The Blind Guy wins CLCF Cal Ripken AAA Championship

Winning the championship is hard enough but winning 18 games in a row is outstanding and almost impossible, said coach Al Travieso.

Towards the end of June, after finishing off the regular season in first place with a 15-0 record in their division, The Blind Guy Window Treatment (team formally CBiz Tofias 2012 and 2013) won the CLCF Cranston Cal Ripken Baseball 2014 AAA Championship for the third year in a row with a win over TyBren Lawn Care 5-2 at Bain's Ricci field to end an incredible season with an 18-0 record.  

Winning the championship is hard enough but winning 18 games in a row is outstanding and almost impossible, said coach Al Travieso.

Tybren Lawn Care got on the scoreboard first with two runs in the top of the first inning. The Blind Guy answered back in the bottom of the first inning with a run after Myles Chung walked and Andrew Travieso hit an RBI double to make it 2-1 after one inning.

In the bottom of the fourth inning pitcher, Andrew Travieso got the call to relieve Alex Marot, who had started and pitched the first three innings for TBG and after that the team never looked back.
