The Dodgers look to improve their playoff seeding with a 9-3 win over Los Bravos at Rogers. Los Bravos throw Defusco onto the hill for perhaps his last YBL career start, ending it with the team he started with, against the team he played for the better part of 10 years. And in true Defusco fashion, he promptly drills Shatto in the ribs. Defusco had a good day at the dish, going 2-3. And Ari Glantz goes 2-4 with a 2-run 2b in the 2nd. Samp earns his 4th W of the year, giving up 2er in 4 innings. 'Salad' Shea and Rosy throw a clean last 3 innings to nail it down. After jumping out to a 2 run lead in the first, the Dodgers tack on 5 in the 2nd when Nick Tapper finally earns the Matchbox MVP with a grand slam into the right-center trees (despite a valiant effort from M.Uberti). He also k'd miserably against Smitty again. Clarke (2r)/Buddha/Campbell each add 2 hits. Fans of the game: the O'Keefes finally make an appearance!

Nationals get a nice team win late in the season with a patchwork lineup. Eoin McAvinchey goes the distance for the Nationals after a rocky first inning. On defense, Kevin Hopwood led the team with solid glove work, including a Sportscenter worthy double play to end a serious threat in the first inning. On offense, Pat Yee (2-4, 2R) set the pace while Villalona, von Harten, and Argetsinger all hit doubles. Schlesinger takes the loss for the Braves while Robb (2-3, HBP) led the Braves offensively.

Braves jump out to a 7-1 lead after 5, culminating with 4 runs in the 4th on a 2-run single by Billy Uberti and a 2-run double by Smith.

Smith is solid once again on the bump (7 IP, 3 R, 7 K) and the Braves finally get some timely hitting to end their losing streak. After trading off solo homeruns in the 1st (Robb and Delaney) and 1 run each in the 2nd, the Braves bats woke up adding at least 2 runs in each inning from the 4th to the 7th. Robb (5-5) drove in the first 4 Braves runs with his homer, 1-run and 2-run singles in the 2nd and 4th. He later drove in 3 more in the 5th on a bases loaded triple for 7 on the night. Glantz broke out of an early season funk smacking 2 doubles with 2 RBI, 2 R and an HbP. Delaney (HR, 2 RBI), Gouthier (2-3, SB) and Marquez (1-2, RBI, BB) lead the Maddogs offense. After opening up on an extended road trip, the Braves are looking forward to returning to familiar Rogers Park as 16 of their last 21 games are at their home park.

After losing their first four games on the road to begin the season, the Bravos returned home to good old Rogers Park last night, where dogs crap on the mound and the Bravos heat up. The red-hot Saints came in undefeated and set the pace all night, taking the lead four times with timely hits, but the Bravos kept tying it up with timely two-out hitting of their own. Hector Coscione (3-4, BB, 4 R, HR, RBI) hit his first YBL homer. StevieD (2-3, 2 BB, 2 R, RBI) continued his hot start at the dish. Even Lanky (2-4, 2 RBI) hit a pair of two-out game-tying singles. But the big blow of the night came from Mike Feetham (1-3, BB, 2B, 2 RBI), in his Bravos debut, a walk-off two-run double in the 9th. Slesh (1-0) picked up the win in relief after a strong outing by Brad Reynolds (7 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 5 BB, 7 K) in his YBL debut. McAuliffe (2-4, RBI, BB, SB) led the Saints offense.

The SHDodgers win their inaugural tilt of the 2014 season in very interesting fashion. After a 15-minute delay (lights), Los Bravos capitalize on a throwing error to take a 1-0 lead, later adding a pair in the 4th and 1 in the 7th. Mike Smith was stellar, striking out 8 Dodgers in the first 3 innings, going 6 shutout with 11 ks. For the Dodgers, The Big Canuck (Huber) went 6 yielding 3 runs (2 ER) and keeping his team in the game. Then it got weird. The lights went out at 10:00 on the nose, and caused another 20-minute delay in the top of the 7th. Chazz Conroy lets up 1 run going into the last frame. With Smitty done for the night, the delay clearly took a toll as the Braves pitching couldn't get back in groove with a series of walks and an HBP, letting the Dodgers push 5 across for the win. Greeley takes the tough luck loss, Conroy vultures a win, Jamula with the GW rbi.
