The Brick Barracudas put three runs across the plate in the bottom of the seventh to defeat the Philadelphia Hornets 4-2 and advance to the Cecil Cup round.
The bottom of the seventh started off with Brick down 4-2. Martin Cox started off the inning with a single. After getting the next two batters to strike out (and allowing Cox to advance to second on a balk), Michael Leach gave up a double to Felix Selgado, bring Cox home.
Rick Chase followed up with a triple, bringing Selgado home and tying the game at 4-4. The next batter, Larry McCormick, walked. At that point, Philadelphia brought in right hander Ralph Turner to close the door. Unfortunately, on his very first pitch he uncorked a wild ball, allowing Chase to come home with the go-ahead run.
This sets up the sixth consecutive season that Brick has advanced to the Cecil Cup Series and the fourth time they will have met in the final round. The Monarchs prevailed against Brick each of the three previous times. Will the Barracudas be able to pull it out this time? Only time will tell.
Next up: Game 1 of the Cecil Cup Series to be played Monday night.
