Sox Win National Championship!!
The Myrtle Beach White Sox put an exclamation point on what had already been an incredible season as they defeated the Denver Bears 4-2 Sunday to claim their 1st ever NABA National Championship. The team went 7-0 for the week defeating teams from Miami, Tennessee, New York (twice), Montreal Canada, and Denver (twice). The Sox were solid all week in every aspect as the offense and defense were sensational. However the story of the tourney was the Sox pitching staff which gave up only 13 runs during the 5 pool play games, and surrendered no more than 6 hits in any of those games. Pitchers Leonard Schlude, Phil Frischolz, Kenny Ryan, Austin Dooley, and Nick Tennant all recored victories during pool play with Jake Drew and Brooks Garris pitching some solid relief.
In the Sox win over Denver in the Championship game, Phil Frischolz pitched the complete game victory, giving up fourteen hits but pitching out of jam after jam, and getting great defensive support, particularly from third baseman Brooks Garris who turned two spectacular double plays to thwart Bears' rallies. Frischolz was selected as the game MVP, an emotional moment for him and the entire Myrtle Beach team. Phil's stepfather, who had intended to come to Florida to watch the tournament, is hospitalized with lymphoma.
Denver started aggressively with a run in the first innings when Denver manager and third baseman Joe Collins singled in Jason Ezell who had walked and reached second on an attempted double steal. Max Johnson had singled, stole second and third, but was cut down trying to steal home on the front end of that double steal.
Frischolz doubled home a run in the bottom of the inning, and Myrtle Beach added runs in the second, seventh and eighth innings, while Denver managed only one more in the top of the 8th. The Mile High team left twelve men on base and contributed to their own demise by committing five errors. The White Sox had eleven hits and played errorless baseball. Bob Diaz took the loss for Denver and also went all the way. Denver went 5-2 for the week.
Denver's Joe Collins led all hitters with four hits, one of them a double. Kasey Fink had three hits for Denver, one of them a triple. Austin Dooley had three singles and Frischolz had a double and single for the White Sox.
It has beeen a great season for the Sox as they finished 29-4 on the year. The Sox now look forward to receiving their World Series Championship rings during a special ceremony in February.
