posted Sat September 11, 2010

Even mother nature could not put an end to the Dutchers winning ways on a commemorative day at Beery Field. In memory of the lives lost on 9/11, Sgt Andrew Schwallier from the 126th Army Band provided a bright moment for both clubs on an otherwise rainy and dreary day as he performed Taps and the Star Spangled Banner prior to the match. Despite falling behind by a tally of 6-2 after the first round, the resilient Dutchers regained their composure and sank the South Haven Barkpeelers for the second time this season by a final tally of 19-9. Douglas closes out their successful season with 14 victories against 4 defeats.
