The new DLC Direc- tor Sean DeFelice lead this year’s Dairy- land Classic Committee. SSBL assistant commissioner Pete Nys noted this year’s participants, a total of 27 teams, came from Chicago, Madison and Minneapolis/St. Paul. According to Nys, a dozen local teams from Milwaukee regis- tered to participate as well. They repre- sented both recreational and competitive levels. The D recreational division played at Wick Field located on Vliet and 51 th Streets. The C competitive division played at Wilson Park, one of field complexes used during NAGAAAFest 2009. Madison Madd Dawgs catcher and State Representative Tim Carpenter, a DLC veteran player from the early days, said “it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come. This event has grown so much over the years. Milwaukee’s community has a lot to be proud of.” Charlie’s, a new D divison team spon- sored by Club Charlie, made its DLC debut. The Milwaukee Gay Arts Center fields Scream, the only SSBL league team not sponsored by a bar boasts a fully diverse roster of men and women ranges from uni- versity professors to a chef. Asked about Scream’s third Dairyland Classic, co-man- ager Will Pelfrey said, “we have a great recreational team and had a wonderful weekend of softball. People join Scream because we’re all about having fun.” Players awoke on Saturday morning to a thunderous welcome as a major storm swept through the area. The rain drenched the fields but, helped by pounds of kitty lit- ter, games began with only a slight delay. However, a second storm front hit Milwau- fresco festivities. Included were the DLC and the Party in the Park. “Cream City awards ceremony and live entertainment Foundation recognizes the importance of featuring Almost ABBA, a Las Vegas style SSBL in Milwaukee’s very active LGBT Abba tribute band. sports scene.

kee early in the afternoon. At around 1:30pm, with lightning and heavy rain, of- ficials cancelled play in deference to player safety. Sunday morning looked promising, as the storms had passed. But, the Saturday cancellation forced C division teams to start their games at 7am! In order to catch up on Saturday’s scheduled play, games were also limited to 45 minutes. Despite windy and cloudy conditions later in the day, the Dairyland Classic continued to its finish. Fluid Force won the 1st Place Trophy in the C Division, followed by Chicago Mas- ter Batters, La Cage DT and Minneapolis Pheonix. The D Division 1st Place went to Milwaukee Inch by Inch. The Madison Meat Locker, Boom Bulldogs and Club Charlie picked up second, third and fourth place trophies respectively.

After the Last Out The Dairyland Classic concluded with a street party. “A highlight of NAGAAAFest was the Street Bash so we decided to bring it back for the last DLC in 2010 when it was held on National Avenue. It’s all made possible by our generous sponsors and volunteers.” Nys said. The 2011 DLC Party in the Park took place Sunday evening at Catalano Square, a wedge- shaped green across from Charlie’s Bar in the Historic Third Ward.
