Sun, 16 August, 4:00PM, at Gibson Field - Canton (Game 2 of DH)
Weymouth Cubs 6, Canton Royals 2
Needing one win on the day to secure a playoff birth, the Cubs sent Billy McGee to the hill against Chris Johnson. McGee scattered 9 hits over a complete game victory while giving up 2 runs (1 earned) and walking none. McGee was backed by a resurgent Cubs offense led by Brian McCarthy. A big, 4 run 3rd broke the game open as Carpentier and McCarthy singled, Walz chipped in with an RBI ground out, and, following a walk to Daughtrey, Mike Ray hit a 2-run triple to deep right center and came in to score on a throwing error at 3rd. The Royals head into the postseason as the #2 seed while the Cubs will host the Quincy Pirates on Friday, 8/21 as the #8 seed. |
