On Saturday, the GHFL named the 2005 Award winners:<\/p>\n
2005 GHFL Top Pitcher
\nDan Duemo, Niagara Snappers, 8-0, 54 IP, 76 Ks, 4 BBs, 1.76 ERA
\nSpecial note – In ISC, GHFL and tournament play, Dan Duemo pitched 226 innings this year and struck out his 300th batter of the season in the championship game, ending the year with 305 Ks and record of 33-7. Congratulations on a tremendous season, Dan!<\/p>\n
2005 GHFL MVP

\nSpecial note – Tim had a total of 22 HRs on the season, including four in the playoff tournament, combining power with spectacular defence game in and game out at shortstop.<\/p>\n
2005 Al & Janet Greatrix Dedication Award
\nInaugural Presentation made to Al & Janet Greatrix
\nSpecial note – Al & Janet have been active in minor softball in Niagara Falls for years and have been the guardians of the Niagara Falls Men’s Fastball League since the early 1990s. When health issues curtailed some of the time they could spend at the park this year, it took a lot of volunteers to do only some of the things that Al & Janet do. We’re glad to have them back at the park and in good health and look forward to many more years of fastball in Niagara Falls.
