BSSL Championship Series: Flanagan's Wins 7th Consecutive Title


LABRECQUE FIELD, HOUGHS NECK - The Flanagan's dynasty rolls on as the John Cascarano led club won in a blowout to capture it's seventh consecutive championship Wednesday night in Houghs Neck.

The Morrell Club put up a valiant effort, losing game one by one run and games two and three in extra innings. "They're a tough team to beat." said M.C. pitcher, dh Mark Nutley "They pick up the blitz better than any team in the league. They don't get rattled and can also adjust and adapt on the fly very, very well. Smash-mouth or finess, they can do it all."

For Flanagan's, it is their 11th overall title, winning four as the Sons of Italy in the early to mid 90's. The team has won more championships than any other in league history and there is no signs of them slowing down. "It feels great", said Cascarano "It never gets old. Even though we are head and shoulders above the rest of the league, and win most of our games by blowout, it's fun. It's good to be on top. We'll be back next year. It should be easy, but there's always room to improve. Those first three games were way to close for comfort. . . we'll pick up a few guys to strengthen up our weak spots."
