North Mankato, Minnesota


Sunday evening, the Scarlett's of Sioux Falls, South Dakota won the NAFA 
A-Major World Series Championship.  The Scarlett's defeated the Duncan 
Outlaws 11-5 in a "Winner Take All" Final.   In just it's second year of 
existence, the Scarlett's join the Boise Clippers (Boise, ID) as the only 
champions in NAFA Class A-Major.

Duncan jumped on the scoreboard early, scoring five runs in the runs in the 
top of the first inning, including a home run to begin the game by Allen Hodge.

The Scarlett's scored two runs in the bottom of third inning on an two-RBI 
single by Chuck Huntimer.

The Scarlett's bats came alive in the sixth as they scored nine runs, 
making it 11 unanswered runs by the Scarlett's.  Three walks were mixed in 
with singles by Chuck Huntimer, Lon Anderson, Don Hegge, Mark Mueller and a 
double by Dave Loruny.

Dan Huisman, former Minnesota State Director for NAFA, got the Championship 
game win in relief of starter LeRoy Jolstad.



The Duncan Outlaws forced the "If Necessary" game with a dramatic 6-5 
win.  The Scarlett's brought the game even 5-5 in the top of the 
seventh.  With one out, Jimmy Cobb singled.  Cobb then advanced to third on 
Brent Miller's single through the left side of the infield.  The next 
batter, Jeff Gangler, was walked intentionally.  Tim Smart came to 
plate.  He hit a grounder to the second basemen, who threw the ball 
home.  The catcher then attempted to get Smart out at first base.  Instead 
his throw sailed wide and Miller scored to give the Outlaws the win.

Graff Pepsi of Brookfield, Missouri earned fifth place.  Graff Pepsi lost 
to the Scarlett's in the Winner's Bracket Final before losing to the Duncan 
Outlaws.  Rudd's Team and Trophy of Peoria, Illinois placed fourth.



The Scarlett's Dave Lorang was named the A-Major Most Valuable 
Player.  Teammate Leroy Jolstad earned Most Valuable Pitcher honors.  Tim 
Smart of the Duncan Outlaws was named the Best Offensive 
Player.  Outstanding Coach went to the Duncan Outlaws skipper Matt Miller.

The Sportsmanship Award went to Rudd's Team and Trophy.
