The Seattle Monarchs outlasted the Maui Mashers winning Game 3 of the series 1-0 in 13 innings.
Starter Nicholas Vargas pitched eight scoreless innings for the Monarchs, striking out five and not even allowing a single Masher to reach third base. Anibal Ottman matched Vargas goose egg for goose egg. Both bullpens continued shutting down the opponents' bats until Bas Bijerk finally managed to drive in a run with an RBI single in the top of the 13th.
The Amigos only needed nine innings to beat the River Cities Sternwheelers by a score of 3-1. The Amigos scored two in the first on a home run by Bruce Frison. River Cities managed to push a run across the plate in the third on a Thomas Geter RBI single. Saskatoon added one more run in the third on a single, wild pitch and single.
Game 4: Tuesday evening.
This is just painful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting game. Tremendous pitching. There weren't even very many good opportunities for either team to score.
ReplyDeleteOne heck of a series so far.
By the way, neither team has hit a home run yet in the Maui-Seattle series. That's pretty wild.
ReplyDeleteYeah, other than the duelling 7 run games this has been a pitching-oriented playoff season.
ReplyDeleteAll-pitching, no-offense? Wow, too bad Los Angeles didn't make it, after all.
