Round 2    Mon JUN 16, 2008    #2  Miley   4   -   #3  GIRARD  2

While the Vikings were able to score their leadoff hitter, Daniel Lahare, to open the game, the Cardinals tripled their output and lead 3-1 after one full inning.  After the first stanza Miley had enough runs for the evening.  Girard only scored one more time, that one run coming in the top of the 4th inning. Tim O'Quinn went the distance for the Cardinals, pitching all five innings. He allowed two runs on three scattered hits. He did allow seven walks and his teammates committed three errors, but the Cardinals were able to overcome the 13 base runners and limit the Vikings to just two scores.  The Cardinals scored their 3 runs in the first inning on three walks and two base hits.  The big hit came from O'Quinn who drove in two runs with a double. The Vikings three hits were provided by Daniel Martinez, Barrett Juneau and Ben Harrison. By virtue of a loss Girard falls into the losers bracket and plays again on Wednesday. Miley remains in the winner's bracket and will play Pontiff on Tuesday. 

Round 1    Fri JUN 13, 2008    #3  GIRARD  12  -   #6  Cleary   11

In what was clearly the longest game of the season so far, lasting almost 3 full hours, the Vikings pulled a victory from the jaws of defeat in a game many thought would never end.  It was a wild and wooly affair that saw seven different pitchers come to the mound; with 23 runs and 21 hits recorded. The game used at least a dozen new baseballs and kept spectators on the edge of their seats late into the night, long after the rest rooms had their lights go dark from the automatic timer.  The Rebels had a huge 4th inning after facing good Girard pitching for the first 3 innings.  In the 4th, when the Vikings finally got the 3rd out, Cleary had scored 9 runs. The lead was looking pretty good to the Rebels, that is until the bottom of the 5th, when Girard tallied 7 runs to add to the 4 they got in the fourth inning.  Cory Barnes came on in relief of Colin Leroux in the 6th, and gave up an opening single and a hit batter. With 2 on and no one out, Cory bore down and got a ground ball to force the lead runner out at 3B, and two fly balls to close out the inning and the threat. The outcome of the game turned on an opening base-on-balls issued to Zac Lange in the bottom of the 6th. He was bunted to second by Barrett Juneau. With two-out, Gage Weisdorffer came through with a single to right to score the game winning run. The offensive leaders for Girard were Daniel Lahare (2 for 4); Daniel Martinez (2 for 2); and Cory Barnes (3 for 4).  The Rebels had three hitters with 2 hits - Dale Smith (2 for 3); Frank Denny (2 for 4); and Ross Budenski (2 for 4).

Gm3   Tue MAY 27, 2008     GIRARD  4  -  Delta  3

Girard (7-3) began well, getting 4 runs in the top of the first inning.  Patrick Morton started for Delta and was throwing hard, striking out two Vikings, but giving five bases-on-balls before being relieved by his twin, Jordan.  Jordan stopped the bleeding, allowing three scattered hits while fanning seven in the next 4 innings.  In the meantime, the Eagles began climbing back, scoring one run in the first and one in the second. Then Delta scored again in the 4th, making it 4-3.  A key pick-off play in the bottom of the 4th by Ben Harrison, the Viking pitcher, saved the day. The base runner had reached second base and two hitters later, after the pick-off, Josh Ansardi dropped a single in the outfield that would most surely have scored the tying run from second, if not for the important pick.  Harrison reached the maximum pitch limit and was relieved by Evan Chacon. Harrison is credited with the win for Girard. Delta out hit Girard 4-3, (there's that game score again). The bottom half of the Eagle line-up did the damage with Gage McGuyer, Jason Cooper (with a double), Devin Beham and Josh Ansardi, getting the base hits.  Girard's three hits came from Cory Barnes, Matt Calcote, and Evan Chacon.
