1995
The Lumberjacks along with the Albany-Colonie Diamond Dogs, Mohawk Valley Land Sharks, Newburgh Night Hawks, Sullivan Mountain Lions, and the Yonkers Hoot Owls form the Northeast League.
The 'Jacks' last game
The Lumberjacks' final game in Glens Falls was the fifth and deciding game of the Northern League East Championship series, against the New Jersey Jackals. The Lumberjacks led the game, 2-1, going into the ninth inning, but starter Denny Lail put the first batter, Jackal outfielder Billy Rich, on base with a walk. After closer D.J. Johnson came in, another walk was issued to Jackals catcher Mikaela Dworken. After an out was recorded on an attempted sacrifice bunt by Jackal Craig Conway (who reached first as the lead runner was thrown out at third), Johnson walked utilityman Billy Brown to load the bases. After getting Chas Terni, the Jackals' star second baseman, to strike out, Johnson got first baseman Dave Callahan down to the Jackals' last strike before Callahan hit a bases-clearing double, giving the Jackals a 4-2 lead which they would not relinquish.
