You could hear the cheering all over Selmer as the Jackhammers secured the final out of a 12-3 win over the Tamaqua Pickets to capture the 2007 MLB Double A Championship Series 3-1. It was the 1st time in the team's history to win it.
"The Pickets are a good ballclub," said the winning skipper, "We had to play at our best to beat them."
"Anytime you make big plays, it changes the momentum of the game," the losing manager said. "The Jackhammers made 'em and we didn't -- end of story."
During the season the new champs compiled a 73-47 record in the Sub League 1 and finished in first place in the standings. |

5 hits in a game doesn't happen every day. Selmer's Josh Wilson had a very special day against the Navahos when everything came together for him and he did just that -- collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats -- and led the Selmer Jackhammers to a 11-1 win at Jackhammers Ballpark.
"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Wilson said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats today. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."
J. Wilson hit an RBI triple in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off J. Anderson in the 9th.
