Yesterday, the Seattle Monarchs taught the Amigos that it helps to have a 5-0 lead after the first inning. The Amigos learned the lesson well as they took a 5-0 lead against the Monarchs in the first inning, capped off by 1B Billy Pla's two run home run.
Ultimately, Saskatoon would manage to have a 10-0 lead before Seattle managed to score four runs in the final innings. However, by that point, it was just too little, too late.
Thomas Cohen went eight innings and struck out nine to earn his fourth win of the post season and to cut Seattle's lead in the Cecil Cup Series to three games to two.

I've lost a 3-1 lead in the Cecil Cup before. I'd like to avoid repeating the experience, if it's ok with the universe.
ReplyDeleteAt least I've got my two best pitchers ready on full rest for Games Six and Seven. Now it's up to Placencia and Hester to pitch better than their first outings in this series and get us to the promised land.
