New York Athletes Headed for Babe Ruth Series
JAMESTOWN, NY (July 20, 2005) - Asa Johnson and Brandon Bergfalk, who are
members of the confirmation class at Zion Covenant Church in Jamestown,
helped make local baseball history over the weekend when their team
became the first ever in their area to advance to the 13-year-old Babe
Ruth World Series.
The two and their teammates will compete against teams from across the
country in the tournament, which is scheduled to be played in Jamestown
August 20-27.
Johnson and Bergfalk advanced to the series when their team, the East
Lake Chautauqua All-Stars, defeated Monroe County of Rochester, New
York, to capture the Western New York Championship. Johnson was the
starting pitcher in two of the team's three wins, including the title
game. Bergfalk plays third base.
The teams were tied at 3-3 when East Lake scored four runs in the
seventh inning with two outs. One of those runs came from an RBI double
by Johnson, who went on to close out the game for the win.
