1990 ASA Men’s C Slow Pitch Nationals

1990 held Southwest Complex, in Lakeland, Florida on September 20-23.

Champion – B&M Produce, Plant City, Florida
Runner Up – Scoreboard Cafe/Silver Spirits, Smithtown, New York

B&M Produce, Plant City, FL, took two big steps to national title Sept. 22, but still had at least two more to go.

B&M utilizing stingy defense and consistent pitching, beat First Choice of Baltimore, MD, 7-3, and Solid Rubber/Mason Sports of Tampa, FL, 5-4, to reach the winners’ bracket final in the ASA Men’s C Slow Pitch National Tournament at Southwest Complex.

B&M faced Scoreboard Pub/Silver Spirits, Smithtown, NY, the following day in the winners’ bracket final and beat them 14-9.

To reach the finals, B&M needed a dramatic finish to top Solid Rubber.

In the bottom of the seventh, Keith Dreggors led off for B&M with a single and moved to second on a flyout. After Terry Colding was intentionally walked, Mike Bellflower replaced Dreggors at second.

Pinch-hitter Donnie Young singled sharply up the middle as Bellflower stopped at third. Stacy Barrow ended matters with a deep fly to right-center that fell for a single.

Pitcher Jack Lambert scattered 12 singles as B&M avenged a loss to Solid Rubber in the final of a national qualifier in Lakeland in June. In fact, this year, Solid Rubber had beaten B&M four out of five times until Saturday.

“It was the home team advantage that time,” B&M Manager Ben Wright said. “That’s the difference between us.”

“The defense made some big plays,” Wright added. “The big thing is the pitcher (Lambert) controlled the tempo. Jack likes to slow it down. They never got their rhythm.”

B&M third baseman Jimmy Garrison and outfielder Colding were both named to the All-America team.
