J&B Painting defeated Maccabi USA 8-1 in the Finals of the 2015 BreederRupp. J&B was the top seed going into Sunday and beat Balboa in their opening game with Team USA Pitcher Tony Mancha getting the win. J&B then beat the Pala Braves ?who earlier in the day knocked off Maccabi Canada and top ISC thrower Devon McCullough. Maccabi got there by beating Lumar Goss and Those Guys and then the hard hitting A-1 Rockies. Russ Snow pitched the first game for Maccabi and Jason Gluckman got the win against A-1. Gluckman came back in the finals with J&B sending ISC pitcher Patrick Burns to the mound. The game was tied 1-1 into the bottom of the 6th when Snow replaced Gluckman. J&B then struck for 7 runs in the bottom of the 6th to take the championship. Mancha picked up the win with an inning of relief work.
Many thanks to all the teams for coming out to remember Dave “Breeder” Blackburn and Cecilio Smalling. Two of the true gentleman of the game of Fastpitch.
