Nighthawks beat Plateau AC 8-6 in the opening game of the tournament. Plateau didn't lose another game. The first game was tied 6-6 after 7 innings, Plateau scored a run in the top of the eight on a triple by Eli Drysten and he scored on an error on the throw. With one out in the bottom of the eighth, Tony Cioffi singled for the Nighthawks. Zeke Sinicola crushed a long drive to left center. Vince Branigan made a great catch. Cioffi went back to first to tag up and was thrown out on the relay from Branigan to Bob Beier to Mort Weinberg to end the game as Lou Russo was on deck. The final game saw Branigan, Weinberg, George O'Neil and Neil O'Neil all hit HRs for Plateau. Mickey McGuire, who led the Jones Beach Slow Pitch in hitting with a .705 average hit well for Musicaros, but it wasn't enough

Plateau AC started the National like a ball of fire, going through the winner’s bracket undefeated, winning 5 straight games. George O’Neill, Mort Weinberg and Vinny Brannigan supplied the power, while Neil O’Neill and Bob Beier had the hot bats. Beier was 4 for 4 in his first two games and then 3 for 3 against Gatliff’s with 3 RBIs. They defeated defending National Champ, Hamilton Tailors of Cincinnati 9-8 in the winner’s bracket final. After The Tailors eliminated Gatliff Auto Sales in the loser’s bracket final, they came back with Pitcher Sam Minnitti once again pitching incredible softball. They came back and defeated Plateau twice in the finals. Minnitti hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning of the first final to beat Plateau 5-2. And then in the final game, he pitched a masterful three-hit shutout over the Maspeth-Queens squad to win the title.

==================================================

ASA National – Cleveland, OH – 3rd Place 6-2 (Game Scores – Plateau AC)
Plateau AC won their first two games led by Morty Weinberg, Dennis Kelly and Bob Beier. The lost their first game to eventual champion, Skip Hogan AC of Pittsburgh. The loss dropped them to the loser’s bracket where they proceeded to reel off four straight wins behind the pitching of Jon Rodman and the stellar Plateau AC defense. They were one victory away from the Championship when they met the 1958 National Champ, East Side Sporting Goods of Detroit. Plateau came up on the short end of the 5-1 score as Bill Cole (who would later be named the Tournament MVP was 3 for 3 with a HR). Plateau finished in third place with a 6-2 record. In the 1961 and 1962 Nationals, their combined record was now 11-4 with a runner-up and third place finish. They also were the talk of the tournament with Bermuda Shorts that they wore. They finished the season a 64-12 record.

MVP - Jim Galloway, Musicaro Foods (9-14, .643, 4 HRs, 10 RBIs)
Note - Duke King, Musicaro's (4-0 Pitching)

NOTE- County Sports added former professional football player Bill Brown who was an absolute beast on the mound and

also averaged 2 hits and a HR a game for the Levittown squad. Add that to the already impressive power ot Ray Frisch and

Cliff White and this team seems unbeatable. But something happened on the way to the finals. They got caught in a Mousetrap

and finished up a disappointing 5th place. With Duke King pitching and Jim Galloway hitting the ball in orbit, Musicaro's

romped to their second straight NYC Metro Crown. Oscar Steadman and Lou Russo also came up big at the plate.

the Rams. The final two games were won on the strength of the Titans OF of Mike Foley, Steve Shurina, Leon
