Plus 40 – The 2013 White Plains Residential C Playoff Champions
Lou DeMarco of the White Plains Recreation Department presents the White Plains Recreation Softball Residential C Playoff Championship Trophy to Herb Fabel and the Plus 40 Softball Team.
Plus 40 swept Mansion-Broadway in two straight games of the best two-out-of-three games Residential C Playoff Championship Series. Plus 40 won the first game 12-8 and then came-back in the night-cap to win a fierce battle of wills in the last inning 10-9.
“My hat is off to Mansion-Broadway, as they are a good team. But if you hit the ball hard anything can happen,” expressed pitcher Mike Dillegge, who won both games of the doubleheader for Plus 40. Mansion-Broadway was the favorite to win the Playoff Championship having won the Residential C League this year.
The Plus 40 team is sponsored by the American Legion Post 135 on Mitchell Place, in White Plains.
