Game 6: Two starters enter, only one leaves

Game 6 of the Cecil Cup was the Tale of Two Starters. For the Brick Barracudas, Joshua Stoker got the ball. For the home team, the Seattle Monarchs, down three games to two and facing elimination, Chris Williams started the game with a scoreless first inning, striking out the side around a one-out walk.

In the bottom of the first, Stoker ran into trouble: Ground out, walk, single, walk, sacrifice fly, walk, walk (that's three runs in already, two of them walked in), grand slam home run, and single. By the time Stoker handed the ball to the manager for Derek Hanson to take over, the Monarchs had batted around and were up 6-0.

Seattle's Williams cruised the rest of the way, giving up only three hits and one walk as he struck out ten in a complete game 8-1 victory.

Game seven, the final game of the 2028 season, and the final game simmed in OOTP 15 (have you bought OOTP 17 yet?) will happen on Tuesday night. After that, we'll move along quickly to get our new London owner, Larry Merrifield, up to speed.

Good luck to Fred and Mack tomorrow!
