Guest Evolution Report post Posted August 24, 2004 Oh yeah, and one more thing: Giant Gonzales is the only TSM player that was not resigned (I just resigned MVS myself). So, Drea, do you want him to be resigned, or should we just let the chips fall where they may and see if he retires? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2004 Sweet zombie Jesus, no! Do not resign him. Force him to retire. Make him tear his quad if need be. Anything to get him to move back to Argentina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 Fuck that 'talent in taking walks drops' as he gets older he should be walking all the time. I'm surprised he isn't in a walker by now. It's good that I finally get to check in for the first time in ages because of my schedule and see my boy in line for some career milestones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Evolution Report post Posted August 28, 2004 2018 PLAYOFFS Jacksonville Jackoffs (Winston Ghandi) vs. Detroit Motor Vehicles If it makes you feel any better, Detroit is not expected to get anywhere near the Conference Championship round. Jacksonville should do a good job of shutting them down. Oh, and with the playoff berth for Detroit, the Atlanta Hanoi Janes are the only team out of the original 20 that has not been to the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2004 Damn does Atlanta suck. I mean, we usually do decently in the first month or so, maybe even longer than that, but once it gets closer to fall, something clicks and we fall apart. Perhaps the best example being a couple years ago when Atlanta, Jacksonville, and I think Charlotte were in a 3-way race for the South. And of course, Atlanta lost the last two games or whatever, and Jacksonville clinched the division, those jerks. But with Giant Gonzales hopefully being beaten with sticks this off-season, things might be different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Evolution Report post Posted September 6, 2004 Plenty of other crap going on, but here's an update that updates all the playoff series through the first two games. I hope to have the rest of these series done by the time I go to sleep tonight, whenever that is. PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM VS NEW YORK BUMS 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 1 Kristofer McNamar (PHI) vs. Frigid Soul (NY) Despite receiving a double dose of injuries in Game 1, New York was able to recover with a big fifth inning, scoring seven runs and putting plenty of distance between the Bums and the Freedom as New York went on to win Game 1 big by a final score of 11-3. The first injury for the New York Bums came in the second inning as Frigid Soul, who had been pitching perfectly up to that point, threw his fifteen pitch of the game and then quickly showed signs of pain. After being taken off the field, Honrio Delfierro came on in relief and then kept the perfect game that Soul had started going through the fourth inning, when he issued a walk to Merlin McKnight. William Walker would later break the no-hitter with a single. With two runners on, Jed Goude came to the plate and smacked a two-out, three-run homerun to take a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately, that was all that Philadelphia could produce in the game, as they were forced to watch the New York offense explode and the bullpen shut them down as the deficit grew and grew. New York suffered their second injury at the opposite end of the game spectrum. On the last play of the game, second baseman Joe Colopy injured himself throwing a ball to first for the third and final out of the inning, ending the game with a New York victory. Colopy was an important contributor for the Bums' offensive spurt, going 2-for-4 in the game with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored; his two hits were a solo homerun in the first inning and a two-run homerun in that big fifth inning. Stephen Tampke went that extra step, however, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and four runs batted in, slapping two doubles in the fifth inning and a three-run homerun in the seventh inning. Adam West (.200/0/1) went 1-for-5, hitting a double in the fifth inning to bring home one run and then later scoring in the inning. Edward James (.000/0/0) went 0-for-4, on a day when only two hits were recorded by the Freedom. PHILADELPHIA 3, NEW YORK 11 New York leads series 1-0 SCORING SUMMARY: NEW YORK 1ST: Joe Colopy homered to right. PHILADELPHIA 4TH: Jed Goude homered to right, Merlin McKnight and William Walker scored. NEW YORK 5TH: Kevin Mugan singled to left-center, Stephen Tampke scored, Mugan thrown out at second; Adam West doubled to right-center, Carlos Napoles scored; Antonio Frades singled to left, Adam West scored; Joe Colopy homered to right-center, Antonio Frades scored; Eduardo Lizana homered to right; Stephen Tampke doubled to left, Glynn Kortkamp scored. NEW YORK 7TH: Stephen Tampke homered to left, Glynn Kortkamp and Eduardo Lizana scored. WP - Juan Martinez (1-0, 4 IP, 0 HA, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks, entered game in fourth inning) LP - Kristofer McNamar (0-1, 4 2/3 IP, 9 HA, 8 ER, 1 BB, 4 Ks) Time of Game: 3 hours, 13 minutes Player of the Game: Stephen Tampke (3-for-4, 2 R, 4 RBI, 2 2B, 3-run homerun in seventh inning) Notes: NY: Joe Colopy was injured while throwing a ball. Diagnosis: Sore Shoulder. He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take 4 days. Frigid Soul (NY) will miss 5-6 weeks NEW YORK - When it rains, it pours. New York's ace Frigid Soul will not pitch for at least 5-6 weeks, handing the team a huge setback. He suffered a serious injury in a game against Philadelphia where he left the field in the 2nd inning. New York wasted no time and rushed him to an hospital. Team officials were informed later that Soul had suffered a strained rotator cuff muscle. Frigid has a record of 13-14 this season, with an ERA of 4.10. In 204 innings pitched this season he was able to strike out 168 batters. GAME 2 Peter Kostka (PHI) vs. Fabio Mercurio (NY) After last night's thrashing at the hands of the Bums, the visiting Philadelphia Freedom were more than pleased to return the favor in Game 2. Philadelphia jumped out to an early 4-0 lead after two innings, and the Freedom never looked back as they piled on more runs against Fabio Mercurio and the New York bullpen, finally capping it off with a three-run eighth inning that was insult to injury in a 10-1 Philadelphia victory, evening the best-of-seven series at one game a piece. Peter Kostka, starting pitcher for the Freedom who is notorious for not lasting long on the mound despite his talents, pitched 94 pitches and allowed no runs on two hits, earning himself the victory in his first postseason appearance for Philadelphia. Kostka was traded to the Freedom earlier this season from the Los Angeles Glory Holes, who failed to make the postseason this year. Edward James (.143/1/3) got only one hit on the day, but it was a pretty big one as he jacked a two-run homerun in the first inning. He finished 1-for-3 with one walk, one run scored and three RBI: two from the homerun and one from a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. Adam West (.222/0/1) had a very vanilla day, finishing 1-for-4. He did steal a base in his one on-base opportunity in the game. Jared Yerby nearly hit for the cycle, needing only a homerun in his final at-bat of the game in the top of the eighth inning, but he was only able to get a RBI single to shallow center field. Yerby still earned Player of the Game honors for his four-hit performance, however. PHILADELPHIA 10, NEW YORK 1 Series tied 1-1 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 1ST: Edward James homered to left, Jared Yerby scored. PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Jared Yerby doubled to center, Kole Botting and Tarren Quick scored. PHILADELPHIA 5TH: Merlin McKnight doubled to center, Jared Yerby scored. PHILADELPHIA 6TH: Jed Goude homered to left. PHILADELPHIA 7TH: Edward James hit a sacrifice fly to center, Jared Yerby scored. NEW YORK 7TH: Andrew Reina doubled to right, Carlos Napoles scored. PHILADELPHIA 8TH: Jerrold Mauder homered to right; Tarren Quick doubled to right, Al Reineri scored; Jared Yerby singled to center, Tarren Quick scored. WP - Peter Kostka (1-0, 6 1/3 IP, 2 HA, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 Ks) LP - Fabio Mercurio (0-1, 5 1/3 IP, 9 HA, 6 ER, 1 BB, 1 K) Time of Game: 3 hours, 47 minutes Player of the Game: Jared Yerby (4-for-4, 3 R, 3 RBI, BB, 2B, 3B) Notes: None. SEATTLE FRASIERS VS DENVER DOUCHEBAGS 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 1 Tipsy Gesner (SEA) vs. Bill Cobos (DEN) The first five innings of Game 1 were dominated by the Frasiers, but once the seventh inning hit, the Frasiers were on the run as Denver mounted a comeback. The comeback was largely successful, as Denver turned a 7-1 deficit into an 8-7 victory, rallying for seven runs in the final three innings while shutting down the Frasiers in the clutch and taking a one game to zero advantage in the best-of-seven playoff series. Tipsy Gesner lasted until the eighth inning, but left the game having given up five earned runs on eight hits, striking out eight and throwing one hundred and fifteen pitches before finally leaving the game. Bill Cobos gave up seven runs in his four and two-thirds innings of work, but only three of those seven runs were earned. Fortunately, the Denver bullpen fared much better, giving up only three hits in four and one-third innings. The comeback from Denver was capped off with an amazing ninth inning that saw Denver scrap together singles to create three runs and finally win the game as Jose Etenza roped a two-RBI single to left, scoring Ben Gonzalez as the game-winning run. Etenza was deemed player of the game as he went 2-for-5 on the day, scoring once and driving in four runs. An inning before his game-winning hit, he got his first hit of the game with a 2-run homerun with two outs in the eighth inning, which was the last mistake that Tipsy Gesner made before leaving the game. Mike Barnwell of the Frasiers looked to be an shoe-in for Player of the Game until Etenza's late-inning heroics fudged that up. Barnwell went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four runs driven in, hitting two doubles: One in the first inning with the bases loaded and another in the fourth inning with no one on. RJ Frost (.333/0/0) went 1-for-3 with two walks and one run scored. SEATTLE 7, DENVER 8 Denver leads series 1-0 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 1ST: Mike Barnwell doubled to left-center, Gilles Godinez, Santi Alfonso, and RJ Frost scored. SEATTLE 4TH: Dan Downey tripled to right, Mike Barnwell scored. DENVER 4TH: Alex Mcconnaughey doubled to left-center, Ben Gonzalez scored. SEATTLE 5TH: Mike Barnwell grounded into fielder's choice to the third baseman, RJ Frost thrown out at second base, Oscar Ortiz scored; Hiderou Tanzan walked, Mike Barnwell scored. DENVER 7TH: John Duffner singled to right, Brantley Suttster scored. DENVER 8TH: Jose Etenza homered to left-center, Joseph Boutang scored; John Tripp singled to left, Alex Mcconnaughey scored. DENVER 9TH: Joseph Boutang singled to right, John Duffner scored; Jose Etenza singled to left, James Deherrera and Ben Gonzalez scored. WP - Tim Righini (1-0, entered game in the eighth inning) LP - Raul Carrera (0-1, entered game in the ninth inning) Time of Game: 3 hours, 57 minutes Player of the Game: Jose Etenza (2-for-5, R, 4 RBI, 2-run homerun in eighth inning, game-winning two-RBI hit in the ninth inning) Notes: None. GAME 2 Jose Ayala (SEA) vs. John Propes (DEN) After two exciting ten-inning games in the North-South bracket of the playoffs, the East-West answered with an over-five hour marathon. Seattle scored three runs in the fourth inning, but a three-run eighth inning evened the game up at three-all. The game went into extra innings, but in the thirteenth inning, the Denver bullpen ran dry and every Frasier got a chance at the plate, resulting in three runs in the top of the thirteenth en route to Seattle taking a 6-3 victory in thirteen innings, as the best-of-seven series is now tied at one game a piece. RJ Frost (.375/1/2) was deemed Player of the Game, going 2-for-5 with 2 RBI and two runs scored. RJ hit a two-run homerun in the fourth inning and a double in the eighth inning with no one on, but represented one of the three runs that crossed the plate in the final inning. SEATTLE 6, DENVER 3 (13 INNINGS) Series tied 1-1 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 4TH: RJ Frost homered to left, Oscar Ortiz scored; David Shiras grounded into 6-4-3 double play, Mike Barnwell scored. DENVER 8TH: Jose Etenza tripled to right-center, Joseph Boutang scored; Alex Mcconnaughey hit a sacrifice fly to center, Jose Etenza scored; John Duffner doubled to left, Brantley Suttster scored. SEATTLE 13TH: David Shiras singled to right, Oscar Ortiz and RJ Frost scored; Gilles Godinez reached base on an infield-hit, Mike Barnwell scored. WP - Jim Caher (1-0, entered game in the twelfth inning) LP - Louie Finer (0-1, entered game in the twelfth inning) Time of Game: 5 hours, 22 minutes Player of the Game: RJ Frost (2-for-5, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2B, BB, 2-run homerun in the fourth inning) Notes: None. HOUSTON HORNY TOADS VS COLUMBUS PRIDE 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 1 Aldo Zendejas (HOU) vs. Yosy Valdez (COL) Norman Ferreira got a clutch pinch-hit single in the tenth inning to score the game-winning run as Houston broke a 3-3 tie with that hit, going on to win 4-3 to take the 1-0 advantage over the defending SFBL league champions in the best-of-seven series. The game was mostly dominated by the two starting pitchers, who both lasted until the ninth inning. Patrick Hannon (.250/0/0) struck out three times in the game, with his only hit a double in the fourth inning. Jonathan Dehn (.000/0/0) went 0-for-5 in the game. HOUSTON 4, COLUMBUS 3 (10 INNINGS) Houston leads series 1-0 SCORING SUMMARY: HOUSTON 1ST: Emilio Portillo homered to center. COLUMBUS 3RD: Michael Lingler homered to left-center; Ken Coutu singled to right-center, Harry Clingenpeel scored. HOUSTON 6TH: Yosy Valdez throwed a wild pitch, Dwayne Jaklitsch scored. COLUMBUS 6TH: Harry Clingenpeel reached base on an infield-hit, David Zearge scored. HOUSTON 7TH: Harry Bleise homered to right. HOUSTON 10TH: Norman Ferreira singled to right, Todd Oviedo scored. WP - Bradly Goedert (1-0, entered game in the ninth inning) LP - Lemarcus Cooper (0-1, entered game in the ninth inning) Time of Game: 3 hours, 26 minutes Player of the Game: Harry Bleise (1-for-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, game-tying solo homerun in the seventh inning) Notes: None. GAME 2 Matt Mckain (HOU) vs. Nigel McClain (COL) Nigel McClain did the best that he could do given his talents, but the run support simply wasn't there until he was long gone, sitting on the bench and out of the game. Houston knocked Nigel out with two runs in the sixth inning, and added six runs in the final two innings as the result was an embarassing 10-3 loss for the Columbus Pride, who are now behind two games to none in their best-of-seven series with Houston. The defending SFBL Champions were unable to crack Matt Mckain, who lasted seven innings and allowed no runs on six hits, striking out four. Columbus would string together three runs in the final two innings, but Houston's six in the final two were more than enough to keep Columbus from making it close. Nigel took the loss in this game, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and striking out five, with two walks issued as well. Patrick Hannon (.125/0/0) contributed a whole lot of nothing to the team on this day, going 0-for-4 with one walk. Jonathan Dehn (.111/0/0) got a double in the ninth inning for his only hit of the 1-for-4 game, and would later score in the inning, but it was too late to even matter.

JACKSONVILLE JACKOFFS VS DETROIT MOTOR VEHICLES 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 1 Alex Avalos (JAC) vs. Raul Alvarado (DET) The North-South had its second extra-inning game of the night in the playoffs when Detroit was able to tie Jacksonville 3-3 in the seventh inning. Finally, in the tenth inning, a little known third baseman for the Motor Vehicles became a hero. With his solo homerun in the bottom half of the tenth, Eric Battle drove in the game-winning run--himself--en route to a 4-3 victory for Detroit in their first ever postseason appearance, which very much pleased the hometown crowd in Detroit who have been waiting for a playoff berth for oh-so-long. Battle was selected as the player of the game, as he most certainly provided the most offense for his team on this night. For Jacksonville, Winston Ghandi (.200/0/0) went 1-for-5 with a double in the sixth inning. Ghandi would later score in that inning.

GAME 2 Andrew Fasquelle (JAC) vs. Jayce Ross (DET) After building a three-run lead going into the final three outs of the game, Jacksonville figured that they had it in the bag. Right? Wrong. Detroit exploded for four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning with back-to-back-to-back homeruns, winning Game 2 6-5 and taking a two games to none lead over Jacksonville in the best-of-seven series. Rafael Calderon blew his save opportunity, allowing a two-run homerun to Cristian Vasquez and then a solo homerun to the very next batter in Donny Mangan. Keith Pilkenton came on in relief of Calderon to lessen the blow, but Ulrich Hamlett jacked the third consecutive homerun and the longest one at that, landing 434 feet later as Detroit won the game. Winston Ghandi (.333/0/0) went 2-for-4, drawing a walk in the ninth and later scoring from that for his only run scored of the game. Ghandi also hit a double and a triple in the game, but nothing came from those hits.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted September 7, 2004 PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM VS NEW YORK BUMS 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 3 Dan White (NY) vs. Ben Joos (PHI) Not wanting to feel left out, the last remaining playoff series to not have an extra inning game joined the fray as Philadelphia and New York took it to extra innings. New York blinked first, however, and in the bottom of the twelfth inning Jess James led off with a walk-off solo homerun to give Philadelphia a 4-3 victory and a two games to one advantage in the series. New York came back late in the game and was barely able to tie the game at three runs a piece in the top of the ninth inning. Adam West (.286/1/2) went 2-for-5, scoring twice and driving in a run, mostly thanks to his leadoff solo homerun in the first inning. Adam also drew a walk and was caught trying to steal a base, the first instance of such an event for West this postseason. Edward James' (.167/1/3) only hit was a double in the sixth inning, and he would later be caught stealing third. He finished 1-for-5, as he made two errors in the infield at third base, including one that allowed Adam West to score as the tying run and forced extra innings. Fortunately, Philadelphia was able to take the duke in their own stadium, as James would've faced crucifixion if they hadn't covered for him. NEW YORK 3, PHILADELPHIA 4 (12 INNINGS) Philadelphia leads series 2-1 SCORING SUMMARY: NEW YORK 1ST: Adam West homered to right-center. PHILADELPHIA 5TH: Jared Yerby singled to right, Jed Goude and Al Reineri scored. NEW YORK 8TH: Moses Blanchfield hit a sacrifice fly to center, Eduardo Lizana scored. PHILADELPHIA 8TH: Jerrold Mauder doubled to left-center, Tarren Quick scored. NEW YORK 9TH: Eduardo Lizana reached base on a throwing error by the third baseman, Adam West scored. PHILADELPHIA 12TH: Jess James homered to left. WP - Kirk Plucker (1-0, entered game in the twelfth inning) LP - Garry Minkel (0-1, entered game in the twelfth inning, did not record an out) Time of Game: 4 hours, 18 minutes Player of the Game: Jess James (2-for-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, BB, game-winning solo homerun in the twelfth inning) Notes: None. GAME 4 Garry Minkel (NY) vs. Kristofer Mcnamar (PHI) After not recording an out in Philadelphia's Game 3 victory, Garry Minkel was sent out in Game 4 to be an impromptu spot starter as the other three starters were tired. The result seemed to be something surprisingly effective, as Minkel gave up three runs early but then clamped tight and tried to hold on as New York managed to rally back. Finally, in the top of the eighth, New York scored a run and went up 4-3 as Minkel now just needed to hang on a little longer before he could be credited with the win. Unfortunately, Philadelphia exploded for five runs in the bottom of the eighth, and Minkel was credited for two of them, giving him the loss as Philadelphia came back to overtake the lead and then some, winning Game 4 by a score of 8-4 and putting New York on the brink of elimination with Game 5 coming up in Philadelphia. Jared Yerby provided four of those five runs in the big eighth inning, hitting a grand slam homerun with one out in the inning, his second hit of the evening and the shot that allowed Philadelphia to double New York's run total. Edward James (.250/1/3) started off the eighth inning with a double, and would later score in the inning. He went 2-for-4 on the day. Adam West (.263/1/2) went 1-for-5, providing absolutely nothing beneficial to the Bums' cause. NEW YORK 4, PHILADELPHIA 8 Philadelphia leads series 3-1 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 1ST: William Walker hit a sacrifice fly to left-center, Kole Botting scored. PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Kole Botting tripled to right, Al Reineri and Jess James scored. NEW YORK 4TH: Glynn Kortkamp homered to left. NEW YORK 6TH: Joe Colopy homered to right-center, Antonio Frades scored. NEW YORK 8TH: Glynn Kortkamp hit a sacrifice fly to right-center, Joe Colopy scored. PHILADELPHIA 8TH: Jed Goude grounded into a fielder's choice to the second baseman, Edward James scored; Jared Yerby homered to right, Eude Ortegon, Jed Goude and Tarren Quick scored.

GAME 5 Shane Keller (NY) vs. Peter Kostka (PHI) Still struggling to find a decent starting pitcher while the others recovered from their fatigue, the New York bullpen was used en force to combine for what would be an impressive effort if they could hold off their opponents in the Freedom. And it was working. Kostka left the game in the sixth inning without a chance for a win, having given up three runs on ten hits, with two strikeouts and a walk. However, Juan Martinez would be the last hope for the Bums. If he could keep things straight--and with the Bums' 6-2 advantage, what's the worst that could happen?--New York would avoid elimination. Unfortunately, Martinez couldn't hang on. Philadelphia staged an amazing comeback, managing to score five runs in the bottom of the ninth to take the fifth game and the series 7-6 in an improbable comeback. Edward James (.350/2/4) started that comeback with a leadoff homerun in the inning, and finished the day going 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI. James also hit a double in the first inning--he would later score. Adam West (.250/1/2) finished the series in the same average way he started, going 1-for-5 and getting caught stealing once again. He also made an error at shortstop. Kostka's ERA in the postseason dropped to 2.19 with his no-decision, in which he pitched only 79 pitches. NEW YORK 6, PHILADELPHIA 7 Philadelphia wins series 4-1 SCORING SUMMARY: NEW YORK 1ST: Eduardo Lizana singled to center, Joe Colopy scored. PHILADELPHIA 1ST: William Walker reached base on a throwing error by the shortstop, Edward James scored. NEW YORK 2ND: Carlos Napoles grounded into a fielder's choice to the shortstop, Stephen Tampke scored. PHILADELPHIA 3RD: Merlin McKnight homered to right-center.

SEATTLE FRASIERS VS DENVER DOUCHEBAGS 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 3 Tony Saltsman (DEN) vs. George Alongi (SEA) Denver scored two runs early in the game and never lost that lead, as Tony Saltsman did most of the rest, pitching eight innings of solid work en route to a 5-3 victory, as Denver took a two games to one advantage in the best of seven series. Saltsman allowed three runs, two of them earned on eight hits, striking out four and walking two. Jim Field came on in relief of Saltsman for the final inning of play, picking up the first save by any pitcher in this year's postseason. The real star for Denver, however, was Jose Etenza, who went 2-for-5 with 3 RBI, including a big triple in the fifth inning with two men on and two outs in the inning. Etenza now has eight RBI in the postseason, one homerun, and a batting average of .400. RJ Frost (.250/1/2) committed an error at first base, which was pretty much the most exciting thing that happened to him in this game, as he went 0-for-4 on the day. DENVER 5, SEATTLE 3 Denver leads series 2-1 SCORING SUMMARY: DENVER 1ST: Jose Etenza singled to right, Ben Gonzalez scored; John Tripp singled to left, Joseph Boutang scored. SEATTLE 2ND: David Shiras doubled to right, Mike Barnwell scored. DENVER 5TH: Jose Etenza tripled to right, Ben Gonzalez and Joseph Boutang scored. SEATTLE 5TH: Tony Saltsman throwed a wild pitch, David Shiras scored; Santi Alfonso hit a sacrifice fly to left-center, Gilles Godinez scored. DENVER 9TH: James Deherrera homered to right.

GAME 4 Bill Cobos (DEN) vs. Tipsy Gesner (SEA) In the end, Tipsy Gesner allowed an insane amount of hits, but a perfectly sane amount of runs for his talent. Both Denver and Seattle's offenses produced eleven hits each, but Seattle was able to get three runs out of their eleven hits, and that was all they needed to take Game 4 and tie the best-of-seven series at two games a piece. Gesner was actually looking for a complete game, but after pitching his 111th pitch that resulted in his sixth strikeout of the night, the pitching coach noticed his fatigue and removed him from the game, giving Raul Carrera a chance at an easy save opportunity. Sure enough, with two outs in the inning, Carrera needed only two pitches to get his man and his first save of the postseason. The game, which lasted less than three hours, was highlighted on the offensive side by Seattle's RJ Frost (.313/1/4), who went 2-for-4 and drove in two runs. Frost hit a double in the 3rd inning with a man on for one RBI. Frost hit a single earlier in the first inning for his second RBI. DENVER 1, SEATTLE 3 Series tied 2-2 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 1ST: Oscar Ortiz doubled to left, Jorge Monarrez scored; RJ Frost singled to left-center, Oscar Ortiz scored. SEATTLE 3RD: RJ Frost doubled to right-center, Jorge Monarrez scored. DENVER 7TH: Joseph Boutang singled to left, Stacy Perez scored.

GAME 5 John Propes (DEN) vs. Jose Ayala (SEA) After a pitcher's duel for the first five innings, the runs gradually, but finally started to come in. Seattle cracked Propes first, scoring two runs on him in the bottom of the sixth. Denver responded in the top of the eighth inning, taking the lead with three runs in the inning. Seattle tied it with one in the bottom half of the eighth, and it seemed likely that the game would go to extra innings as Propes was still hanging on strong. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and RJ Frost on third, Dan Downey, a relative pushover, stepped to the plate. A stroke to center was all that Downey needed, however, and Frost came home to give Seattle the victory and the three games to two advantage in the series. RJ Frost's (.300/1/4) double was the only hit of the game for the Velvet Hammer, as he went 1-for-4 with that one lone run scored. Unfortunately for the Frasiers, Jose Ayala was injured while pitching in the eight inning, which led to the bullpen almost blowing the game for Seattle. DENVER 3, SEATTLE 4 Seattle leads series 3-2 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 6TH: Gilles Godinez homered to left; Santi Alfonso homered to right. DENVER 8TH: Joseph Boutang singled to right, Ben Gonzalez scored; Jose Etenza doubled to center, Boutang scored; Alex Mcconnaughey doubled to left-center, Etenza scored.

Diagnosis: Stiff Shoulder. He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take 6 days. GAME 6 George Alongi (SEA) vs. Tony Saltsman (DEN) Denver scored four runs in the eighth inning, and a late comeback from Seattle came up one run short as the Douchebags forced a game seven with a 5-4 victory over the Frasiers. RJ Frost (.333/2/5) went 2-for-4, hitting a solo homerun in the seventh inning to account for one run scored and one RBI. SEATTLE 4, DENVER 5 Series tied 3-3 SCORING SUMMARY: DENVER 6TH: Jose Etenza reached base on an infield hit, Ben Gonzalez scored. SEATTLE 7TH: RJ Frost homered to left-center; David Shiras singled to right, Mike Barnwell scored.

GAME 7 Tipsy Gesner (SEA) vs. Bill Cobos (DEN) Seattle lit up the scoreboard in the top of the first inning for four runs and never looked back in Summer's Eve Field. The Frasiers went on to a 7-5 victory, finishing off Denver after a rough seven game series with the tough Douchebags. RJ Frost (.321/2/7) finished the series with a 1-for-4 day, scoring once and driving in two runs with his first inning double with two runners on. Frost looks in good shape going into the Conference Championship, and has a good chance of roughing the Freedom up. SEATTLE 7, DENVER 5 Seattle wins series 4-3 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 1ST: Jorge Monarrez doubled to left, Gilles Godinez scored; RJ Frost doubled to right, Monarrez and Santi Alfonso scored; Mike Barnwell singled to left-center, Frost scored.

HOUSTON HORNY TOADS VS COLUMBUS PRIDE 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 3 Felix Rodas (COL) vs. Yogi Hisahsi (HOU) After being handily beaten by the Horny Toads in Game 2, Columbus decided that they would put Houston to shame at the Lily Pad. And it wasn't long before that happened--by the time the top of the fifth was half-over, Columbus seemed to have the game well in hand. Columbus stomped Houston 11-1, taking Game 3 of the series to narrow Houston's lead in the series to one game after the Horny Toads swept Columbus at Applewhite Field. Harry Clingenpeel got three hits in his five plate appearances in this game, getting a walk in one of them with one of his key at-bats being one where he smacked a bases loaded double that scored everyone but Neall Isaacson. Clingenpeel would amass four RBI in the game total, as his stats so far for the postseason are a .455 batting average, no homeruns and five RBI. Jonathan Dehn (.143/0/1) got one hit in five at-bats, scoring once and hitting a sacrifice fly in another to account for his only RBI of the night. Patrick Hannon (.091/0/0) could not handle the Columbus pitching again, and his slump continued as he went 0-for-3 with one walk. Hannon also made an error at third. COLUMBUS 11, HOUSTON 1 Houston leads series 2-1 SCORING SUMMARY: COLUMBUS 1ST: Nathan Smith reached base on a fielding error by the third baseman, Jonathan Dehn scored. COLUMBUS 2ND: Fabio Pena doubled to left-center, Harry Clingenpeel scored. COLUMBUS 3RD: Harry Clingenpeel walked, John Scherfenberg scored.

GAME 4 Yosy Valdez (COL) vs. Alex Zendejas (HOU) Though Columbus was noted as being an offensive powerhouse, Houston got the chance to show off their big bats in Game 4. Valdez barely made it past the fourth inning, allowing seven runs on eight hits and earning the loss as Houston shelled the Columbus bullpen as well en route to a 11-4 victory as the defending SFBL Champions are now faced with elimination going into the final game in the series at the Lily Pad. Patrick Hannon (.063/0/1) and his slump continued as he went 0-for-5, but was able to generate a RBI when he grounded into a fielder's choice. Jonathan Dehn (.111/0/1) hasn't been doing much better, however, as he went 0-for-4 with a walk--that on-base opportunity later ended up turning into a run for Columbus. Antwan Adelaide got two opportunities to hit for the cycle in the game, needing only a double but coming up with a sacrifice fly and a lineout in his last two plate appearances. He was still awarded Player of the Game for his four RBI performance. COLUMBUS 4, HOUSTON 11 Houston leads series 3-1 SCORING SUMMARY: HOUSTON 1ST: Antwan Adelaide homered to left-center, Emilio Portillo and Justin Smith scored.

GAME 5 Nigel McClain (COL) vs. Matt Mckain (HOU) Nigel and Lemarcus Cooper worked together, holding Houston to three runs on seven hits as the Columbus offense did the rest, banging out fifteen hits and producing nine runs to avoid elimination in the playoffs and to stay alive with a 9-3 victory. McClain (1-1) went six and one-third innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits while striking out eight and walking only one. The real star, however, was Nathan Smith. He literally batted 1.000, going 4-for-4, drawing a walk and scoring twice while driving in four runs. Nathan had a chance for the cycle in his last at-bat, but failed to hit a triple in his last plate appearance. Jonathan Dehn (.227/0/1) also had a good day, as he went 3-for-4, scoring twice but driving in no runs. Dehn also stole a base and was caught stealing. Patrick Hannon (.100/0/1) was able to bring his batting average back over .100 finally, going 1-for-4 with a double in the first inning off Nigel that went nowhere.

GAME 6 Yogi Hisahsi (HOU) vs. Felix Rodas (COL) Felix Rodas didn't last long, but Columbus dodged another bullet with some late inning heroics from Nathan Smith as he hit a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth that scored Jonathan Dehn to give Columbus a dramatic 8-7 victory over the Horny Toads, forcing a game seven. Jonathan Dehn (.231/0/1) went 1-for-4 for the defending SFBL champs, scoring that one run that won the game for the Pride. Dehn also sacrificed a runner along. Patrick Hannon (.130/0/1) picked up another hit in this game, going 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored as he hit a double in the eighth inning with no one on and later scored because of it. Antwan Adelaide was Player of the Game and nearly killed the Pride, going 3-for-5 with two runs scored and five runs driven in. He hit two homeruns, a grand slam homerun in the 3rd that started off the scoring for the game and a solo homerun in the seventh inning that made the score 7-6 Columbus at the time.

GAME 7 Alex Zendejas (HOU) vs. Yosy Valdez (COL) Unlike the other Game 7 being played on this same day, this game wasn't even close. Columbus opened the game up with a couple of four run innings back to back in the fourth and fifth innings, and that was more than enough to put away the Horny Toads, who were all out of fight and simply took a 10-4 beating as the Pride advanced to the North-South Conference Championship. Patrick Hannon (.111/0/1) finished the series in a similar way to how he finished the first six games of the series: 0-for-4. Jonathan Dehn (.258/0/1), meanwhile, went 2-for-5, but unfortunately had nothing more to show for it besides two stolen bases (bringing his total up to three) and his second time caught stealing.

JACKSONVILLE JACKOFFS VS DETROIT MOTOR VEHICLES 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS GAME 3 Herbert Paredes (JAC) vs. Shane Trask (DET) After sweeping Jacksonville for two games at the Junkyard, the Detroit Motor Vehicles took the road as the symbolic underdogs of this year's postseason, looking to knock off the Jackoffs and keep their inaugural postseason appearance going. But at Astroglide Park, the pressure cooker was always turned to full blast, and Detroit could not take the heat and crumbled early, allowing four Jackoffs to cross the plate in the first inning alone as Detroit would never see a chance to even get close to the lead. Jacksonville would go on to win 7-2 and to pull within one game of the Motor Vehicles in the series. In something that spoke volumes about what had happened to Detroit in this game, Eric Battle struck out looking in his second at-bat, and an inning later, Detroit's hero from Game 1 was injured throwing a ball. Winston Ghandi (.364/0/1) drew two walks in the game and went 1-for-2 otherwise, with his first RBI of the postseason coming in this game. DETROIT 2, JACKSONVILLE 7 Detroit leads series 2-1 SCORING SUMMARY: JACKSONVILLE 1ST: Bruno Soto hit a sacrifice fly to right-center, Andrew Muscat scored; Shane Trask threw a wild pitch, Michael Barnes scored, Winston Ghandi singled to left-center, Matthew Laduke scored; Octavio Santos singled to the gap in left-center, Eugene Widrick scored.

Diagnosis: Ruptured Tricep Tendon. He is out for about 4 weeks. GAME 4 Alex Avalos (JAC) vs. Raul Alvarado (DET) Detroit scored 2 runs in the first inning, but Jacksonville had a response for that. Seemingly determined to get their fans to keep the Jackoffs from losing to first-timers Detroit, Jacksonville exploded for four runs in the fourth inning and five runs in the sixth inning. Putting it all together equaled a 12-4 thrashing of the Detroit Motor Vehicles, as the best-of-seven series was evened at two games a piece going into what would be the final game at Astroglide Park in the series. Winston Ghandi (.438/1/5) had a great day, earning Player of the Game honors and coming within a triple of the cycle as he went 3-for-5, driving in four runs and scoring once. He hit a two-run homerun in the fourth inning and hit a sixth inning double with one man on and two outs. Alex Avalos wasn't having a very good day in the fifth inning and already having given up four runs. Reuben Sanders then came up for the DMV and changed Avalos for the worst. A line drive right back to the mound gave Alex no time to react, as he was struck in the forehead with the line drive. Avalos fell to the ground as Sanders beat out an infield hit. Alex suffered a concussion and nothing more, fortunately. DETROIT 4, JACKSONVILLE 12 Series tied 2-2 SCORING SUMMARY: DETROIT 1ST: Gregorio Perez doubled to left-center, Jayson Hudock scored; Josh Wisley grounded out to the second baseman, Perez scored. JACKSONVILLE 3RD: Octavio Santos grounded out to the shortstop, James Baucom scored. JACKSONVILLE 4TH: Winston Ghandi homered to right-center, Bruno Soto scored; Octavio Santos grounded into a fielder's choice to the first baseman, Eugene Widrick scored; Stephen Chiswick doubled to right, Santos scored.

Diagnosis: Concussion. He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take one week. GAME 5 Andrew Fasquelle (JAC) vs. Jayce Ross (DET) In a game where the only run that Detroit scored came on a wild pitch from Andrew Fasquelle, the starting pitcher for the Jackoffs, there was bound to be something going wrong. Sure enough, Jacksonville smothered Detroit, winning its third consecutive game and sweeping the games at Astroglide Park as they marched to an easy 9-1 victory over the Detroit Motor Vehicles. Andrew Fasquelle was within one out of a complete game, but had pitched 125 pitches which was more than enough for him. Harry Mckern retired the final out with a two pitch at-bat. Bruno Soto was the star though, as just like the Columbus/Houston game, another player batted a 1.000. Soto went 4-for-4, also drawing a walk like Nathan Smith and scoring one run while driving in three. Soto didn't come close to the cycle like Smith, but did hit a solo homerun in the third inning off Jayce Ross. Winston Ghandi (.389/1/5) went 0-for-2, and was ejected after striking out in his second at-bat. The Jackoff coach was less than pleased with this ejection, but Soto redeemed the coach with the solo homerun as the very next batter.

GAME 6 Herbert Paredes (JAC) vs. Shane Trask (DET) What started as a dream for the Detroit Motor Vehicles is now nothing more than a distant memory. After debuting in the postseason for the first time in the franchise's history, Detroit was defeated quite easily by the Jacksonville Jackoffs on this night, going down 7-4 as Jacksonville won the series four games to two, sticking the stake in the heart of the DMV in their home. Fresh off of his ejection in Game 5, Winston Ghandi (.364/2/7) returned and finished off Detroit with a 1-for-4 performance, scoring twice and driving in two runs with his two-run homerun in the fifth inning. Trask would soon after leave the game, as he went to 0-2 while Herbert Paredes had a great game, leaving in the eighth inning and finishing with a 2-0 record going into the Conference Championship.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted September 14, 2004 PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM VS SEATTLE FRASIERS 2018 SFBL EAST-WEST CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 1 Kristofer Mcnamar (PHI) vs. Jose Ayala (SEA) Mcnamar only allowed four hits in eight innings of work, as Philadelphia was able to put together a two-RBI single from Merlin Mcknight and an RBI single from Jerrold Mauder in the seventh inning to overcome the Frasiers in Game 1 of the Conference Championship Series between the two teams. Edward James (.320/2/4) went 1-for-5 in the game, having a below average day as his batting average has sunk slightly from his performance today. RJ Frost (.281/2/7) got the short end of the stick as well, finishing the game hitless in four at-bats. In fact, the only Frasier who provided much of an offensive spurt was Hiderou Tanzan, the #9 hitter in the lineup and yet the only person able to get multiple hits off Kristofer Mcnamar today, including a two-run homerun that brought Seattle to within one run of the defending East-West Conference Champions. Unfortunately for Seattle, Luciano Rovira came on in the ninth inning and shut down the Frasiers, ending the game for his first save of the postseason. The other starter for tonight's game, Jose Ayala, was finished after allowing the three runs in the seventh inning to the Freedom. All told, he gave up eight hits in six and one-thirds innings of work, walking and striking out three batters each. Jared Yerby and William Walker, who are the batting leaders for the Freedom in this postseason, both went 3-for-5, but Walker came up empty in all the other stats; Yerby himself was only able to cross the plate once. Yerby and Walker have batting averages of .385 and .435, respectively. PHILADELPHIA 3, SEATTLE 2 Philadelphia leads series 1-0 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 7TH: Merlin Mcknight singled to right, Tarren Quick and Jared Yerby scored. SEATTLE 8TH: Hiderou Tanzan homered to right-center, Dan Downey scored. WP - Kristofer Mcnamar (1-1, 8 IP, 4 HA, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 Ks) LP - Jose Ayala (0-1, 6 1/3 IP, 8 HA, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 Ks) S - Luciano Rovira (1) Time of Game: 3 hours, 8 minutes Player of the Game: Kristofer Mcnamar (6.30 postseason ERA) Notes: None. GAME 2 Peter Kostka (PHI) vs. George Alongi (SEA) Unlike the first game of the series, Seattle decided that they would be the team to strike first blood, and they did it early in the game, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning. That lead held, but Seattle could never build on it as Kostka learned from his mistakes and held Seattle scoreless leading up to his departure in the eighth inning. In the top half of that very same inning, Philadelphia squared up the game at two runs a piece when Jed Goude brought home Merlin Mcknight and Edward James with a single to left field. Kostka was too tired to continue and take credit for what could be a potential victory, however, and was left with a no-decision after seven innings of very solid work. It was Robert Statler and the Freedom bullpen who took over from there, as Statler pitched a perfect bottom of the eighth inning. And then, much to the chagrin of the sell-out crowd in Microsoft Field, Jared Yerby sliced a single down the left field line, scoring Jess James from second as the eventual game-winning run as Philadelphia swept Seattle in their first two games at home, taking Game 2 by the final score of 3-2 and going up two games to zero in the best of seven series to determine the North-South Conference Champion. Seattle attempted a comeback in the ninth inning against Luciano Rovira, and got runners on first and second with one out, but both David Shiras and Hiderou Tanzan swung for the fences and came up with two flyballs for and two very easy outs as Philadelphia was able to complete the comeback. Rovira picked up his second save of the postseason, in the meantime. Edward James (.345/2/4) went 2-for-4 in the game, hitting a double in the eighth inning that would later result in him crossing the plate as the tying run. RJ Frost (.278/2/7) had another 1-for-4 day, in which he did pretty much nothing. Jared Yerby was awarded player of the game honors as he became the first player on his team to cross the 10-RBI mark in the postseason. PHILADELPHIA 3, SEATTLE 2 Philadelphia leads series 2-0 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 1ST: Santi Alfonso singled to center, Gilles Godinez scored; Oscar Ortiz grounded out to the shortstop, Jorge Monarrez scored. PHILADELPHIA 8TH: Jed Goude singled to left, Merlin Mcknight and Edward James scored. PHILADELPHIA 9TH: Jared Yerby singled to left, Jess James scored.

GAME 3 Tipsy Gesner (SEA) vs. Ben Joos (PHI) As the series moved to the Stadium of Independence, Tipsy Gesner and the Seattle Frasiers hoped that they could get back on the right track and, in the least, try to avoid a sweep. But Philadelphia was relentless, as Edward James brutalized Seattle's pitching en route to a 10-8 victory. Eddy J (.394/4/10) went 3-for-4 in the game, driving in six runs and scoring three times himself. He hit two homeruns in the game, a two-run homerun in the third inning and a HUGE grand slam homerun in the fourth inning, as James quickly became the second member of the Freedom to cross the 10 RBI mark. After his last at-bat resulted in a walk, the fans gave Edward James a standing ovation for his performance. RJ Frost (.268/3/9) deserves some kudos as well, however, as he hit a two-run homerun in the eighth inning, his only hit of the game in five at-bats. Philadelphia now has a chance to close out the series early with Game 4 in the Stadium of Independence. SEATTLE 8, PHILADELPHIA 10 Philadelphia leads series 3-0 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Kole Botting doubled to left, Jerrold Mauder scored. SEATTLE 3RD: Jorge Monarrez doubled to right, Gilles Godinez scored; Oscar Ortiz singled to center, Monarrez scored. PHILADELPHIA 3RD: Jared Yerby tripled to right, Tarren Quick scored; Edward James homered to right, Yerby scored.

GAME 4 Jose Ayala (SEA) vs. Kristofer Mcnamar (PHI) Thanks to a clutch 2 RBI triple in the eighth inning from Jorge Monarrez, Seattle was able to avoid a four-game sweep from the Philadelphia Freedom, as the three-run dong lifted them over the Freedom by a final score of 6-4, cutting Philadelphia's lead in the series to only two games, but with the potential for one more chance for Philadelphia to end the series at home in the Stadium of Independence. The game-winning triple was the second hit of the game from Monarrez, but obviously the most important. RJ Frost (.261/3/9) went 1-for-5, scoring once after hitting a double in the 2nd inning. Edward James (.351/4/10) calmed down after his Game 3 explosion, going 0-for-4 in this game, as Jose Ayala and the Seattle bullpen simply had Philadelphia's number on this day.

GAME 5 George Alongi (SEA) vs. Peter Kostka (PHI) Seattle was able to dodge the elimination bullet once again, as they handled Peter Kostka's pitching and were able to escape with a 5-2 win, leaving Philadelphia with a one game advantage in the series, three games to two. Hiderou Tanzan was the player of the game, as he hit a very big two run homerun in the seventh inning that contributed to the Frasiers hanging on to the lead late in the game and eventually winning. RJ Frost (.286/3/9) actually had a good game, going 2-for-3 with one walk and a run scored. Frost hit a double in the seventh inning and would eventually be brought home, which was the last straw for Peter Kostka. Edward James (.317/4/11) continues to struggle along after his explosive Game 3. He went hitless, but was able to sacrifice a run home to count for an RBI. SEATTLE 5, PHILADELPHIA 2 Philadelphia leads series 3-2 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 1ST: Edward James grounded out to the second baseman, Jared Yerby scored.

GAME 6 Ben Joos (PHI) vs. Tipsy Gesner (SEA) Philadelphia fans were less than happy with the news of how their team did in Seattle in the sixth game of the Conference Championship. The Freedom once again dropped the ball, letting Seattle make a late comeback and winning 4-3 as Philadelphia seemed powerless to stop the Frasiers, who just kept making comebacks with seemingly no resistance from the Freedom defense. Edward James (.326/4/11) went 2-for-5 for Philly, but was caught stealing for the third time in the postseason. RJ Frost (.264/3/9) was not the catalyst of the Seattle comeback, as he went hitless in this game. Dan Downey hit the heroic 8th inning homerun that eventually was the game-winner, the solo shot going off a pitch from Bennie Rubalcaba as the Frasiers forced a game seven and a choke from Philadelphia seemed inevitable. PHILADELPHIA 3, SEATTLE 4 Series tied 3-3 SCORING SUMMARY: SEATTLE 3RD: Oscar Ortiz was walked, Gilles Godinez scored.

GAME 7 Box Score Game Log COLUMBUS PRIDE VS JACKSONVILLE JACKOFFS 2018 SFBL NORTH-SOUTH CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 1 Andrew Fasquelle (JAC) vs. Nigel McClain (COL) The defending SFBL champions built an early lead, but their defense and the pitching of Nigel McClain couldn't make it stick. An early 4-0 lead after three innings was erased in the top of the fourth by the Jackoffs as they went on to an 8-7 victory in Game 1 of the North-South Conference Championship, fighting off a late comeback from the Pride. To Nigel's credit, the defense had to take some of the blame in the swift comeback that Jacksonville mounted. Of the six runs that McClain gave up in his four and one-thirds of work, only two of them were earned. An error in the outfield from leftfielder John Scherfenberg started a vicious chain that resulted in the four-run fourth inning for Jacksonville, highlighted by a bases-loaded double from James Baucom that unloaded the bases. However, Nigel allowed a two-run homerun to Matthew Laduke in the very next inning, and the Columbus pitching coach had seen enough, giving him the hook after a very disappointing outing. Andrew Fasquelle wasn't as dominating as he has been so far in the postseason, but he was able to last six innings, leaving the game when Jacksonville was clearly in the lead, despite allowing six runs--all of them earned--on eleven hits from the Pride. Fasquelle threw 123 pitches in those six innings, sixty-eight of them for strikes. Keith Pilkenton stopped the bleeding considerably, and by the time Rafael Calderon hit the mound in the late stages of the eighth inning, the comeback had been stifled and Calderon marched on to his second save of the postseason. Winston Ghandi (.346/2/7) drew a walk as a part of his 1-for-4 day, while Jonathan Dehn was able to slap home a run with his lone hit of the game. Dehn also stole his fourth base of the series in this game. The true stars of the game, of course, were James Baucom and Matthew Laduke, who both drove in three runs. Laduke was considered the player of the game due to his two homeruns in the game, including the two-run homerun that sent McClain to the showers. JACKSONVILLE 8, COLUMBUS 7 Jacksonville leads series 1-0 SCORING SUMMARY: COLUMBUS 2ND: Harry Clingenpeel was thrown out at second by the centerfielder while trying to stretch a double into a triple, Neall Isaacson, Ben Cruz and Michael Lingler all scored. COLUMBUS 3RD: Nathan Smith doubled to left-center, John Scherfenberg scored.

GAME 2 Harry Mckern (JAC) vs. Felix Rodas (COL) Columbus was able to build an early lead once again, and this time, Felix Rodas was able to make it stay put for the Pride. He and Lemarcus Cooper combined for nine solid innings of shutout baseball, with Rodas allowing seven hits and Cooper allowing none as Columbus went on to an easy 8-0 victory. A solo homerun from Neall Isaacson and a two-run homerun from Michael Lingler, both in the second inning, got Columbus off to a good start. From there, Columbus just drove the stake home in the heart of Jacksonville, adding five runs in the bottom of the eighth as the game ended in a wash for the Pride. Winston Ghandi (.300/2/7) had a rare walkless day, as he also went hitless in each of his four at-bats. Ghandi's bad day was compounded by an error at shortstop. Jonathan Dehn (.237/0/2) has been having a famine rather than a feast lately, as he went hitless as well in three at-bats. JACKSONVILLE 0, COLUMBUS 8 Series tied 1-1 SCORING SUMMARY: COLUMBUS 2ND: Neall Issacson homered to right; Michael Lingler homered to left, Ben Cruz scored. COLUMBUS 8TH: Nathan Smith grounded into a fielder's choice to the shortstop, Harry Clingenpeel scored; Ben Cruz was walked, Ken Coutu scored; David Zearge doubled to left, Smith, Neall Issacson and Ben Cruz scored.

GAME 3 Yosy Valdez (COL) vs. Manuel Chao (JAC) Columbus broke the tie in the Conference Championship series in a very convincing way. The Pride dominated Jacksonville, winning 21-3 in an absolute blowout in which seven of Columbus' nine starters drove in at least one run. Jonathan Dehn (.227/1/3) was one of those seven starters, as he went 1-for-6 with two runs scored, one RBI and a walk. Dehn hit a solo homerun to leadoff what would be a supremely high-scoring game for the Ohio team. Fun fact: Both of the starters for Columbus who did not drive in an RBI were actually injured during the game. Ben Cruz was hit by a pitch and Michael Lingler injured himself running the bases, two very key losses to Columbus in this series.

Diagnosis: Inflamed Thigh Muscle. He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take 1-2 weeks. GAME 4 Nigel McClain (COL) vs. Andrew Fasquelle (JAC) By the time the second inning was over with, the scoring was too. Jacksonville scored three runs on Nigel early, and Columbus responded with a big five run second inning, and in the end, that was all that was left in the scoring tanks of these two teams, as the 5-3 score at the end of two innings was the score at the end of nine innings. Nigel was able to hunker down and finish his start with six and two-thirds innings completed, allowing three earned runs on five hits, while striking out five and walking six batters. In this game were something was just enough to be everything, Jonathan Dehn (.245/1/5) emerged as the hero for Columbus, as his 2-RBI double in the 2nd inning was a good portion of that offensive outburst. Dehn would later steal a base in a game and collect another hit en route to representing himself as a run scored. Yes, the offense was pretty much non-existent in a game dominated by pitching...once the first two innings were over. Columbus now has a chance to end the series with Game 5, the final game in Astroglide Park and perhaps the final game of the North-South Conference Championship. COLUMBUS 5, JACKSONVILLE 3 Columbus leads series 3-1 SCORING SUMMARY: JACKSONVILLE 1ST: Winston Ghandi singled to center, Octavio Santos scored; Bruno Soto singled to right-center, Eugene Widrick scored. COLUMBUS 2ND: Harry Clingenpeel singled to left-center, David Zearge scored; Jonathan Dehn doubled to left, Michael Lingler and Harry Clingenpeel scored; John Scherfenberg homered to right, Dehn scored.

GAME 5 Felix Rodas (COL) vs. Harry Mckern (JAC) Columbus had a return to the SFBL Championship in mind, and it was definitely in sight. With an 8-3 lead going into the seventh inning stretch, things seemed wrapped up. Within two innings, however, Jacksonville came alive and lit up the Columbus bullpen for six runs, stealing a victory from under the nose of the Pride as they went on to win, putting the series at three games to two as the series was set to return to Applewhite Field. After his "Player of the Game" efforts in the last game, Dehn (.241/2/8) did almost the same thing he did in the last game, going 1-for-5. He hit a big 3-run homerun in the seventh inning, which was unfortunately not the stake in the heart of Jacksonville that everyone on the Pride side hoped that it was. Winston Ghandi (.289/2/8), meanwhile, went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and two more walks to make up for his slump in the base on balls department as of late. Some conspirators are already leaking out word that they are losing faith in Columbus, because if they should lose Game 6, the fate of the Pride's chances of defending the SFBL title would be resting on the shoulders of Nigel McClain, who has been less than reliable in this entire season, much like the rest of the Columbus pitching staff, with some brief exceptions. COLUMBUS 8, JACKSONVILLE 9 Columbus leads series 3-2 SCORING SUMMARY: COLUMBUS 2ND: Michael Lingler singled to right, Ben Cruz scored.

GAME 6 Alex Avalos (JAC) vs. Yosy Valdez (COL) David Zearge dominated the Jacksonville Jackoffs with two homeruns, but unfortunately, they were only solo homeruns, which was unfortunate as it was not enough to knock off the Jackoffs, as Jacksonville forced a Game 7 with a 5-3 victory over the Pride, ensuring that Columbus would have to win dramatically at Applewhite Field. Winston Ghandi (.341/2/9) had a great day, going 3-for-3, scoring three times and driving in...one run. Ghandi hit two doubles on the day, and also drew yet another walk. Jonathan Dehn (.224/2/8) was in famine mode once again, as he went hitless.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Ah, the Pride is back to normal. Too bad; I was hoping I'd get to pitch against my old team. IIRC, I believe the Pride lost a game 7 a few years ago 23-2 or something like that (I was on that team), so this isn't the first time they embarassed themselves.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted September 14, 2004 PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM VS JACKSONVILLE JACKOFFS 2018 SFBL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 1 Peter Kostka (PHI) vs. Herbert Paredes (JAC) For the 40,000-plus fans who packed themselves into Astroglide Park for the opening game of the SFBL Championship, it didn't take long for them to get happy. Bruno Soto's solo homerun in the bottom of the first inning gave Jacksonville a 1-0 lead. In the very next half-inning, however, Herbert Paredes felt the wrath of the Freedom. When it was all said and done, four hits had resulted in five runs for Philadelphia, and the Freedom were on the fast track to what ended up being a 9-4 victory for the East-West Conference Champions. Peter Kostka was in the game until the seventh inning for the Freedom, at which point Kirk Plucker came on in relief. They both had similar outings, giving up two earned runs each, while Kostka gave up five hits and Plucker gave up three. They both also gave up a homerun. Paredes, on the other hand, was unable to finish the fourth inning. He took his first loss of the postseason by allowing six runs--all of them earned--on seven hits. Edward James (.364/6/19) has now established himself as an offensive powerhouse for the Freedom in the postseason, as he went 3-for-5, scoring once and driving in five runs, including a bases-loaded double in the second inning that resulted in three of the five runs in that inning. James would later hit a solo homerun in the ninth inning. Jared Yerby, meanwhile, continues to have a great postseason, going 3-for-5, scoring three times and driving in one run. His batting average in the postseason improves to .475, with one homerun and fifteen RBI. Winston Ghandi was unable to draw a walk on this day, but did go 1-for-4 with his only hit being a two-run homerun in the ninth inning in a last ditch effort from the Jackoffs to try to make some kind of comeback, which was obviously in vain. PHILADELPHIA 9, JACKSONVILLE 4 Philadelphia leads series 1-0 SCORING SUMMARY: JACKSONVILLE 1ST: Bruno Soto homered to left. PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Al Reineri grounded into a fielder's choice to the third baseman, Jerrold Mauder scored; Jared Yerby singled to left, Kole Botting scored; Edward James doubled to right, Reineri, Yerby, and Merlin Mcknight scored. PHILADELPHIA 4TH: Edward James singled to center, Jared Yerby scored. PHILADELPHIA 5TH: Kole Botting homered to left-center. JACKSONVILLE 5TH: Stephen Chiswick grounded into a fielder's choice to the first baseman, Eugene Widrick scored. PHILADELPHIA 6TH: Merlin Mcknight singled to center, Jared Yerby scored. PHILADELPHIA 9TH: Edward James homered to right-center. JACKSONVILLE 9TH: Winston Ghandi homered to right, Matthew Laduke scored. WP - Peter Kostka (2-1, 6 2/3 IP, 5 HA, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 Ks) LP - Herbert Paredes (2-1, 3 2/3 IP, 7 HA, 6 ER, 2 BB, 2 Ks) Time of Game: 3 hours, 27 minutes Player of the Game: Edward James (3-for-5, R, 5 RBI, 2B, solo homerun in ninth inning) Notes: None. GAME 2 Ben Joos (PHI) vs. Alex Avalos (JAC) Jacksonville fans feared the worst when Philadelphia lit up Alex Avalos for three runs in the top of the first inning, but Jacksonville kept hopes up with two runs in the very next half-inning. After the Freedom and the Jackoffs both scored one run in the next two innings, both of the starting pitchers cracked down. Unfortunately for Jacksonville, the three runs they managed in the first three innings were the only runs that they were able to accumulate, as Philadelphia took a 4-3 victory and swept Jacksonville in the first two games at Astroglide Park, taking a two games to none advantage in the SFBL Championship Series. The Freedom's batting order was moved around to reflect Alex Avalos' left-handed pitching, but Philadelphia was able to work around it with mild success. Jared Yerby went hitless, dropping his batting average in the postseason to .444. After his big Game 1, Edward James (.356/6/19) performed on a much smaller scale in Game 2, going 1-for-4 while scoring once. James also stole his fourth base of the season during the game. The three runs in the top of the first for Philly came off the bat of William Walker, who slammed a three-run homerun with one out in the inning. Jess James was the only other member of the Freedom to drive in a run in this game. Winston Ghandi's (.360/4/15) only hit was a double that eventually led to him scoring, as he went 1-for-3 with yet another walk. PHILADELPHIA 4, JACKSONVILLE 3 Philadelphia leads series 2-0 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 1ST: William Walker homered to left-center, Edward James and Merlin Mcknight scored. JACKSONVILLE 1ST: Bruno Soto homered to left-center, Michael Barnes scored. PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Jess James singled to left, Al Reineri scored. JACKSONVILLE 3RD: Jerrold Mauder allowed a passed ball, Winston Ghandi scored. WP - Ben Joos (2-0, 6 IP, 7 HA, 3 ER, 4 BB, 6 Ks) LP - Alex Avalos (1-1, 5 IP, 9 HA, 4 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks) S - Luciano Rovira (4) Time of Game: 3 hours, 37 minutes Player of the Game: William Walker (2-for-4, R, 3 RBI, 2B, 3-run homerun in the first inning) Notes: None. GAME 3 Andrew Fasquelle (JAC) vs. Kristofer Mcnamar (PHI) Many Jacksonville fans took the trek to the Stadium of Independence to cheer on the Jackoffs as they began their three-game stretch in Philadelphia that might not last to the end of the three days, as Jacksonville was already down two games to none in the series. Unfortunately, even with the fan support, Philadelphia had the lead after three innings and then just ruined a perfectly acceptable start from Andrew Fasquelle by slamming him for six runs in the seventh inning, as Philadelphia pulled away and cruised to an easy 10-2 victory in Game 3, meaning that Philadelphia would have the chance to be the sweeper instead of the sweepee should they win Game 4 tomorrow in Philly. Last year, Philadelphia was swept in the SFBL Championship by the Columbus Pride, who ironically lost to Jacksonville in the North-South Conference Championship in seven games. Winston Ghandi (.396/4/16) had a mighty fine day, but it was all for naught. His 3-for-3 performance featured a double in the sixth inning and one RBI, but it was not nearly enough to topple the Freedom. Ghandi was also caught stealing for the first time in the postseason. It was not Edward James (.339/6/20) who emerged as the hero on Philadelphia's side either, as he went 0-for-3 but was able to get an RBI on a sacrifice for his twentieth RBI of the postseason. The true man of the hour was Jerrold Mauder, who went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four runs driven in. Mauder hit a double in the second inning with one man on, but his true scoring opportunity came when he hit a grand slam homerun in the big seventh inning for Philadelphia, driving in all four of his RBI. JACKSONVILLE 2, PHILADELPHIA 10 Philadelphia leads series 3-0 SCORING SUMMARY: JACKSONVILLE 1ST: Matthew Laduke stole second, catcher Jerrold Mauder commited a throwing error, Laduke went to third and Andrew Muscat scored. PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Al Reineri singled to left-center, William Walker and Jerrold Mauder scored. JACKSONVILLE 3RD: Winston Ghandi singled to center, Matthew Laduke scored. PHILADELPHIA 3RD: William Walker doubled to left, Merlin Mcknight scored. PHILADELPHIA 5TH: Edward James flied out to right-center, Jared Yerby scored. PHILADELPHIA 7TH: Merlin Mcknight singled to left, Al Reineri scored; Jerrold Mauder homered to left-center, William Walker, Mcknight, and Jared Yerby scored; Jed Goude homered to right-center. WP - Kristofer Mcnamar (3-1, 6 2/3 IP, 5 HA, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 Ks) LP - Andrew Fasquelle (3-2, 7 IP, 10 HA, 10 ER, 3 BB, 5 Ks) S - Jeff Mclean (1) Time of Game: 3 hours, 9 minutes Player of the Game: Jerrold Mauder (2-for-4, 2 R, 4 RBI, 2B, grand slam homerun in the seventh inning) Notes: None. GAME 4 Herbert Paredes (JAC) vs. Peter Kostka (PHI) Peter Kostka was having a mighty fine game until that dastardly seventh inning rolled around. Kostka was unable to get a single out in the seventh inning, as Jacksonville exploded for five runs in the inning when the smoke cleared. Having scored one run earlier in the sixth inning, Jacksonville took a 6-2 for a rare lead in a game in this series. Philadelphia's late comeback was stifled just in time, and Jacksonville avoided a sweep with a 6-5 victory over the Freedom in Game 4, forcing at least one more game in the Stadium of Independence tomorrow. In the seventh inning, Kostka (2-2, 3.79 ERA) allowed a leadoff double to Winston Ghandi and then intentionally walked Eugene Widrick to set up a force situation. Unfortunately for Peter, James Baucom singled to center, bringing in Ghandi. Octavio Santos was the next batter, and he laced a double down the left field line to score Widrick and Baucom. Kostka was then removed from the game for Jeff Mclean. Santos crossed the plate later in the inning, leaving Kostka with five runs earned in his outing on eight hits. Going into the sixth inning when Jacksonville first scored, they had only managed three hits off Peter. Herbert Paredes had a much better game compared to the first game of the series, as he allowed only two earned runs on seven hits from the Freedom, eventually leaving in the eighth inning after Jacksonville had managed to comeback and build a solid lead on Philly. Winston Ghandi (.404/4/16) improved his batting average over .400 with a 2-for-4 day, including the aforementioned double in the seventh inning that later resulted in him scoring his one and only run of the day. Edward James (.348/6/20) also went 2-for-4, but had absolutely nothing to show for it except for his fourth stolen base of the postseason. Unfortunately, James also committed two errors at the third base position, making it a bittersweet day for Eddy J. JACKSONVILLE 6, PHILADELPHIA 5 Philadelphia leads series 3-1 SCORING SUMMARY: PHILADELPHIA 1ST: Jerrold Mauder singled to right-center, Merlin Mcknight scored. PHILADELPHIA 4TH: Al Reineri grounded into a 5-4-3 double play, Jed Goude scored. JACKSONVILLE 6TH: Bruno Soto grounded into a fielder's choice to the second baseman, Andrew Muscat scored. JACKSONVILLE 7TH: James Baucom singled to center, Winston Ghandi scored; Octavio Santos doubled to left, Eugene Widrick and Baucom scored; Michael Barnes grounded into a fielder's choice to the first baseman, Santos scored; Bruno Soto doubled to right, Barnes scored. PHILADELPHIA 9TH: Al Reineri singled to center, Jed Goude scored; Jared Yerby tripled to right, Reineri and Tarren Quick scored. WP - Herbert Paredes (3-1, 7 1/3 IP, 7 HA, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 Ks) LP - Peter Kostka (2-2, 6 IP, 8 HA, 5 ER, 1 BB, 1 K) S - Rafael Calderon (5) Time of Game: 3 hours, 12 minutes Player of the Game: Herbert Paredes (4.10 postseason ERA) Notes: None. GAME 5 Alex Avalos (JAC) vs. Ben Joos (PHI) In a series were scoring early and scoring big runs in any inning has been the key to victory, the keyhole to victory in Game 5 was simply scoring big runs in early innings. If that was the keyhole, then it was Philadelphia who eventually came up with the key. Scoring at least one run in each of the first four innings, including a three-run inning in the fourth inning, Philadelphia was able to score enough runs to counter an offensive burst from Jacksonville, and the pitching held somewhat steady for the next five innings as Philadelphia was able to accomplish what they could not do last year against the Columbus Pride: Win an SFBL Championship. Their 8-7 victory gave Philadelphia their first SFBL Championship in three trips to the final round--in 2010, they coincidentally lost to Jacksonville in seven games. And of course, in last year's final, they were swept by the Columbus Pride. But now there was plenty of joy to go around in the City of Brotherly Love, as celebrations quickly filled into the street after the game was concluded with Bruno Soto hitting a sharp grounder to first that resulted in a 3-6-3 double play to end the game. Soto ended the postseason with the most RBI of any player (22), but he went 0-for-4 in this final game with a walk to bring a disappointing end to an otherwise great postseason. Speaking of Jackoffs, Winston Ghandi (.390/4/16) had his average dip below .400 in the final game of the postseason, as he went 0-for-2, drawing two walks and scoring one run, but it wasn't one run enough to beat the one-run deficit they faced at the end of the game. Edward James (.324/6/20) also went hitless in five at-bats, scoring one run, stealing his fifth base of the postseason and getting caught for the fifth time as well. James also committed two errors at third again, but in the end, all is forgotten as Philadelphia captures an SFBL Championship. This is James first championship ring, in his first full season with the Philadelphia Freedom. James was traded from the Freedom--the team that drafted him--in mid-season 2007 to the Memphis Eels, and James then went to Las Vegas in 2013. Finally, he was traded back to Philadelphia in 2017, and now finds himself as the player with the most homeruns in this year's postseason (6), and also now sporting a nice ring on his finger. JACKSONVILLE 7, PHILADELPHIA 8 Philadelphia wins series 4-1 SCORING SUMMARY: JACKSONVILLE 1ST: Andrew Muscat homered to left; Eugene Widrick was thrown out at second by the leftfielder trying to stretch a double into a triple, Michael Barnes and Matthew Laduke scored. PHILADELPHIA 1ST: Kole Botting homered to right; Jed Goude singled to left, Edward James scored. PHILADELPHIA 2ND: Merlin Mcknight singled to center, Jared Yerby scored; Alex Avalos threw a wild pitch, Jess James scored. PHILADELPHIA 3RD: Jess James singled to left, Jerrold Mauder scored.
