1987 ASA Men’s B Slow Pitch Nationals

1987 held in Lubbock, Texas on September 25-27.

Champion – Prestige Realty, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Runner Up – Busch Beer, North Alexandria, Ohio

The first-ever ASA Men’s Class B Slow Pitch National Championship is in the record books, and, after 117 games, Prestige Realty of Fort Lauderdale, FL, is the 1987 champion.

Prestige defeated Busch Beer of Alexandria, OH, 38-18, in the championship game after having defeated the same team in the winners’ bracket, 15-4, to drop it into the losers’ bracket.

Busch had opened the tourney with wins over Mark Chevrolet of Red Wing, MN and May Refrigeration of Opelika, AL before losing to Prestige Realty. In the losers’ bracket, Busch defeated Valley Sports Complex, Davenport, IA 26-18; Savannah Truck Restoring, Savannah, GA, 22-17; Ridge Runners, Orlando, FL, 16-15; Morgan Construction, Austin, TX, 27-20; and Insulators of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV, 38-18, before the rematch with Prestige Realty.

But Busch had played three games back-to-back to reach the finals and showed the effects of it as Prestige decided the game for all practical purposes with a 10-run second inning. That upped the score to 13-4 with the winners adding 11 more in the top of the sixth. Busch, meanwhile, didn’t score in the second, third, and seventh innings. Its best inning was a seven-run fifth inning.

Prestige finished with 40 hits to 17 for Busch with Glen Zukany (5-for-7), Allen Tanner (5-for-7), and Rick Sheetz (5-for-7) leading for the winners. Curt Glassman and Zukany each drove in 6 runs for the winners. Pat Reid’s six RBI and 2 homers led the losers. Losing pitcher Butch Collette led his team with three hits in as many at-bats.

Zukany earned MVP honors and was one of five Prestige players named first-team all-America.

Prestige had advanced to the championship round with wins over Roofing Consultants, Richmond, VA, 30-24; Jumburrito Classics, Midland, TX, 17-15; McMahon’s Mill, Hagerstown. MD, 17-14; Air Con, Memphis, TN, 13-1; and Insulators of Nevada, 26-16 before the winners’ bracket final against Busch.
