Indians 9, Netherfield Reds 3
The Indians blasted their way back into the series with a big 9-3 win over the Reds. Jeff James was at the top of his game on the mound, picking up the complete game victory. Up 6-3 with two on and one out in the fifth, James showed some veteran poise inducing Steve Corda into a fly ball out (after falling behind 3-0) and then striking out Ramos to get out of the jam.
Mike Kiely and Greg Bennett provided most of the offense for the Indians as they both had 2 hits and 3 RBI. Pete John knocked in two of the three runs for the Reds with a triple, and Tony Ramos played outstanding D behind the plate, throwing out 3 would-be base stealers. |

White Sox 11, Mariners 3
Once again, the White Sox bats did the job in a game 2 to complete the sweep as each Sox starter had at least 1 hit. With the win the Sox clinch the Atlantic Conference and head back to MABL Finals to defend their title.
Will Bissonette (2 for 2, 3B, 3R, 2RBI) got things going for the Sox with a triple in the 1st. Jason Hoye (2 for 4, 2RBI) then quickly drove him home to put the Sox up 1. After the LaPointe and Limoges doubles tied things up in the bottom of the 1st, the Sox struck right back for 4 runs keyed agains by Biss and Hoye RBIs. Then, the Sox exploded for 6 in the 4th to put things away. The big inning was led off by a Villalobos double and the big hit was a 2 RBI triple of the bat of Dave Martin who picked up the win on the mound.
The relief was solid for both teams as Minns and LoPresti combined for 3 shutout innings for the Sox. Taylor for the Mariners yielded only 1ER over the last 3 and a third. |

 |
| Biss and Felix were a comined 4 for 4 with a triple, double, 2RBI, 3BB and 5 runs scored |

For the Sox, Bissonette (2 for 4, 2B, R), Martin (2 for 4, 2R, 2SB), and Carroll (2 for 2, BB, SB, R) each had a multi-hit game. For the Mariners, Limoges (2 for 4, RBI) and LaPointe (2 for 4, 2 RBI) were the bulk of the offense. |

Netherfield Reds 6, Indians 1
Chris Allen led the Reds to a huge victory over the Indians. Allen pitched the complete game, while also showing his catlike reflexes defensively on the mound. The Reds infield also helped out with some huge plays to get out of jams against a potent tribe lineup.
Daryl Pina had a gutsy performance on the mound, pitching on 2 days rest.
The Reds offense was led by Steve Corda who notched four hits total while driving in a few. |

Mariners 7, Cutters 6
With 2 outs and 1 on in the top of the 7th, trailing the Cutters 6-1, it looked like time was about to run out on this Cinderella. But then the unthinkable happened. With their backs against the wall, the M's strung together 7 straight hits to wrestle the lead away from the Cutters, 7-6. All that remained was to stop the potent Cutters offense in the bottom half.
EJ Freni entered the 7th looking for his second consecutive postseason complete game. The first hitter, Ned Coffee, reached by error, advancing to second on the overthrow. Freni then got the next two hitters out, leaving it up to Greg Crossman. Crossman ripped a laser that was snagged by M's first baseman Justin Brinkmeyer for the game's final out.
The game was a fitting end to a hard fought series. The Cutters played hard all series, competing with tremendous class. As for the Mariners, this Cinderella is planning to stay and dance a little longer. |

   |
| EJ pitches the M's into the conference finals, Sal drives in the tying and go-ahead runs; Kilduff was brilliant through 6. |

Mariners 1, Cutters 0
The Mariners turned to Josh Abreu with their backs against the wall, an infielder who had never thrown a pitch in his BMBL career. Abreu went the distance, picking up the win and allowing only 4 hits to the league's top offense. The Cutters' Matthew Chasse was equally brilliant, surrending a first inning run then shutting out the M's the rest of the way.
The M's Frank Rich, who led off the first inning with a double, scored the game's only run on an RBI single by Jeff Rausch. |

   |
| Abreu dazzles and Rausch stays hot with the bat; Chasse suffers tough luck loss. |

Indians 2, Tigers 0
For the second time in three days, Daryl Pina shut out the Tigers to win the series for the Indians. Pina struck out four and allowed just three hits.
The Indians got all they'd need in the first as Marco Abreu knocked in Kevin Faria and Charlie Engasser followed with a double to score Abreu.
The Tigers made it interesting in the top of the 7th by loading the bases with one out, but Abreu connected with Engasser to force an out at home, and then parted the masses to catch a foul ball to seal the W.
Brian Houlding pitched well in defeat for the Tigers. Congrats to the Tigers for a great series and season. |

The White Sox completed the series sweep against the Marlins in convincing fashion as they scored 4 in the first and never looked back. Ivan Clemente scored five runs from the leadoff spot while going 2 for 3 with a double and 3 HBPs. Will Bissonette was also swinging a hot stick going 3 for 3 with 3 walks and 3 runs scored. Biss also had a very busy day in the field with 8 assists and 3 put outs.
Tom Spoth (2 for 4, 5RBI) and Jason Hoye (3 for 5, 4 RBI) were the reason for most of the runs as they drove in 9 runs between them. Hoye added a terrific diving grab in the 3rd to rob Katz of a hit.
On the mound Dave Martin pitched a solid 5 innings. Dave yielded only 2 hits and 1 unearned run while picking up the W for the Sox. Matt LoPresti and Matt Smith each threw and inning to close things out for the Sox.

Tigers 3, Indians 1
The Tigers stayed alive thanks to a gem from Nate Pane and some timely hitting from the heart of the order. Pane took a perfect game into the 4th, and ended up losing the shutout on an unearned run in the 7th, finishing with 3K, 0BB, and just 4 hits on 76 pitches (57 strikes).
Pane also did a number with the bat, sac bunting the first run to third before Murphy's sac fly, and scoring the winning run in the 5th on Stevens' clutch 2-strike hit to right. Belcastro picked up the other RBI on another nice piece of hitting, fighting off a James fastball in to RF. Matt Giblin also had an excellent game with 2 singles, 1R, and 6 assists at SS.
Jeff James pitched well, striking out 5, but took the tough loss. The Tigers victory forces game 3, sure to be another exciting match up... |
