[EagleFan]

Half done for the previews, will continue tomorrow.

Check out "Bully" Brown's numbers as a starter for Grants Pass, WOW.

Add in the lineup for Tuscon and that could be an interesting series. Pitching versus hitting.

[EagleFan]

3 of the remaining 8 done tonight. Taking a bit of a break and may do one more tonight and then hopefully the final 4 tomorrow. That will allow me to start the league championships on Wednesday.

[EagleFan]

Got further than I thought.

Previews done, will start up the championships tomorrow.

ECBL Championship

New York Exchange vs. Orlando Ratpack

Game 1
Orlando (O'Halloran) @ New York (Valdes)

Barry Day singles home a run with 2 outs in the top of the first to give Orlando a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the 3rd Donald Beauregard bgins home the tying run with a sacrifice fly and the game is tied 1-1 after 3 innings of play.

New York breaks through in the bottom of the 5th as they plate 4 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk. Ben Weber got the inning started with a solo homerun. After 5 innings New York leads 5-1.

Valdes sailed along into the 8th but a one out double by Phil Smith was followed by a moonshot homerun to dead center by Burton Johnston to bring Orlando back to 5-3. A ground out and strikeout end the inning. New York goes down in order in the bottom of the inning and after 8 innings of play New York leads 5-3.

Gabriel Elias comes in for New York to pitch the 9th. He retires the side in order with 2 strikeouts and 1 ground out.

New York wins game 1 by a 5-3 final and takes a 1-0 series lead.

Game 2
Orlando (Jimenez) @ New York (Orchard)

Pitching is the name of the game. New York starter John Orchard gave up a one out double in the 1st inning and did not give up another hit as he went 8 scoreless innings. Not to be outdone, Orlando pitcher Jorge Jimenez has not allowed a hit through 8 innings of play. We go to the 9th.

Ismael Cortez comes in for New York to start the top of the 9th. He retires the side in order on three ground balls and the game is still 0-0 going to eh bottom of the 9th.

Ben Long opens the bottom of the 9th looping a single to center on a 1-0 pitch to breakup the no hitter. Jimenez is replaces by Ryan Heath. Jose Gallegos singles, runners at 1st and 2nd with no outs. Paco Perez lines out to center, one out. On a 1-0 pitch to Craig Jones, Heath throws a wild pitch, runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out. Jones is intentionally walked to load the bases with 1 out and setup the force at home. On the first pitch Jose Gomez singles to center, New York wins 1-0.
