More details on the SCIFL Championship Games in Ventura:
From the SCIFL News blog:
Ventura A-Major Championship Game
“A-Major†Championship Game
San Diego Primetime – 5, Rude-Pac – 4 (14 Innings)The game had Rob Davis of Rude-Pac facing off against Mitch Mendenhal of Primetime. Primetime scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning on a Mike York double. ude-Pac came right back in the top of the second with Ruben Lopez opening the inning up with a triple and scoring on a single by Jose “Paco†Hernandez. Paco then came around to score on a signal by Javier Fierro to tie the game.
The score remained scoreless for the next eight innings with both pitchers and defenses getting out of jams, including three innings of using the International Tie Breaker. Some of the highlights during this time:
Quick news from Ventura…
June 25th, 2007Latin Heat wins the A championship game over the So Cal Hustlers with Gilbert Joiner coming in relief of Cecillo Smalling to halt the seventh inning Hustler rally and leave the tying run at third base to seal a 3 – 2 victory.
In the A-Major championship game, which took over 3 hours to complete, it was San Diego Primetime coming up with the last run in the bottom of the fourteenth inning to edge Rude-Pac. Mitch Mendenhal of Primetime and Rob Davis of Rude-Pac both went the distance in the circle. While the drive back home was always in the back of my mind, this was an excellent game to watch as both teams kept coming up with great plays to keep it going.
