Slogan for 2007.........Let's Get Serious

Die Hard finished up in 3rd place on Monday at 6-4. We didn't fare well in the playoffs going 2-3. Our offense was out of sync and we didn't hit well as a team in the playoffs.

We finished up at 5-5 on Wednesday in the regular season. We went 0-3 in the playoffs losing 2 close games by a run each. We lost some of the focus and energy that we had earlier in the year.

Overall we went 19-13 in three regular season A leagues at Melas for 2005. We finished 2-7 in the playoffs at Melas for the year.

Buffalo Wild Wings has been generous in sponsoring us since 2007. Its a great place to eat and watch a game. Thanks to BWW for their continued support!

Top hitters for the tourney: Tom "Soup" Campbell 4-4, Eric Ostberg 7-8, Joe Frieburger 5-7, Mike Gomez 6-10, Tim Pignato 5-9.

2004 was a successful season for Die Hard. We finished 12-0 in the Schaumburg summer league and then followed that up with a 11-0 record in the fall on Thursdays. Some of us played on Lionheart in the fall which went undefeated with a record of 10-0. Many of us played Friday nights in Arlington where we went 15-1.

We only played in two tourneys. We came in 2nd (3-2) at the ASA D NIT in Itasca and we went 0-2 in the ASA State Metro. If we are going to do better we'll need a bigger commitment to tourney ball.

Next year we will shoot for Arlington Heights on either Tue or Wed A league. Should be better competition and fun.

We'd like to thank our sponsor Damon's Grill located at 1140 East Higgins Road in Schaumburg. If you haven't gone there yet, do so. They have great food and an awesome atmosphere! Tell em' Die Hard sent you.

Die Hard played in the Chicago ASA D Metro last weekend and did not fare well. Game 1 we lost to Pla Ball by the score of 11-9. We showed no energy, no life and played like we were going through the motions. Game 2, we lost to Caps/Fury 15-10. Same story. No passion or energy and that came through in our defense and lack of timely hitting.

Die Hard participated in the Itasca ASA D NIT 7/10/04. Die Hard opened up play with a 13-12 loss to Chasing 11. Die Hard jumped ahead with a 7 run first inning but stopped hitting after that. Die Hard was ahead the whole game and failed to hold two leads to Chaisng 11 who won in the 8th inning. Next up Die Hard defeated CapsFury 7-2. In the next game DH defeated Stallions 16-1. Next up was Pla Ball and DH won 22-1. DH faced Buzz as the final two teams. DH was ahead 11-10 after batting in the 5th but ran out of gas and failed to hold the lead and lost 18-11. Overall it was a good tourney considering the disappointing 1st game loss. Special thanks to our buddies from Scrap that played with us in the tourney. They all played awesome.

Hitting leaders were:

Desi 10/17
Eric 11/19 HR
Brett 11/19

Die Hard completed an undefeated season by going 10-0 in the regular season on Wed at Schaumburg and then taking the playoffs by winning both games. Final record 12-0. Way to go guys!! Die Hard won a tough game over the Cougars 10-8 in round one of the playoffs. In the championship the Ice House Dogs were up a few runs most of the game. Then Die Hard came back with 6 in the 5th and 3 in the 6th to take a 13-12 lead going into the 7th. The visiting Die Hard put up a 13 run 7th including 9 with 2 outs to take the game by a score of 26-12.
