Game #2 – Wehrung’s vs. Eddie’s

The second game of the night was not as much a slugfest as they prior game as both teams struggle for runs at times. A spot in the championship is on the line and Wehrung’s are going to come out on top with a 9-4 win. Dave Nagle was a sparkplug for Wehrung’s going 3 for 3 with two doubles and three RBI’s. Wyatt Schilling added two runs on a second inning bomb deep into the woods. Eddies had been shut down until third getting a three run bomb from Brian Dart.

Game #3 – Altek vs. Mott-Ley Crew

The last spot in the championship is up for grabs as Altek takes on the Crew as they have showed up late on this cold night. Altek will come out fast in this one as they grab a big lead early and don’t look back, taking this and heading to the championship with a 10-5 lead. Kevin Cwikla was the MVP for Altek in this one grabbing three hits and three RBI’s including a big two run bomb in the second inning. Altek let their defense after the first two innings. For Crew, they got a sudden spark in the fourth on a Tom Finn two run single, but not much else in this one. They may be disappointed heading into the offseason, but they have to look back and see all the success they did have this season.
