GHTBL All-Stars outlasted the CTL All-Stars tonight by a score of 5 to 1 after 10 innings.
Many thanks to CTL for hosting us at one of America’s greatest ballparks.
Thus concludes the 91st year of the GHTBL. This season was a huge step forward for the league. 8 strong teams competed until the very end and a record number of college players gained valuable experience. Great year boys!
