In one of the most memorable championship series you could witness, this one went to the wire. Jays lead 1-0 in a pitchers duel with solid D from both sides. The Spinners come back and plate 2 in the 6th to take a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the 6th Jays leave runners on 2nd and 3rd. Move to the bottom of the 7th; Jake Stewart, Dakota Happas and Eddie Pickett hit 3 consecutive single to load the bases with no outs. Dana Levensaler hits a sack fly to tie it. Runners on 1st and 2nd, Rob Linn hits a grounder to 2nd and Spinners try to turn 2, Linn barely beats the throw to first. Happas never stops coming around from second and beats the throw to the plate and the Jays score 2 in the bottom 7th for the walk off win. An unbelievable finish to a great 2010 season. Stephen Shortle goes the distance to pick up the win. We will utter the 2 words we have said all year: HEY JAYS!

Jays bats wake up after being handle by the Spinners pitching staff over the weekend. They put up 11 runs on 9 hits, 6 walks and 5 hit batters. The Spinners have hit an amazing 15 Jay hitters over the course of these 4 games. Dakota Happas and Kevin Bell had 2 hits each and were on base 3 times while Eddie Pickett led the way going 2-2 with 2 HBP to reach base all 4 times and driving in 3. KBell also stole 2 bases and went the distance on the hill. Big play in the middle innings of a close game; Jays have bases loaded and Colin Confoey connects with a 3 run triple. The conclusion of a hard fought series is sure to be exciting and in the immortal words of Jack Buck after Kirby Puckett's homer in game 6 of the 91 world series "we'll see ya tomorrow night"!

Spinners take game 2 behind a great pitching performance by Brennan. Game 2 saw Spinners work horse Kevin Brennan taking on Cy Young winner Kyle Buika. The Spinners came out aggressive putting 2 runs up in the 1st on RBIs by O.Caceres and Brennan. The Spinners would give the Jays 2 runs back in the 2nd on three costly errors. But the Spinners would stay one step ahead of the Jays as they tried to battle back. In the 5th, Mori hits a huge triple and would later score the go ahead run on a Walsh sac fly. Spinners aggressiveness at the plate pays off as they had 10 hits on the day. Brennan was the headliner of the game, as he has been all year for the Spinners. He contributed at the plate with 2 RBIs and finished the game on the mound letting up only 4 hits, no BB and 1 earned run. Mori led the offense going 3-4 w/ a triple and a SB. Game 4 TBD

Spinners tie the series at a game a piece. Happas pitched 9 innings of solid baseball. Through 9 innings Happas only walked 1 batter. Casey struggled the first few innings hitting 4 batters but then settled down and got into his "zone". With the Spinners down a run in the 7th, pinch hitter Rick Scalzo hits a triple to right field. He would tie the game up on a Megadesian single. In the bottom of the 9th Nick Bonard stepped to the plate with 2 outs and the bases loaded. Bonard would get his 5th hit of the game with a line drive to left field that scored the tieing and winning run. Bonard had a finals game to remember going 5-5. Casey improves to 3-0 in the playoffs. Game 3 tomorrow at Ryan Field. Expecting another sold out game.

With Buika and Bell needing more rest the Jays turned to right fielder Dana Levensaler for game 1, his first career start as a Jay. Early on the Spinners threaten. 1st & 2nd, 1 out, a liner to center where Ed Pickett was playing due to Confoey's suspension. Pick charges in to make the catch & doubles the runner off second to end the rally. The Spinners did break the ice first scoring on a wild pitch. The Jays answer with a 3 spot. Taking advantage of 4 hit batters & getting enough hits when they needed them to go up 6-1. Rob Linn led the offense going 2-3, 3 RBI that included a key 2 run single down the 3B line. With the exception or 1 or 2 balls, the Jays play solid D behind Levensaler including a few himself on the mound. He would go the distance striking out 3 & walking just 1. Jays lead the series 1-0. Game 2 Saturday at 2pm in Charlestown. There will be no blackout as tickets are sold out for this event.

Summary | Box Score Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E Blue Jays x x x x x x x 13 0 0 Cutters x x x x x x x 3 0 0

Jays take series 3-1 with an impressive 13-3 win missing their lead off hitter, 2 hitter, and cleanup hitter. On top of those 3 players not being in attendance having center fielder getting ejected on the first play of the game. Steve Shortle went the distance and had solid D behind him. The Cutters hit some balls hard that the Jays outfield pulled in and Ryan "Gags" scooped a few at first. Every Jays starter had a hit or reached base at least once. Nich "Baby" Bland led the way going 3-3 with a walk and a pair of bomb doubles. Bere, Thomas and Stewart all had multi hit games. Hats off to the Cutters who are right there every year and Jay "Wiz" for going out and taking the ball again as he probably leads Boston amateur pitchers in appearances every year. Jays take on a tough Spinners team in the finals who are the last thing in the way of the team's preseason goal.

Brennan threw a complete game, 3 hit, 1 walk, 1 run gem. At the plate he went 1-3 with a double and 2 RBI. Brennan didn't do it alone though, the fielding behind him was great! From 1 through 9, the hitting stepped it up. 100% total team effort to advance to the MABL Finals to play the Blue Jays.

Spinners take Game 2 behind the arm of Randy Casey. Spinners scored 4 in the first, 1 run came on a double by Steve Walsh. Spinners would strand a lot of runners but 4 runs would be enough behind the arm of Casey. Casey pitched 7 innings, letting up 4 hits, walking 3 and having 5 Ks. The Tigers CF, Silk, had a great diving web gem doubling up the runner at second and getting the Tigers out of a bases loaded jam. Game 3 Tuesday night in Cambridge.
