This Week In CCJBL Baseball!!!
July 13, 2017
This past Saturday featured the final contest of the CCJBL season, the League All-Star Game! League coaches voted and the top 24 vote-getters were randomly divided to form the two squads for the game between the Red team and Black team. Note: A special re-entry rule is in place for the All-Star game in which a position player removed from the game may re-enter for any player other than the one he was replaced by after he has been out of the game for two complete innings. Also, each team had to have at least one representative.
Below are the 2017 CCJBL All-Stars

Ewart Walker, Milledgeville Missiles, 11

As always, the league all-star game took place at CCJBL's holy grail, Chadwick's Handel Park. below are photo's of the game score sheets. CCJBL has yet to get me a scanner. Budgets are tight. Times are tough. We make do.
Maddux had a perfect game going until the fourth when Willie Wells played spoiler and Maddux was lifted, bringing to a close one of the best careers in CCJBL history!
Before the game the leagues two postseason awards were handed out. Winning the MVP was Roberto Clemente! The Shannon Eagles cannon-armed outfielder hit .485, slugged .758, hit two home runs, scored eight, and drove in seven!
In a slight surprise it was not CCJBL great Greg Maddux that won the prestigious Tully McAuliffe Pitching Award (NOT a memorial award, the man is alive and well), it was his own teammate William "Candy" Cummings! The kid with the devastating curveball won four games to a single loss and had one save. He boasted a miniscule 2.13 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, while amazingly not issuing a single walk in 20 2/3 innings pitched! Congratulations to both of these fine young players and great luck to them on the next level.
