    Town Championship Game Postponed Indefinitely

    Due to the incessant showers and thunderstorms that besieged North Jersey during the month of June, the 2009 Major League Town Championship Game between V.F.W. Post 227 and Keller-Depken Oil has been postponed indefinitely.

    Two attempts to play the game during the week of 22-Jun were washed out due to late-afternoon thunderstorms, and the teams ultimately agreed to delay the game until after the conclusion of tournament play.

    Keller, the American League champion, had defeated Tancredi Plumbing, 8-3, to advance to meet V.F.W., the National League runner-up, who had scored an 8-3 win over Boiling Springs Savings and then topped league champion P.B.A. Local 300, 4-1.

    The last time the town championship game was delayed beyond the end of tournament play was in 1996, when Keller defeated Rotary, 4-2, on Monday 29-Jul. Before that, the title game was played in September in four successive seasons, 1956-59.

    This year’s Triple-A championship was played Thursday 25-Jun, with PIA Insurance defeating Engine Co. 4, 10-0.


    Field Work Under Way

    In the spring of 2008, Rutherford Little League launched a Capital Campaign to improve its main field. We are proud to announce that the fruits of this labor are now evident.

    Phase 1 of the improvements to the Little League field at Memorial Park is essentially complete. The old grass and soil have been removed, the field has been re-graded, and new sod is in place along with several new sprinkler heads. The outfield fence has also been replaced. Additional clay for the infield and new cinder for the warning track areas will be in place by the start of the 2009 season. A photo gallery is available.

    The next phase will include grading the area outside of third base, using a retaining wall parallel to the third base fence to prevent soil erosion and improve drainage to that area. In the level area, batting cages will be created.

    Donations to the Capital Campaign are still being accepted. Please download this document (in Microsoft Word format) for more details. To date (16-Sep), donations to the campaign exceed $33,500. Thanks to all of our donors.


    Boiling Springs Savings Gives League a CAP

    Boiling Springs Savings Bank, a sponsor of Rutherford Little League since 1957, is giving the League an unprecedented opportunity for fund raising.

    Through its Community Alliance Program (CAP), Boiling Springs will donate a percentage of depositors’ account balances to qualified non-profit organizations based on registration forms received at the bank. The percentage to be donated will be ¼ to ½ percent, depending on the type of account registered.

    To register your accounts for a CAP donation to Rutherford Little League, print this form (in PDF format; requires Adobe Reader or equivalent), fill out the top portion, and bring it to a teller window at Boiling Springs Savings Bank. Once at least twenty depositors are on file, the bank will begin quarterly donations to the League.

    In the second quarter of 2008, the bank donated $1,024.72 to the League. The more depositors registered, the greater the donation. All members, including parents of players, are encouraged to participate in this simple way to donate to the League.


    The 2009 League Fund Drive

    As a non-profit organization, Rutherford Little League is always in need of donations to keep its program running. The Rutherford Little League receives no funding from the Borough of Rutherford or any other government source.

    The annual door-to-door canvass of the Borough took place Saturday 4-Apr, but donations by mail are welcome at any time.

    Checks should be payable to “Rutherford Little League, Inc.” Mailed contributions go to P.O. Box 427, Rutherford, NJ 07070-0427. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

    Rutherford Little League, founded in 1951, is the only organization providing baseball for Borough youths aged 5 through 12.


    Next League Meeting

    The next general membership meeting of Rutherford Little League, Inc., will be held Thursday 25-Jun at 8 p.m. at the Rutherford Little League clubhouse.

    All members are encouraged to attend.
