The So Cal Bombers, fresh off of their exciting, extra inning 5-4 win over # 3 ranked Broken Bow, will have to face # 2 Patsy’s of New York tonight, following Patsy’s 7-0 run rule loss to the Kitchener Riversharks. The Bombers’ only loss came at the hands of Patsy’s in their third game of the tournament, a 13-2 shellacking which included seven home runs by the New York club. The turn of events will force the Bombers to choose between a more rested Lucas Mata — who surrendered 10 of the runs to Patsy’s the other night, or veteran Marty Grant, who has pitched very well, but more innings than Mata, including a 1-0 win yesterday and most of the 5-4 win today.
The game is scheduled for 7pm central, 5pm California time, but due to the earlier Bombers-Bow game running long, the games are behind schedule. The scheduled 5pm game between Aspen and The Farm Tavern is just getting underway a bit after 7pm, meaning the Bombers game is more likely to start at 9pm central, 7pm California time.
