2007 Archives Boston All-Stars in 2007 For the first time in team history, Boston had three different players earn All-star awards in the 2007 season.  Luis Marquez was named to two offensive all-star teams for his first awards of his career.  He placed 2nd in Chicago by hitting .600 (12-20) and then hit .600 in the World Series (18-30) to tie for 4th in the entire World Series.  Luis is considered by many in the league as one of the up and coming stars of the sport.   Darren Black was named a defensive all-star in the Bolingbrook tournament by placing 6th in the tournament with 12 defensive stops in only 4 games.  This was Darren's fourth defensive all-star award in this tournament and his 7th award of his career making him the most "trophied" Renegade in team history. Joe Quintanilla earned the Offensive MVP of the 2007 Long Island Classic by leading all players with a .600 Average (9-15)  in this four team tournament.  He came into this tournament with this goal in mind and dedicated his performance to his father who was fighting cancer.    Renegades Take 2nd In Long Island Classic Boston continued their success with a 2nd place finish in the Long Island Classic at the end of June.  Boston won two out of three games and now stands at 4-3.  This is the first time Boston has ever been playing above .500 ball this late into the season.  In fact, the 4 wins match their season high previously established in the 2006 season.  Boston had wins over the Chicago Comet B team (15-13) and the Pennsylvania Wolfpack (5-2) and lost to the Long Island Bombers (10-7).  Long Island won the tournament (3-0), Boston finished 2nd (2-1), Pennslyvania (1-2) took 3rd and Chicago Comet B team finished 4th (0-3).  Boston continue to gather medals.  Joe Quintanilla batted .600 (9-15) leading all players in runs scored and batting average.  He was the Offensive MVP of the tournament.  This was Joe's first ever offensive award and the Renegades second in its franchise history.  Click here for Game Results Renegades Take 3rd in Bolingbrook The Boston Renegades started off their season with a bang in Boling brook with a 3rd place finish out of six teams.  This was Boston's best finish ever in the five years it has attended the tournament.  Boston got the party started by beating the Chicago Comet B team 11-4.  They then lost to Chicago's other half, the A team by the score of 12-5.  The Renegades then faced the Indianapolis Thunder, a team it had never defeated in five tries.  the Thunder had also placed 6th in the 2006 World Series.  This Time Boston brought the thunder as they rolled over Indy by the score of 13-7.  Boston finished the tournament by almost capping off an amzazing come from behind victory agsinst the Cleveland Scrappers.  Boston is a team that never quits and after falling behind 9-2 after three innings the home town club caught fire to take a 12-9 lead into the 6th inning.  Unfortunately, Boston was unable to hold the lead and dropped a heart breaker 13-12. This was the first time ever that Boston placed two players in a tournament all-star role.  Darren Black made his 4th defensive all-star team in Bolingbrook as he placed 6th in the tournament making 12 put-outs.  Luis Marquez made his first all-star team as he placed second in the tournament with a .600 batting average (12-20) off his pitcher, Ron Cochran.  These two players are pictured with their medals to the right Click here for Game Results 2006 Archives Boston Renegades Invade Fenway Park The Renegades were invited by the Red Sox to take part in pre game ceremonies at Fenway on August 16th, 2006 as part of disability awareness night.   The night included a tour of the green monster, lining up on the first base line for the national anthem and tickets to the game against the Detroit Tigers From left to Right: Row 1 sitting: Rob Weissman Row 2 Kneeling: Rick Myers, Steve Kasha, Bryan Grillo, Kae Rausch, Tom Walsh, Guy Zucarello, Kristen Kirk, Dino Vasile, Matt Nippins, Dan Cotter Row 3: Justin Manjourides Row 4 standing: Nick Bebas, Joe Quintanilla, Emily Snow, Joe O'Neill, Larry Haile, Sengil Inkiala, John Oliveira, Joey Buizon, Ron Cochran, Dave Fardo, Jason Lenicheck Boston's Garbage Man takes home the prize in every tournament in 2006 Darren Black made it a clean sweep in the World Series as he was named to the defensive all-star team in Chicago, New York and Cleveland in 2006.  In Chicago, Black made the all-star team for the 3rd consecutive year with 20 stops in 4 games.  This placed him fourth in the tournament.  His best game was against the Comet B where he made 9 put-outs.  In New York, there was no defensive all-star team...they simply named a defensive MVP.  Black won that honor setting the pace with 18 stops in 3 games.  Black haunted the Comet B team again with 8 put-outs as his best game of the tournament.  In the World Series, Black earned 5th on the defensive all-star team with 25 stops in 7 games.  His best perfromance was a 10 stop effort against the Pennsylvania Wolfpack.  Black is one of the hardest working defensive players in the game.  He relies heavily on his spotters and teammates.  Bryan Grillo and Justin Manjourides were the spotter tandem for every inning of play in 2006 and their hard work helped Black add three more all-star awards to bring his career total to six. 2006 World Series (Played August 2nd -5th) A new format in the World Series seeded all of the 15 teams.  Boston entered the tournament as the 12 seed with a goal of improving their seed for 2007.  After playing seven games in some very tough conditions, Boston finished in 10th place, its best finish ever.  Below is a list of the teams which competed in the World Series.  The first column shows their seed and the second column shows their finish.  Teams with a * next to them played the Renegades in the 2006 World Series.
