2010 came to an end Sunday with a
heartbreaking loss to the eventual State Champion Perdue Chicks. The
Dogs drew the 4th seed in the tournament meaning they
would need to win 3 consecutive 9 inning games for their first state
championship. In game one they squared off against the Baltimore
Baseball League Champions the Cancun Cantina Bulls. Matt Buchholz
took the mound for the Dogs and in his typical fashion racked up 13
K's over 7 complete innings of work. With the Dogs trailing 2-1 in
the bottom of the 8th, Buchholz lead the inning off with a
double, Sherwood singled and Roebuck walked to load the bases for
Rich Ropp all with 2 outs. Ropp came through with bases clearing 3
RBI double to the left center field gap to put them back on top 4-2.
Jason Christenberry, who came on in relief in the 8th
picked up the win hurling the final 2 frames allowing only 1 hit and
no runs. In game 2 the Dogs' went against the 1
seeded Perdue Chicks of the Eastern Shore League. Rich Ropp again
provided the offensive spark picking up the teams only RBI in the top
of the 6th driving a single into left field. Ropp would
later swipe 2nd and advance to third on the errant throw
and then score on a wild pitch. Jason Christenberry got the start
and pitched the complete game picking up the hard luck loss as Perdue
battled back in the bottom of the 9th with one out
stringing together a hit batter, an error, a single, a double and a
suicide squeeze for the walk off win. Perdue advanced to the
Championship game were they defeated the Tri-State Titans for their
first State Championship.

Flying Dogs Changing Their Name in 2011?
Sunday, August 22 @ 16:03:13 EDT (23 reads)

2009 marked the end of the Flying Dog Brewery's support of the ball club. With a changing corporate atmosphere and a shift in priorities we were unable to garner their support for the 2010 season. The team has been discussing the possibility of a name change for 2011 with many believing that we should no longer bear their name if they are not going to sponsor the team. Some veterans, however feel that the Flying Dogs is the clubs identity and we should keep our name. What is your opinion? Take our poll.

2-1 Record Not Good Enough for the Flying Dogs at NABF Regional

The Flying Dogs turned in their best performance yet in the NABF Regional, winning 2 of 3 games in pool play. On day one the Dog's were matched up against a local rival in the Brunswick Orioles from the Blue Ridge Adult League. The Dogs came out swinging in the 1st sending 10 batters to the plate and stringing together 5 hits and 5 runs in the inning. Chris Fulda and Seth Sherwood had back-to-back doubles in the inning. The Dogs tacked on additional runs in the 3rd, 5th and 6th innings while allowing only a lone run to the visiting Orioles in the 5th. Matt Buchholz was masterful on the hill going the complete 7 innings allowing only 1 run on 2 hits while striking out 8.
Game 2 was a different story as the Dogs fell 9-2 to the eventual champions Murray's Diesel out of Buffalo, NY. Flying Dogs starter Erik Hufnagel struggled to find the strike zone issuing 8 free passes but was able to minimize the damage by allowing only 4 runs on 2 hits and striking out 8 over 4 2/3 innings of work before succumbing to a blister that opened up on his index finger. Steven Shriner, Chris Fulda and Matt Buchholz all had doubles and the Flying Dogs offense stranded 8 runners in scoring position throughout the game.
In game 3 the Flying Dogs offense chased down the lead in the bottom of the 6th having played from behind the entire game. Rich Ropp when the distance on the hill scattering 8 hits and 5 K's over 7 innings of work. After allowing a 2 run homerun in the 2nd Ropp was able to hold the local Tri-County Titans to a single run in each of the 4th and 5th innings. The Dogs offense pounded out 7 hits in the game, 5 for extra bases. Chris Fulda had a double, a homerun and 2 RBI. Brandon Roebuck had 2 doubles and an RBI and Steve Canale added a double and 2 RBI.
The 2-1 record would not be enough to advance the Flying Dogs as two other teams, Buffalo and Brunswick also finished with a 2-1 record. The tie breaker could not be determined by head-to-head so it was determined by runs allowed, Buffalo with 6 runs allowed advanced to the semi-final round as did Brunswick with 9 runs allowed. The Dogs just missed the cut with 10 runs allowed.
