Smalltown Fastpitch captures invite title

Smalltown Fastpitch of Benton Harbor beat the Munger Firemen 3-2 in the championship game of this weekend's Rich Plangger Fastpitch Invitational.

The game was a rematch of last year's Class D state championship, also won by Smalltown Fastpitch.

Browning Chabot was the winning pitcher, throwing a four-hitter with five strikeouts. Robby Prenkert's RBI single in the top of the seventh inning drove in Brent Chabot with the winning run.

Smalltown was 4-1 in the tournament, losing to Munger in a pool play game on Saturday.

The team won its other two pool play games to advance to Sunday's single elimination round.

Smalltown beat the Goshen Gators 3-2 in one semifinal and Munger beat DC Current of Bremen, Ind., in the other semifinal.

Rich Plangger and his son Rick were honored for their long time contribution to local fastpitch softball.
