Thank you visiting the web site of the Rochester NABA Wood Bat Baseball League....we hope you like the changes. We’re in our 18th season of action and as always, we have all kinds of terrific plans for the season. Stay tuned for more updates as the season progresses!
Congrats to Manager, Tim Sova, the rest of the Sova’s and their supposed “over the hill gang”! Rochester’s own lovable Cubbies squad came back on the defending champion, Grays, to win in a 8-7 nail-biter at beautiful Dugan Yard at St. John Fisher.
Mother Nature lost out to Lady Luck as the weather held out and the rag-tag group of free-agents assembled by GM/3B John Scarpelli, known as “Da Bums”, took the Labor Day Classic Championship. It was a true team effort highlighted by stellar pitching efforts from Gary Hebert, Arian Horbovetz and Mike Hebert. The team voted Mike the MVP after he shut down the high-scoring Rockies. And rounding out Team Hebert, Mark played a great first base and came through in the clutch catching the Sunday morning game. Both “rookies”, Marco Fantauzzi and Tim Lynne contributed in their first hardball action after years away from the diamond. Duke Germano and Alex DiMuro shored up the corners in the outfield and old-time NABA’rs Rick Goldman and Sean Mahoney played a great Center and Left Field. Finally, the team was anchored by Webster “youngsters” Jeff Eckler (SS/3B) and Mike G (C/3B), both of whom also wielded big sticks for ‘Da Bums.
My thanx to all the players who came out for the tourney, the Managers who stepped up (Scott Schum, Mike Tepper, Mickey Harris and Jay Mann) and especially, Zach O’Brien who did a terrific job coordinating our efforts.

Congratulations to Gary Hebert and the rest of the Red Stockings on winning the 2010 Championship in one of our most competitive seasons ever!
On a perfect night for baseball out at Frontier Field, the National League All Stars bested their AL rivals, 9-7. The NL was led by MVP, Matt Holtby of the Grays, who had two hits and three RBI’s, including the eventual game-winner.

A terrific season for the 18+ Cubs was capped with a their second straight Championship victory on Sunday, August 14, 2011. Manager Tim Sova once again pulled all the right strings as his veteran ball club topped the “rookie” Geneva Braves squad. The Braves were led by their Manager sand NABA All Star, Scott Ross and featured a top-caliber roster, going 13 and 5 in their inaugural NABA campaign.
Congrats to the the Cubs on their Championship and to the Braves for a fantastic first season in the NABA!
