Yawkey League Baseball at it's FINEST! Let's first take our HATS off to the Brighton Brewers for a GREAT playoff run and Final Series. Special Applauses go to Kevin Christina for the Tremenous effort he put forth for his team on short rest and 95 degree heat. Somerville was down most of the day but never ever did you see quit in their eyes. They battled for 2 in the 6th and a series clinching 3 in the 7th. Sal Mendonca drove home the final two runs with a base hit through the draw in infield scoring Billy Fitz and Tom McDonough with the winning run. Scott Rodgers came up HUGE for Alibrandis in relief of Marc DesRoches going the last three inning and gaining his 3rd playoff win. Mike Powers again leads his troops to another UNBELIEVABLE victory....Thanks Manager of the Year! Somerville wins their 9 straight title and 10 outta 11 Championships.
