| Team Summaries | Reds Notes: The regular season NOLL Division winners completed a successful playoff run with 5-3 victory over the Cubbies, the top seed from SOLL. It was a classic pitchers dual as Kevin R. and closer Lucas F. held the Cubbies to two hits while striking out 11 batters. Cubbies hurler, Carl M., pitched a super game and held the Reds bats in check for much of the game. Yet, the Reds were able to put the ball in play and scratched out 5 runs over 4 seperate innings. A long double from Lucas gave the Reds a 1-0 advantage after 3 innings. The Cubbies answered with 3 runs of their own in the top of the fourth with the help of just one infield hit. The Reds answered in the bottom of the 4th with 1 of their own on the heels of a base hit and some aggressive base running from Ben Z. to close the gap to 3-2. In the bottom of the 5th the Reds tied the game on a base hit from Jon C. who later came around and scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch to give the Reds a 4-3 lead. Reds lefty, Keith H. continued to pound the ball and collected his second hit in the bottom of the 6th inning and scored on a grounder from Kenny P. to complete the scoring. In a display of excellent Reds pitching the Cubbies did not hit a ball into the outfield during the game. Catcher Ben Z. continued hit streak of assists and other solid defensive plays were turned in by the infield of Andrew C., Keith, Lucas, Kevin and Jon. This marks the end of the NOLLSOLL Senior American Championship Series. The Reds have obtained the elusive Holy Grail of North Oakland Baseball and have been rumored to be the winners of the unheard of 'triple crown' (Season Division Winner, Tournament Winner, and N1 vs S1 Final). A super season that was a ton of fun, with lots of good baseball! We'll see you on the Diamond! Cubbies Notes: |
