Steel City Enforcers
Latest Tournament Report:
Tied for 9th in Va. Beach.

In 2008:
In 07, after an impressive 4th place finish in Virginia Beach (wins against perennial powerhouses Dirty Jersey and the Bluegrass Lawmen) the SCE were a disappointment in Montgomery County, and Sterling Heights. 2008 OUTLOOK: The team is hoping to have a more satisfying season and finishing in the East Rankings Top 10. They will be stabilized by a strong core of veterans Jim Fleckenstein, Brad Martin, Ron Griffin & Erik Fisher. Jordan Seese will leadoff, combining exceptional speed and power from his 265 pound frame and continue to be a cornerstone in the outfield. Tom Gault will anchor the hot corner and Mike Gay will assume the pitching duties once again. A pivotal piece of the mystery surrounding which SCE team will show up, is the recruiting duties of Head Skipper Ed Polly. Polly has been in the ear of a few promising young rookies just added to the Pittsburgh Police in the last eighteen months. Polly is hoping to land solid commitments from Matt O'Brien, Matt! Malloy, Ricky Ewing and Lee Myers to solidify the team youth movement. Polly is also hopeful that Brian Martin, a recent academy graduate, will follow in the footsteps of his father, Brad. Veteran officer Jamie Catarino, one of the better players in the Pittsburgh area, is on a new shift and has given the verbal "I'll be there this year". Catarino is possibly the one of the fastest outfielders on the circuit and can get hot and bat .900 in a tourney. Time will tell. The same goes for Mark Kowaleski, who by all accounts has finally plugged his ears and nose and blew his head out of his ass and will be back to the form that makes him a homerun threat every time he steps to the plate. His versatility at either infield or outfield makes him a valuable asset. But make no mistake that the success of the squad will be the core. Fisher, the most stable and consistent infielder the team has will be counted on heavily to provide power and RBI's. Fleckenstein, the best hitter on the team will be asked to do the same this year. Simply put, bat .800 every tourney and play the line, neutralizing the oppositions best hitters. Martin & Griffin are getting up in years and their ability to stay healthy can be an issue. But their bats are needed and platooning along with Stephen Matakovich at D/H, Catcher, and 1st base will be a necessity not an option. John McCue's power and Nick Bobbs aggressive base running and speed will be major fill ins to enhance the team. If all the pieces fall into place, The Steel City Enforcers will be a force to reckon with in the East Coast, and try and make some noise in California, at The World Series. If not, they will again be the team of old, injured guys who try to hang in each tournament, one game at a time.

Summary
Tournaments Hosted
Pittsburgh does not have a multi-plex softball complex for adults. That will change when one of us hits the powerball.
How We Beat You
By playing our game. That is consistent hits, mixed in with a little bit of power, and solid defense up the middle, and zero mental errors. We are not always the best players, but we play our best always.
How You Beat Us
Wear us down. We usually have 11 or twelve guys at a time, and a tournament kills us physically.
Team Highlight
Placing 4th at Virginia Beach this year. This was our fourth tournament. Beating Dirty Jersey and Bluegrass Lawmen, knowing their reputations as two of the best teams in the East Coast was a big uplift.
Team Lowlight
Watching the G-Boys bat around three times in the first inning and putting up 26 runs. I have never seen a hitting display like that in almost 25 years of softball.
Goals
Be competitive and play hard. We know that we are not the best team. But if you beat the teams you should and throw in an upset here and there, you're in the top five. We want to be labeled as a team that fights hard and does not make alot of mistakes.
