Flores (LF '06) Named New York-Penn League All-Star MVP
Tri-City's David Flores (Little Falls '06) belted a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the ninth inning to help the National League affiliate all-stars defeat the American League affiliate all-stars, 4-3, in the 2008 New York-Penn League All-Star Game on Aug. 19 at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy, N.Y. Flores was named the All-Star Game's Most Valuable Player.
Flores, playing in front of a hometown crowd, advanced to the plate in the bottom of the ninth against Oneonta Tigers closer Tyler Stohr with two outs and runners on first and second. Flores slammed Stohr's second offering into deep left field. Left fielder Robbie Widlansky attempted to make a lunging catch on the warning track but dropped the ball when he collided with the fence. Tri-City's B.J. Shuck scored to tie the game and Batavia's Charles Cutler crossed the plate with the winning run for the National League affiliates, sending a sell-out crowd of 6,149 into a frenzy.
The Union City, Calif., native entered the game as in the sixth inning as a defensive replacement. He finished 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run walk-off double.
A graduate of the New York Collegiate Baseball League has won the New York-Penn League All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award two years in a row. Last year, Oneonta's Chris Carlson (Glens Falls '04) was selected as the All-Star Game MVP. He swatted a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning to help the American League affiliate all-stars defeat the National League affiliate all-stars at Hudson Valley's Dutchess County Stadium.
Flores was a member of the NYCBL's Little Falls Diamond Miners in 2006. He led the league with 36 runs batted in between the regular season and playoffs. Flores hit .331 and finished second in the 14-team circuit with six clouts. The former Diamond Miner was chosen out of Sacramento State by the Houston Astros in the 18th round (542nd overall) of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft.

Tiffee (Hornell '98) Leads Team USA To Olympic Bronze
Terry Tiffee (Hornell '98) batted .324 in nine games and logged a team-high 12 hits, including six doubles, as the United States Olympic Baseball team put together a bronze-medal winning performance at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
Team USA went 5-2 in pool play with victories over the Netherlands, China, Chinese Taipei, Canada and Japan. After falling in the semifinals of the medal round to Cuba, Team USA won the bronze with an 8-4 triumph over Japan.
Tiffee, a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system, was one of three players to start all nine of Team USA's games.

Tiffee drove in five runs, scored four runs, walked twice, accumulated a .486 slugging percentage and did not committ an error in 84 defensive chances.
The North Pratt, Ark., native had at least one hit in seven of Team USA's nine games and he recorded five-straight multi-hit games to begin the Olympic tournament.

After Brian Barden tied the game with an RBI double in the seventh, Tiffee belted a run-scoring double off of reliever Rheal Cormier to put the Americans on top.
Tiffee, who plays for the Las Vegas 51s, currently leads the Triple-A Pacific Coast League with a .373 batting average. Since returning from the Olympics, Tiffee has seven hits and four RBI for the 51s. The PCL regular season concludes on Labor Day.

Hornell's Tenhouse Named NYCBL Coach of the Year
Tenhouse’s Dodgers won the Western Division regular season title, amassed the best record and winning percentage in the NYCBL and advanced to the Western Division finals. Hornell finished the regular season with a 32-10 record and .762 winning percentage. The Dodgers’ 32 victories are the most by a Western Division team since the 2005 Hornell squad posted 34 triumphs in a 47-game season. The team’s divisional finals appearance was its’ first since 2005.
Tenhouse guided his club, featuring just three position-player substitutes, to a pair of seven-game winning streaks and a six-game winning streak over the course of the two-month regular season. The Dodgers held first place or were tied for first in the Western Division from June 12 through July 21. After falling a half-game behind Brockport on July 22, the Dodgers closed the regular season with seven-straight wins to finish five games ahead of the eventual league champions.
Hornell’s .762 winning percentage during the 42-game regular season was the highest in the NYCBL and the best among 71 teams over eight leagues in the National Alliance for College Summer Baseball (NACSB). The .762 winning percentage is the second highest in the NYCBL’s modern era (post-2000). Last summer, the Glens Falls Golden Eagles posted an .850 winning percentage.
The Dodgers have won four Western Division regular-season titles since 2003 (2003, 2004, 2005, 2008) and made the playoffs in six out of the last seven years.
Tenhouse, the first-year Dodgers bench boss, is an assistant baseball coach at

RIVERBATS WIN NYCBL CHAMPIONSHIP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John McGraw
Aug. 9, 2008 SaltCitySports@aol.com
RIVERBATS WIN NYCBL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 10 INNINGS
GLENS FALLS, N.Y. – Championship Series’ Most Valuable Player Ryan Nokelby (Texas Lutheran) plated Jeff Abrams (Binghamton) with a 10th-inning sacrifice fly as the Brockport Riverbats edged the Glens Falls Golden Eagles, 3-2, in 10 innings to win the 2008 New York Collegiate Baseball League championship. The Riverbats won the best-of-three series, two games to one. The title is the first in the five-year history of the franchise.
Abrams singled off Glens Falls reliever Marc Damon (Pima CC) to start the tenth inning. David Ahonen (Ithaca) advanced Abrams to second with a sacrifice bunt. Kyle Harvey (Texas Lutheran) and Billy Herman (Slippery Rock) drew back-to-back one-out walks to load the bases. Anthony Giansanti (Siena) replaced Marc Damon to face Ryan Nokelby. Nokelby hit a long fly ball to left field that was caught by Jonathan White, but Abrams scored from third to break a 2-2 tie.
The Golden Eagles threatened in the bottom of the tenth but could not score. Todd Brazeal (South Florida) worked a lead-off walk. Brazeal moved to second on a Nick McCoy (San Diego) sacrifice bunt and then to third on a Jonathan Koscso (South Florida) ground out. Brockport’s Jeremy Macklin (Huston-Tillotson) forced Curt Courtwright to ground out to second to end the game.
Macklin pitched three innings of scoreless relief. He allowed one hit, walked one and struck out two. Brockport starter P.J. Saporito pitched seven strong innings. Saporito yielded two runs on four hits and struck out seven. Jeff Abrams had a game-high two hits for the Riverbats and Corey Taylor (Binghamton) clubbed an RBI double.
Marc Damon suffered the hard-luck loss. He allowed one run on one hit, walked two and struck out five. Damon retired the first nine batters he faced. Starter Scott DeNault (San Diego) pitched the first six innings. DeNault gave up two runs on three hits, walked three and struck out six. Game-two hero Jonathan White (Vanderbilt) was 2-for-4 with one RBI and Chad Stang (Midland) drove in one run.
The Golden Eagles struck first in the second inning. Jonathan Koscso belted a lead-off single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and went to third on a wild pitch. Chad Stang plated Koscso with a ground out to the right side to give the Golden Eagles a 1-0 lead.
Brockport plated two runs in the sixth inning to gain a one-run edge. With runners on first and second and one out, Corey Taylor smashed a Scott DeNault offering to left-center field. Ryan Nokelby scored from second to tie the game. An error on the relay attempt by Glens Falls allowed Jesse Bosnik (St. Bonaventure) to score all the way from first.
Glens Falls knotted the score at two in the seventh inning. Scott Lawson (Miami, Fla.) ripped a lead-off single to left field and went to second on a sacrifice bunt. Jonathan White slapped a game-tying single to right field that scored Lawson from second.
Notes: After the game, the league handed out its’ postseason awards. Brockport pitcher Ryan O’Rourke (Merrimack) took home the Tom Kenney Golden Glove. He pitched a two-hit shutout over seven innings in Brockport’s victory in game one. Glens Falls outfielder Jonathan White grabbed the Bob Bellizzi Big Stick. He batted .455 in the series with five hits, four stolen bases and three RBI. Championship Series’ MVP Ryan Nokelby totaled six hits in the three-game series, scored three runs and drove in two.

He scored to tie the game on a Todd Brazeal (South Florida) RBI double. White tripled home Scott Lawson (Miami, Fla.) in the third inning to break a 2-2 deadlock and then scored on a Brockport error. The Shelbyville, Tenn., native capped off the scoring for the Golden Eagles in the seventh with a sacrifice fly to center field.
Wagoner held Brockport to three runs (two earned) over the first six innings. He yielded five hits, walked four and struck out five in an 122-pitch outing. Will Hassett (Siena) worked a scoreless seventh and closer Anthony Giansanti (Siena) retired six-straight batters to earn his third save of the playoffs.

The Riverbats opened the scoring in the second inning. Jared Hood (Texas-Tyler) started the frame with a base hit. Richard Royal brought Hood home with a two-out single to right field giving the ‘Bats a 1-0 lead. The Golden Eagles plated two runs in the bottom half of the frame to garner a one-run advantage. Todd Brazeal smashed a run-scoring double to right field and later scored on a Jonathan Koscso (South Florida) RBI single.
Brockport tied the game in the third inning with an unearned run. Kyle Harvey (Texas Lutheran) reached first on an error to start the frame. He moved to third on a double by Ryan Nokelby and scored on a ground out from Jesse Bosnik. The Golden Eagles took the lead for good with two runs in the bottom of the third.
