Brighton Brewers 5, Revere Rockies 1
Kevin Christina stole the stage in this one... and it was a relatively big stage, as it was a decisive Game 5. Kevin allowed only 1 ER and 5 hits en route to the complete game victory. The Brewers jumped out to a 2-run lead in the bottom of the first, as Mike Maguire hit the first Rockies pitch of the game for a ground-rule double. Marc Hordon drove in Maguire with a triple, later scoring on a Tony Iafolla single.
Maguire and Hordon scored two runs each, which gave Kevin Christina all the breathing room he would need.
Mike McCarthy pitched 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief to give the Rockies offense a chance to come back. Kevin Spitz collected his team-leading 7th hit of the series on a solid liner to left, scoring the Rockies' only run.
Brewers win series 3-2. |
