Cutters win game 4 and the Championship behind the arms of Matt Richard and Adam Del Rio and bat of Steve Corda. It was however was the Cutters infield defense that made the difference converting three double plays and turning four or five hits into outs. This is the Cutters 2nd Championship in the last 3 years. Del Rio earns the Finals MVP going 1-0 over 8.1 scoreless innings while batting a solid .417. The spectacular up-the-middle defense of AJ Buccarelli and John Kostas was one of the difference maker all series long. Congratulations to the White Sox for a hard fought series.

Mike Morgan was the Sox offensive playoff MVP, collecting 14 hits, 4 doubles and a triple, while batting .400 and driving in 13 runs. Ivan Clemente hit .343 with 12 hits, 2 doubles, 7 RBI, 9 runs and 6 steals in the playoffs. Anthony Tomaro was 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in 21 playoff innings. He also hit .318. Matt O'Hara was 1-0 with 2 saves and 0.81 ERA out of the pen. On a personal note, it was a great pleasure to manage the White Sox the last 2 years. Jon Naumowicz and Matt O'Hara will be taking over the team next year. I want to acknowledge Kevin Beliveau, who is retiring after one of the greatest careers in MABL history spanning over 15 years. One of the best players and best people this league will ever see.
