LAST TEAM IS HOME TEAM LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP BEEF RIVER @ AUGUSTA @ HIGHEST SEED FIELD 1:00 2016 Chippewa River Baseball League Preview elcome to another season of competitive and quality amateur baseball in the historic Chippewa River Baseball League. We are proud to say that 2016 amounts to the 88th season of baseball in the CRBL over a 108-year period of time dating back to the summer of 1908. It is remarkable to consider that an estimated W12,100 individuals have played in the CRBL over this long, storied, and documented existence. Humbly stated, very few if any baseball organizations – amateur or professional – across the United States can substantiate such a strong and rich place in America’s pastime as the Chippewa River Baseball League. 2015 saw the Whitehall Wolves beat the Tilden Tigers 4-2 in a well-played and entertaining CRBL championship game at Whitehall. To get to that point, both teams survived Wildcard Wednesday -- Whitehall by downing Osseo and the powerful arm of lefty Jake Peterson 7-0, while Tilden got past the Bears 10-9 in a crazy, back and forth 10 inning game. Congrats to the Wolves in winning their 3rd CRBL championship (2016, 2013, 2012) and continuing to deepen their mark as one of the most dynamic and explosive squads in recent CRBL memory. Alas, for all the great teams, players, and talent evident in the CRBL, 2015 frustratingly marked the fourth (!) WBA tournament in a row that no CRBL team has made it to the Final 8. Amazingly, this is the longest Final 8 drought the CRBL has experienced since 1949 to 1952. It should be noted that the WBA began in 1949. CRBL diehards and lifers should mark these dates on their smart phones, tablets, little black books, and/or refrigerator calendars: April 30/May 1 CRBL Opening Weekend July 1 60th CRBL All-Star game in Osseo, 7 pm August 3 Wildcard Wednesday August 6 Championship Saturday August 12-14 WBA Regionals at sights to be determined August 19-21 WBA Finals at Dairyland League site Please take a few moments to page through this ad book and recognize the many generous sponsors, advertisers, and supporters that enable the CRBL and its member teams to carry on the proud and strong tradition of providing a quality amateur baseball league to the residents of the Chippewa Valley area. The looks and sounds of summer are right around the corner – whirring baseballs, thunderous home runs, a lightning quick double play, diving catches, knee buckling curveballs...

That was the last time Tilden appeared in a championship game, while Whitehall went on to win the CRBL championship in 2012 and 2013. • In total, this will be Whitehall’s fourth league championship game appearance. • Widely considered to be the flagship program of the CRBL, Tilden will be making its 35th appearance in the CRBL championship game, a league record. The Tigers have won 17 CRBL championships, also a league record. • In 2014, the Eau Claire Bears beat the Osseo Merchants 9-3 at Jon Soiney Field in Osseo. Pitcher Hayden Bowe was named game MVP for his relief efforts in the win, throwing the last 6 innings, giving up 4 hits, 2 runs, 2 earned runs, walking 4, and striking out 4. 2015 Noteworthy Performances and Milestones • There were two no-hitters thrown this season. The first came on June 24th when Jake Peterson, Luke Eide, and Logan Boettcher of Osseo no-hit Augusta 10-0 in 8 innings. That marked the eighth combo no-hitter in CRBL history. The second in 2015 came on July 12th when Ben Poppe of Cadott no-hit Augusta 10-0 in 5 innings . Respectively, these marked the 52nd and 53rd no-hitters in CRBL history. • With his league leading 23 stolen bases this year, Whitehall’s Tyler Manley went over the century mark in steals with 107. Also joining that club was Eau Claire’s Reed Pecha, who swiped 12 bags to
