100 Innings of Baseball Spectacular, Curt's Pitch for ALS

Saturday April 16, 9:00 a.m. through Sunday April 17, 4:00 p.m. -- 31 straight hours
Campanelli Stadium -- Brockton, MA

Team Marciano 88, Team Hagler 79

100 Innings of Baseball Spectacular 2005 The BMBL again held the 100 Innings of Baseball Spectacular and raised $109,000 for Curt’s Pitch for ALS and the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease - this year at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, MA, home of the Brockton Rox.

The White Sox raised more money than any other of the 50 teams in the BMBL, and also had 5 players play the entire 100 innings, including co-creators Brett Rudy and Mike Lembo, as well as Matt Giblin, Ryan Gray and Nate Pane. Lembo was also the winning pitcher of record, as he was pitching in the 44th inning when Team Marciano took a lead they would not relinquish. Equally as fitting, Brett Rudy caught the game's final out by grabbing a fly ball hit to left field to end the 100th inning.


Of note, rookie Matt LoPresti absorbed 18 innings, leading all pitchers. White Sox players Al Wiesner, Scott Reinold, Ivan Clemente and Brian Houlding also played in the game.

Here's what Curt Schilling had to say:

“On behalf of Shonda and myself, we want to take the time to thank you all for your efforts in once again making the 100 Innings of Baseball Spectacular a huge success. We want you to know that we sincerely appreciate you all putting your weekend on hold and your bodies on the line to get together for such an amazing purpose, though I must say, you guys who played all 100 Innings must be a little crazy!

In just two years time, this event is responsible for raising over $200,000 that will go directly toward helping patients and families that are battling with ALS. It is through the generosity, hard work, and creativity of people like yourselves that we are able to slowly and surely get closer to the light at the end of the tunnel and ultimately eliminate this horrible disease. We wish you all good luck with your upcoming season and thank you again from the bottom of our heart.”
