Winning Teams are in BOLD

ECMSI and Flynn's closed out their 2009 season with a bang. Superb defense and some big hits highlighted the second half this back-2-back games by these teams. Apparently, being a visitor in this matchup is the advantage. ECMSI played a slow steady grinding game against the short-handed Flynn's to secure the #1 seed. ECMSI was lead at the plate by Kole Kasic going 4/4 with 4 RBI's and a first inning dinger. He also drove home the deciding run in the top of the 6th while earning his second game ball of the season. To round out his game, he made an awesome stop over second base to end the 5th. King(4RBI) was 4/4 as well. Bender(2RBI) was 3/3 with the second team homer and made a sick catch at second to freeze out the 2nd inning. Russo(RBI) was 3/4. Kolin Learn(RBI), Kimble and Rader were also 2/3. Flynn's also had their strong performers today. Pitko(RBI) was 3/3. Brooks(2RBI), Leskovac(2RBI) and Hoffman(RBI) were all 2/3. Tommy Leskovac made an outstanding catch at pitcher on a line drive. Great game boys and nice job to all the teams on their '09 regular season. Good luck to all in the playoffs.

WHAT A GAME! Flynn's bats are hot as they jump out to an early 7-0 lead after one. ECMSI's bats come alive in the second as they put up 7 making the score 10-7 Flynns after two. Flynns puts up 3 while ECMSI scores one in the third and 4 in the fourth making the score 13-12 Flynns after four innings. Flynns scores 4 in the fifth and then goes on to hold the heart of ECMSI's order scoreless. Flynns adds 4 more in the top of the 6th to go on for the win. Too many names to mention as this was a great team effort by both squads. Rubber match between these two teams on Sunday should be another thriller. Both teams are looking forward to the playoffs which are shaping up to be real exciting.

Heat, humidity and lots of hits. Robert Senn started slow but had a huge 4th inning putting up 6 runs but it wasn't enough in the end.
