Tigers win the Bay State title and advance to the Franchise's first MABL Championship thanks to the veteran pitching of Houlding and the patient and skilled hitting of the Offense. JP scored the first run as he walked, stole second, and scored on a Morgan single to center. The Astros scored 1 in the 2nd on a Dowling 3B and 'Cupe 1B, but the Tigers answered on a Silk 1B, and 3 BB. The Tigers scored 2 more in the 4th that would prove to be necessary insurance as 'Speedy' Dan Field (lookin' good dimer!) celebrated the New Year with a lead off 2B followed by a couple of errors and RBI ground outs. Houlding limited the 'Stros to 4 hits, but the Astros would battle back in the 6th and 7th as Byrne homered to left, Walsh scored on a Vernon 3B then scored on a groundout. However Wlodarczyk was able to close the door on a comeback with a 1-out save to secure the Divison Title. Congrats to Tyler and the Stros on a great series and season

Gib had the GWRBI on a BB scoring Morgan who had singled to get things started. The Astros meanwhile were unable to get a man past 2nd as RW dominated through 6 with 3 1-2-3 innings and striking out the side in the 5th. Scotty Stevens knocked Harvey from the game in the 6th with a 4,000 ft. HR to right that may still be going as it was hit so far it got stuck in a passing 747. The Tigers also played error-free ball with some very nice plays and look to close out the series in Game 3.

Tigers take Game 1 on an awesome pitching performance from Chad Griffiths, as he was thrust into action at the last minute yet allowed just 3 hits over 6 innings, throwing only 65 pitches for the win. The Astros got on the board first as Clarahan led off with a double and scored on a deep fly ball by Ballas that was chased down by Feliciano. Ricupero scored on a couple of errors in the 3rd, but that would be it for the Astros as CG and Copson combined to shut 'em down the rest of the way. Meanwhile the Tigers O stayed hot as they scored 3 in the first on 2 BB and 2 H, including a 2B by Morgan (2-3, 3RBI). They scored twice more before tacking 4 on the board in the 6th on 4H and a BB, including a Murphy shot to CF that fell but was called a catch, confusing everyone, then Morgan roped one to RF that turned into a marathon - "Do you want to score?" "Not really..." That would be all for the scoring and the game.

The Tigers advance to the division series behind the arms of Griffiths, Wlodarczyk and Copson. The Tigers would get all the runs they needed in the 1st. Taking advantage of a Pane BB and JP HBP, Morgan laced a ball up the middle scoring Pane for the first run. Morgan would then use his "wheels" to record his 1st SB of the season, as JP scored what would be the GW run on the catcher's overthrow. Griffiths held the Senators to one run through 3 innings, until they threatened in the 4th on a BB and 2B with no outs. On just 2 days rest, Wlodarczyk got the call and pitched valiantly, getting the Tigers out of the jam, allowing just one hit in 3 innings of work, earning his 2nd W in the series. Insurance runs would come in the 3rd, 4th and 6th for Copson to close it out in the 7th. The Tigers move on to play the Stros in the Bay State division series.
