Sunday, August 1, 2004 By Jack Schaub The StewDoggz are once again the Medford Lakes Men's Softball Champions. Successfully defending their "back to back" titles, they now own a "three-peat" with their third straight championship. It's only the fourth time that's been accomplished in modern league history. For the third consecutive year, the 'Doggz did not lose a game in the playoffs, extending their playoff unbeaten streak to 12 games. Waiting for the 'Doggz in the final of the winners bracket was the league's newest team, #2 seed Chico's Bail Bonds. The two division rivals split their regular season match ups, which were decided by one and two run margins, so another close game was in order. |

By Vincent Lewis Mother Nature has the ability to rain on any parade at will. That was clearly demonstrated several weeks ago when the heavy rain visited Burlington County causing a substantial damage to homes and businesses. Jack Schaub and Tom Wiker from the Medford Lakes Softball League planned to go on with their league and continue their year end tradition by giving back to the community a year end celebration. Over the last 20 years the Medford Lakes Men's Softball league has donated over $30,000 to the MLAA (Medford Lakes Athletic Association). This year, the league will also have a fund drive to give towards the Medford Lakes flood relief fund. The playoffs began last weekend with the championship being scheduled for tomorrow. |
