Grays 12, White Sox 6
With 1 out & a man on 2B (Gardner), the White Sox looked to strike first in the top of the 1st. Omar Ortiz hit what looked to be an RBI single up the middle into CF but Steve Baldassari proceeded to throw out T.J. Gardner at home. After tagging out Gardner at the plate, Tad Beagley gunned down Ortiz who attempted to move to 2B on the throw home for the inning ending, tone-setting, double play.
The Grays scored 1R in the bottom of the 1st but saw the Sox answer back with 2R of their own in the top of the 2nd. The Grays found themselves down 2-1 early on. Rather than fold, they responded in mighty fashion scoring 6R in the bottom of the 2nd. The Grays added 3 more runs on in the bottom of the 3rd giving them a 10-2 lead.
Each team scored 1R in the 4th. The Sox scored 2 in the 6th & mustered up 1R in the 7th but the Grays held off the Sox surge & finished off a great season w/a W & the franchises 1st Championship! |
