Hughes Ballpark. The Crushers took the best of five series three games to two. The Crushers used a seven –run fifth inning to erase a two-run deficit and power themselves to the championship as Tyler Johnson hit a three-run double and Todd Balduf added a two-run single to highlight the hit parade. “Doing this in year one, building a championship from scratch, that’s what made this so special,” a champagne-drenched Manager John Massarelli said afterwards. “This is just an amazing feeling to share this with this great group of guys.” more: http://www.lakeeriecrushers.com/AnnouncementRetrieve.aspx?ID=28836 here are some scenes from a game we went to this summer: avon crushers vs evansville otters -- aug 22nd, 2009 the new ballpark in avon, all-pro freight stadium, is very nice a big crowd ignores the weird freezing cold, rainy, miserable weather I found this too large 12/12/08 construction photo from the ironworkers local 19 website: http://www.ironworkers17.org/UserFiles/Image/Avon%20Ballpark.jpg more stadium construction pics here: http://www.ironworkers17.org/sub/avon_crushers yep, it’s an official minor league baseball park -- they got dippin dots! :laugh: left field has ‘weed pro hill,’ the kids were sliding and rolling down it lots of chatting with the fans and signing autographs the windup… …and the pitch! more warming up the free promotion -- my mom collects this stuff, so that’s why we went despite bad weather there is a big cap down the 1st base line, it faces the highway 7th inning stretch hs band upper deck, you can rent the tables, & they have table service, that seemed to be popular plenty of tee shirts and other gift shop merch *** that's it from ne ohio minor league baseball -- again congrats to the crushers! ***
