1988 ASA Industrial Men’s Major Slow Pitch Nationals

1988 held at Lakeland, Florida.


Champion – Publix, Lakeland, Florida
Runner Up – Sikorsky Aircraft, Stratford, Connecticut


Publix went through the winners bracket undefeated (6-0), they beat Sikorsky 21-16 in the winner’s bracket semi-final on the strength of Jeff Woodward’s 3 home runs and 6 RBI. They then defeated General Dynamics of Sterling Heights, MI 6-4 in the winner’s bracket final. Then sat back as Sikorsky defeated General Dynamics 21-15 in the losers bracket final in a game called by rain in the 7th inning. The rains continued to the point where the fields were unplayable. They even tried to reschedule it later in the day, but to no avail, so Publix, by virtue of being the only undefeated team was named the National Champion. Sikorsky was the Runner-up and General Dynamics was third. The win was a total team effort for Publix as Dan Roberts, the leading hitter for Publix batted .600. Jody Perryman (.588), Woodward (.583), Clyde Chenault (.583) and shortstop Dave Gartell (.565). These were the only players over .500.

1981 ASA Industrial Men’s Major Slow Pitch Nationals

1981 tournament site unknown


Champion – Raffield Fisheries, Port St. Joe, Florida
Runner Up – Avco-Lycoming, Stratford, Connecticut


Raffield went undefeated to capture its first Industrial National Championship. They beat defending champion, Sikorsky 16-7 and then Avco-Lycoming 5-3 in the winners bracket final to ensure themselves a spot in the championship. It was Avco-Lycoming who emerged from the losers bracket to challenge Raffield for the title. The Raffield squad once again proved they were no fluke as they beat former two time national champ Avco-Lycoming 14-9. Bill Dodson, Brian Baxley and Jerry Guilford all had 3 hits in the game to lead the Raffield offense, with one of Guilford’s hits being a homer. The team went 6-0 and only surrendered 31 runs. In a ironic twist, Raffield has won their regional championship the last 8 years in a row and only came as close as fourth in the national, this year they failed to win their regional, but ended up winning the National. Kenny Haddock was the MVP as he batted .615 and sparkled in the field.
