Game
Notes:
So it was on to the semi-finals, against the East County Pirates, who had not played all day. Under the 90 degree skies, this 3rd game in 8 hours was just too much for the AC pitching and catching corps of Sean Atkins and Austin Wegdahl. The energetic Priates scored 9 runs in the 3rd inning to break a 2-2 tie, and costed to a 16-3 Mercy Rule victory. Branick Herold, Zac McDonald did well on the mound in relief of Wegdahl and Lovingfoss, and Lars Ertolacci did a credible job at catcher. At the end, right fielder Michael Bartel was warming up to make his first appearance of the year.
