Hits and Misses

HIT: The Auburn Doubledays have won yet another Pinckney Division championship this year. The team clinched the title with a victory Friday night.

Special accolades certainly must go to the Doubledays#' manager, Dennis Holmberg. Year after year, Holmberg produces successful teams for Auburn. Such a track record in the minor leagues is nothing short of remarkable, because the team's personnel changes radically year after year. That means the manager must mold a new group of players into a cohesive unit on an annual basis - there is little momentum from the year before.

Holmberg is simply one of the best minor-league managers there is.
