Fans showed their support for the 59ers in mid-summer conditions.  Over 8,000 fans watched the three title games Saturday, 6-20-2009. Niner boys, including catcher Kevin Franchetti, left, hold up the big state championship trophy. (All photos by Mark Smith)
The 59er football team tried to beat the heat and support the baseball team at the same time. Mike Pokers talks about his inside-the-park home run after the game. Pokers (31 of 95) batted .327 for the season.

Former Hanover Central coach Al Myskowski (14) was the pitching coach for Andrean this season as the 59ers won 31 games in a row.
