Waltham Athletics 8, Boston Bombers 5
ATHLETICS WIN REGULAR SEASON FINALE
The Athletics would put their first 8 men on base in the 1st before the first out was retired, resulting in an early 7-1 lead over the Bombers. The Bombers would tally 3 in the 3d, primarily due to a Dziuba 2-run HR, to bring the score to 7-4. Brett OKeefe kept them at bay the rest of the came, finishing the CG and striking out 9.
Tapper (2-3, 2B, HR, 4 RBI) led the way for the A's at the plate, hitting a HR of his own for insurance in the 7th.
The Athletics end the season 13-8-1, and leap-frogged the Pirates for the 6 seed in the Championship tournament. They will face the #3 Boston Cardinals Sunday, Sept 11 at World Series Park.
The Bombers end the season 17-5 and will be the #1 overall seed, facing the winner of the Biston vs. Senators play-in game. |
