I’m listening online so here are some updates.
7:27 – Middle of the second inning, the score is 0-0. Christian Friedrich couldn’t find the strike zone in the top of the second and loaded the bases but got out of it.
8:09 – Still scoreless (I think — they haven’t said a score in a while). Y-D starter Trevor Holder has struck out five and allowed only one hit.
8:19 – Christian Friedrich just got out of a tough jam in the top of the fifth by striking out Jason Castro and Gordon Beckham. Those are two very good hitters in a a very big spot, and Friedrich didn’t blink. Still no score. Sounds like a great game.
8:20 – Brett Graffy on for Friedrich in the top of the sixth. Still 0-0.
8:44 – Top of the seventh. No score.
8:50 – Trevor Holder still on the mound for Y-D. He’s allowed only one hit, and it was apparently a blooper.
9:00 – Falmouth put two on in the bottom of the seventh but Holder struck out Jeremy Farrell looking to end the inning.
9:04 – By the way, the link to listen is www.leaguestream.com
9:05 – A walk to Buster Posey and a double by Jason Castro puts runners on second and third for Y-D in the top of the eighth.
9:06 -Fireballer Luke Burnett on to face Gordon Beckham.
9:07 – Beckham strikes out. Still just one out. Intentional walk to Aaron Luna, loading the bases.
9:13 – Wow. A bases-loaded suicide squeeze against a gut with a 95-mph fastball. Nick Romero gets the bunt down. Buster Posey scores. 1-0 Y-D.
9:14 – Jason Castro scores on a passed ball. 2-0, top of the eighth.
9:20 – Falmouth gets out of the inning, but damage done. Y-D leads 2-0 and Holder is still pitching.
9:23 – 1-2-3 inning for Holder. To the ninth.
9:37 – No insurance. Still 2-0. Closer Nick Cassavechia on to finish it.
9:38 – Falmouth making things interesting. Phil Carey gets a one-out double.
9:40 – David Adams goes down swinging. Two outs. Aja Barto due up.
9:42 – Cassavechia strikes out Barto. Y-D wins it. Two straight titles. Three in four years. Recap coming very shortly.
