Kopp’s Miracle – Orangemen Grab Wisconsin State Title

Monday, July 17th, 2006

ORANGEMEN WIN STATE CLASS A

In the midst of a woeful 2006 campaign, Brecka’s Orangemen stayed in the winner’s bracket for the duration, reeling off five consecutive wins to capture the class A championship of the 16-team Wisconsin NAFA men’s fastpitch state tournament held this past weekend at Middleton.

The championship encounter with Schneid’s Sports Bar and Grill of Madison turned into a 13-3 Brecka’s route, as the Orangemen began the game with six straight hits, highlighted by a 3-run home run by Andy Mathews and followed by a long triple off the bat of Tatum Candler. Mathews had five total runs batted in for the contest. Jake Nelson along with Mathews turned in two for three performances, Greg Nelson and Tim Hall were two for four with a triple and double respectively, and Jeff Bader had two singles in four trips as Larry Cushman went the route for the pitching victory.

A Chance to Help Out

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

We pass along this note from Kevin Liguore, regarding a great way to help out the family of the late Travis Law:

As you guys already know, we lost a great friend, teammate, and most important, husband and father, a few weeks ago in the passing of Travis Law. As you may or may not know, Travis has left a family which consists of his wife Lisa, and 4 sons(Matt 20 yrs, Dayton 8 yrs, and twin 4 year olds – Darius and Donovan).

His death was so sudden that there are now decisions that have to be made that are not easy for Lisa. She is in the process of getting her house ready to sell, a house that she and Travis bought 2 years ago in Gilroy. She plans to stay in the area but cannot afford the payments
for this house. There are many people in the community that have come to her aid. We(Country Club Softball) have been going over on weekends working on the house, doing what we can to get it ready to sell. They are very active in the school district, which have also helped them in different ways.

On Friday, August 4th, there will be a San Jose Giants game dedicated to the memory of Travis.
