Filby Takes Title in “Hit Off”
Helmer a close second.
Miami, FL – September 16, 2012 – Kevin “Flip“ Filby is the Champion off the 2012 Stadium Power Tour.
The Team DeMarini pro topped Easton’s Brett “The Hitman“ Helmer in a dramatic one on one “hit off” in Miami.
Filby and Helmer were tied with 11 points after their 15 swings. Helmer went first in the “hit off” and was shy of the outfield wall. Filby took the next pitch and sent it into the upper deck of the Marlins ballpark and it was time for “Flip” to celebrate. “I’m about a foot off the ground, the feeling of being champion has not yet hit me. I want to call my dad and then look out South Beach, we are going to have some fun.”
Easton’s Brett Helmer, has high praise for the new champ. “Filby has a bright future, and a bold swing, I tip my cap to him. But all the Bombers hit well today. Crine, Powers, McCraw and my Easton Teammate Brian Wegman, they all murdered the ball.“
The Miami fans were treated to some serious show bombs. Many upper deck blasts and plenty of Evil Softball Souvenirs for the fans. The site of the Stadium Power Tour was the new Miami Marlins ballpark. It’s the newest park in the bigs and one of most exciting. With a retractable roof an aquarium behind home plate and even a Bobblehead Museum.
