The “R”‘s have it.
The River City Rockers eliminated the defending champions, TNT of South Lebanon, Pennsylvania, 8-0, in a 5 inning run-shortened game. The Rockers jumped on pitcher Rob Fawcett for four runs in the first on five hits, added another in the second and put the game away with three more in the third. Rob Penticoff continued to swing a hot bat, going 3 for 4 in the game with 4 RBI, including a two-out, three-run triple to clear the bases in the third inning, that ran the score to 8-0. Pitcher Bryan Newton picked up his third win against one loss.
Rude Pac eliminated Herda & Sons, 2-1, behind the stellar pitching of Greg “Spud” Barker.
