2005 ISA Super Men’s Slow Pitch World Series

ISA Super Major World Series event disbanded.

ISA Class-AA Worlds were disbanded in 2004, but ISA continued to hold their Class-A Worlds from 2004-2007. They were scheduled to be held in 2008, but were cancelled. ISA tried to reorganize the highest class by creating an “Open” class, but decided on calling it the “Elite” class by combining the Class-A and Class-B. There were restrictions on who could play and this class was held successfully in 2009, but were cancelled a number of years until once again being held in 2015. This class never materialized into the ISA World Series as we knew it to be.

2005 ASA Men’s Major Slow Pitch Nationals

2005 held at Memorial Stadium on September 15-18 in Sanford, Florida.

Champion – AM/Las Vegas/Benfield/Reece/Belcher/Easton, Bowling Green, Kentucky
Runner Up – U.S. Armed Forces, Washington, DC

AM Las Vegas/Benfield/Easton finally won its first ASA Major national title at historic Sanford Memorial Stadium with a four inning run-rule 27-5 win over the Armed Forces. They bested a field of three by winning four consecutive games en route to the title. In four games they scored 84 runs and allowed only 25 runs, hitting 33 HR among its 80 hits led by tourney HR champ Brett Helmer (7 HR among his 9-13, .692 performance). After scoring six runs in the first inning of the championship game AM/Las Vegas opened up the throttle on offense in the second inning by scoring 15 runs on nine hits.

Helmer, who was added to the AM/Las Vegas roster for this event, highlighted the inning with a grand slam. Three of Helmer’s homers, worth eight RBIs, came in the championship game and he finished the game 3-for-3.

Tourney MVP Danny Crine, Billy Joe ‘BJ’ Fulk, Brian Justice and Kris O’Hara each hit homers in the inning.

AM/Las Vegas outfit the Armed Forces, 20-7.

Justice plated five runs with a pair of homers and a single, Alex Lavorico smashed three homers in four at-bats to drive in four runs and Fulk had a 3-Run HR in the 15 run second.

This would be the last year of the ASA Major Men’s Slow Pitch National Tournament as it was disbanded after the 2006 season when the 2006 event was cancelled.
