Badger Roofing wins Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 50-Over Fast Pitch National
\n7\/12\/2005<\/p>\n

Prescott, Ariz.—It took an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Iron Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d effort by pitcher Lonnie Brooks for Badger Roofing to take the ASA Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 50-Over Fast Pitch National Championship title. Brooks pitched four consecutive games on Sunday to lead the hometown favorite to its first ASA National Championship title.<\/p>\n

Badger Roofing cruised into the final day of the tournament with a perfect 3-0 record after posting wins over the Houston Texans (Houston, Texas) 5-1, R&W Plumbing (Stockton, Calif.) 9-2 and the Darrow Concrete Raiders (Mt. Horeb, Wis.) 11-3.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, Badger Roofing was shell shocked in its first game after getting drilled by the Clearwater Pride (Clearwater, Fla.) 10-2. The men from Prescott, who had only allowed six runs total in its first three games before meeting up with the Pride, found themselves in the loser\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bracket fighting to stay in the tournament. The loss meant Badger Roofing would have to win three consecutive games back-to-back-to-back if it hoped to win the title.<\/p>\n

A 12-1 win over the Southern California Masters (Lancaster, Calif.) put the team back on track and into the finals against the same team that had run-ruled it earlier in the day. This time the fortunes were turned as Badger Roofing run-ruled the Clearwater Pride, 12-2, to force the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153if\u00e2\u20ac\u009d game.<\/p>\n

With the hometown crowd cheering them on, the hometown favorite edged the Pride 6-5 to win its first National Championship title.<\/p>\n
