In their 3rd attempt in a week, the White Sox finally prevailed as MABL Champions, their first time achieving the feat. Dave Martin was masterful on the mound, tossing a complete game and allowing just 3 hits. Offensively, the White Sox exploded from the get-go. Al Wiesner led off the game with a single and scored. Will Bissonnette was hit by a pitch and Nate Pane walked, and they both scored off some Reds miscues. The Sox just continued to pound, chasing starter Chris Allen out of the game in the 4th inning with a 5-0 lead. The Sox smashed out 6 more runs off 6 hits in the 6th inning and another run for good measure in the 7th inning. The White Sox joined the league in 1994, and this marked their first time as MABL Champions. The longest wait for a Sox ring: Brett Rudy (11 years, since 1995), Al Wiesner (5 years, since 2001) and Mike Lembo (4 years, since 2000). Cap tipped to the Reds for a great series.

The Astros snatched victory from almost certain defeat tonight at Fallon Field and sent this Bay State Conference Final to game 3. With nobody on and two out in the bottom of the seventh the 'stros were down by two. Tim Clark reached on a hard hit ball that made it through the first baseman. Then Tony Ricupero sent a base hit up the middle to get Clark to second. Then Sean Dowling launched a triple deep into the gap in left center to tie the game at 5. Two walks later (Mike Vernon and an IBB to Rich Newman) and the bases were loaded for Ron Viola. With two strikes, Viola hit one hard into the hole. Sean Magee made a great play to even get to the ball let alone field it and make a throw, but Viola beat it by a step or two and the heart attack 'stros had the win. Sean Kennedy and Chris Allen started and each got a ND. Mike Vernon picked up the win with two innings of relief while Carlos Mejia took the loss.

The 'stros won game three by a 6-1 score over the Senators. Eric Harvey led the way with an economical complete game performance. The middle of the stros lineup did the damage. Jamie Manciocchi, Mike Vernon, and Rich Newman all hit the ball hard and the stros defense was solid until Newman threw one almost as far as he hit one. The Astros move on to face the Reds in a best of three series beginning Friday night at Ryan field. The Senators played a gutsy series and Dave Timmons should win manager of the year for what he did with a first year team, talented though they are. Congratulations to all the Senators on a great season.

Brian Houlding pitched the White Sox back to a 1-1 series tie versus the Rangers, allowing just 1 hit going into the 7th inning. In the first two innings, Kyle Michaud already had a pair of sacrifice flies that would give the Sox all the runs they would need. Yet, with the Sox leading 5-0 going into the 7th inning, the Rangers rallied. Chad Besegai reached on error to lead off the inning, followed by O'Donnell, Bristol and Bradesca singles. So with the bases leaded, the tying run at the plate and zero outs, Houlding fought back to retire the next 3 batters and secure the win. White Sox offense was led by Nate Pane who slugged a pair of triples and Dave Martin also ripped a pair of RBI singles. Shane Steffens started for the Rangers and went 3 innings to take the loss. Keith Umlauf pitched the final 3 frames for the Rangers.
