By RICHARD A. ROSS

NARROWSBURG, NY - Call them familiar foes, but somehow this time of year, the best action in the South Division of the Babe Ruth Teener’s League always seems to center on battles between the Tusten Chiefs and the ReMax Renegades.

Meeting for the second and final time of the regular season on July 2, the stakes were high as the onset of the July 6 playoffs loomed. The Renegades sported an impressive 14-1 record coming into this game. Their only loss, a 7-2 defeat, came at the hands of their old nemesis, the Chiefs, on June 19. Despite beating the league’s best team in the Renegades, the Chiefs had struggled of late, losing a pair of games to the Wallenpaupack Indians on June 22 and to the Wallenpaupack A’s on July 1.
