Seattle, Brick Take Game One

The Brick Barracudas took Game One of their playoff series against Antelope Valley today, with a 7-1 victory over the Raptors.

Brick put the game out of reach early with a four-run third inning, on the strength of four hits and a hit-by-pitch.  They might have scored more runs that inning had not Javier Chalen been caught stealing for the third out.  For Brick, starter Joseph Brown pitched five and a third innings of one-run ball, with Joan Palha and Hector Estrada closing the the door on the Raptor hitters with three and a third innings of no-hit ball.

In the nightcap, it was a pitcher's duel between Seattle's Bruno Talamantez and London's Jack Kaiser.  Both allowed a run in the first and Kaiser allowed two more to score in the second.  After that, he settled down and finished the game with no additional runs, but the damage was done as Talamantez went the next seven innings without allowing a run and handing it off to Juan Garcia to finish the game.

Game Two: Monday night.
