Mets Win Casey Classic Championship

Labor Day Weekend 2008 was a weekend that will live in the minds of New Mexico players for a long time. The Casey Classic Baseball Tournament was hosted in Albuquerque, New Mexico in honor of fallen NM MABL player Germaine Casey . Casey was a former player of the New Mexico Mets. Bret Helenius, Tournament Director, brought the tournament together with teams from around the country, with the championship game being held at Isotopes Park, home of the AAA Florida Marlins. So, it was fitting that the Mets won the MABL Regional Tournament in thrilling fashion over the Cardinals 24-12. The Mets got through the semi-final against the Brewers by one run with the winning run for the Brewers getting thrown out at the plate twice in the seventh inning.
