The Saskatoon Amigos took a commanding 3-0 lead in the Adams League playoff series with a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Monarchs. Dario Lopez pitched well for the Amigos, throwing 6 2/3 innings of three-hit ball, giving up a single run ( a solo home run by Armando Cedeno in the second). SS Royal Wilson, who has been on fire this playoff series, contributed a pair of doubles and a single, bringing his series average up to .455 and his series OPS to an amazing 1.636.
Over in the Zotti League, Cleveland won again on Saturday night, defeating the Sternwheelers 5-3 to take a 3-0 league in the series. James Turner pitched well for the Steamers, going seven innings and giving up only two runs. In addition, he and his relievers did not allow any extra base hits to the River Cities batters. On the downside, Cleveland's 2B, Nathaniel Burton, was injured in a base collision and will likely miss the rest of the playoffs.
Next game will be Monday night. Tune in to see if we have a pair of sweeps.

Going down like punks, here. But neither the pitching nor the hitting has produced. Combine that with the injuries and ugh!
ReplyDeleteNate, this last game was not because of your pitching, but 3 errors by 3B Bill Allen leading to 3 unearned runs, that killed you.
ReplyDeleteMore great pitching from Saskatoon / lousy hitting by Seattle. Hopefully, we'll salvage a little self-respect and pull out Game Four.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll need to get that trophy updated and ready to send to the new champ.
