Homecraft started quickly with 3 consecutive singles in the 1st inning by Brannon McHugh, DJ Thommes and Austin Coughenour, scoring Brannon and giving Homecraft a 1-0 lead. Henry Gise singled for Mattern in the bottom of the inning and with 2 outs, Zack Plasmier hit a shot to deep center that was destined to leave the park and give Mattern the lead. Instead, DJ Thommes leaped and stole the ball from mid-air preserving Homecraft's precarious 1-run lead. Feeding off of DJ's catch, Homecraft went on an offensive tear knocking out 5 hits and scoring 5 runs in the top of the 2nd. Quinn Cassidy lead off the 2nd with a single up the middle, followed by an RBI double to left field by Chris Carlson scoring Ryan Ifkovitz. Jimmy Connolly and Davis Jones then hit back to back singles, scoring Carlson and setting up men on 1st and 2nd for Brannon McHugh who proceeded to hit a 3-run bomb to left center to make it 6-1. Mattern got 1 back in the bottom of the 2nd on a solo shot by Matthew Gallagher which gave the Mattern a major boost. But, as Mattern was rallying with 2 men on and 2 outs, once again DJ Thommes came up with a big defensive save as Richie Windon smoked a "see ya" ball to deep left center that DJ snared before it had a chance to land and ended Mattern's rally. Homecraft tacked on another run in the top of the 3rd when Will Connolly led off the inning with a single, and was eventually driven home by an RBI single from Matty Arrabal. Mattern came back in the bottom of the 3rd with a run of their own on an RBI fielder's choice from Ian Lloyd knocking in Henry Gise. Mattern then added another run in the bottom of the 4th as Matty Schell started the inning off with a single and was driven home on a double by Scotty Davis, but once again Homecraft escaped without any further damage with a score of 7-3. In the top of the 5th, more defense came into play this time for Mattern. Jimmy Connolly and Davis Jones both singled for Homecraft with two outs bringing up Brannon McHugh who doubled to left center. Scotty Davis fielded the ball threw a bullet to Zach Plasmier who in turn threw a strike to catcher Richie Windon nailing Davis Jones at home. Mattern, however, wasn't able to turn the momentum back in their favor as Homecraft's Austin Coughenour came in to pitch a perfect 1-2-3 5th inning. Homecraft scored 2 insurance runs in the top of the 6th on Matty Arrabal's shot to center field plating DJ Thommes and Will Connolly who had both drawn walks. Mattern was able to put together a final rally in the bottom of the 6th as Matthew Hogan walked and scored on Richie Windon's double, but came up short as Austin Coughenour settled down, got the next two batters to end the rally and Homecraft won the 2009 Naamans Major League Championship. Homecraft congratulates Mattern on a great turnaround season and for a great battle in the championship series. Also, thanks to umpires Andy Sopirak, Don Sawyer and Brett Pierce for a superior job under tense conditions. * Wednesday, June 17, 2009 (Championship) Mattern 7 Homecraft 6 - The weather held out just long enough for Mattern to take game 2 of the Majors championship series by a score of 7-6 and tie the series at a game a piece. The game was scoreless until the top of the third when Matthew Schell drew a walk, Richie Windon reached on an error, Henry Gise walked and Zack Plasmier hit a bases clearing triple to give Mattern a 3-0 lead.

Homecraft battled back in the bottom of the 5th when Jim Connolly singled, Davis Jones walked and Brannon McHugh singled to left and knocked in 2 more runs. Mattern held a 7-3 lead as they entered the 6th inning but Homecraft would not lay down as they loaded the bases and scored 3 more runs but fell just short of the miracle comeback. Zack Plasmier pitched 5 strong innings for Mattern allowing just 3 runs on 4 hits and struck out 6. Scott Davis and Richie Windon handled the closing duties. Windon picked up the save by popping up the last batter in the bottom of the 6th to end the game with the bases loaded.

Homecraft scored 3 more insurance runs in the top of the 6th as Davis Jones belted a 3-run bomb to dead center putting the game away for good. Austin Coughenour came in to keep Mattern in check and help Brannon earn his second win of the playoffs. Ian Lloyd got on base all 3 times he batted, including a rocket double down the line, and Matthew Schell was solid out of the 9-hole adding two base knocks for Mattern. * Friday, June 12, 2009 Mattern 6 Mascelli 2 - Mascelli took a 1-0 lead in the top of 1st, but Mattern responded in the bottom when Henry Gise scored on a Zack Plasmier double to tie the game at 1-1.

AAA PLAYOFFS * Saturday, June 13, 2009 (Championship) Tiki Angels 6 Friendly Cubs 5 - The Tiki Angels captured the AAA crown by defeating the Friendly Gift Shop Cubs, 6-5 in a well- played, back-and-forth pitcher's duel. For the sixth straight game, Sam Barrett was the Angel starting pitcher, and for the sixth straight game he held the opposition in check - limiting the Cubs to 3 runs before passing the baton to Adam Reynolds with a no outs in the top of the third, and the Cubs' Peter Durgin on first. Reynolds threw bb's the rest of the way, hurling a spectacular 4 innings on a scant 58 pitches- giving up just one hit, striking out six, walking two, and with 38 of the 58 pitches going for strikes. Adam was supported by a strong Angel defense, led by the keystone combo of Caroline Silverman and Daniel Smith, who combined on a nifty 4-6 putout to erase Will Steenkamer at second with one out in the 4th, and traded assists in the 5th and 6th. The Angel offense was paced by the scorching Will Lundstrom , who followed up his 3-3 two RBI performance in the semi-finals with an equally perfect 2-2 3 RBI performance in the championship. Will wouldn't have had the RBI opportunities without Matt Rosenthal and Caroline Silverman being on base all six times they appeared at the plate. Each drew 3 walks and scored 2 times. Smith capped an outstanding playoff run of his own with a sharp single to center, after which he scored on a George Steinhoff fielder's choice. The Cubbies put up a fantastic effort in defeat. Starting pitcher Will Steenkamer whiffed 7 Angels and allowed just three hits, and reliever Austin Leshock yielded just one run over the final two frames. Leshcok received a huge assist from CF Will Borda, who turned Daniel Smith's sure double into a harmless out with a spectacular diving catch. The Cub batters were led by Jacob Meisel, whose first inning single to right plated Michael Minnick for the first Cubs run, and Matthew Greenley, who crushed a Reynolds heater to left for a standup double in the fifth. Leshock added an RBI on a fielder's choice. With the Angels clinging to a 6-5 lead in the top of the sixth, Reynolds calmly k'd the leadoff batter with a nasty changeup, and then induced a harmless two hopper back to the mound for out #2. As the Halo faithful started to rise, Adam fired one last fastball to the speedy Rhodunda, who slapped a troublesome-looking grounder up the middle, but SS Daniel Smith snared it off the short hop just shy of second base and flipped to Steinhoff at first before a pile of red jerseys rushed the mound to celebrate. Congratulations to the Cubs and Angels on a great game and a fantastic season. * Thursday, June 11, 2009 Tiki 6 YCST 5 - The Tiki Music Angels advanced to the AAA Championship Game with a nail biting 6-5 victory over the gritty YCST Tigers. Will Lundstrom paced Angel attack with three hits and a pair of RBIs, and Aaron Macha, Tommy Donofrio and Daniel Smith notched the other Angel hits. Angel pitchers Lundstrom, Donofrio, Sam Barrett, Adam Reynolds, and George Steinhoff combined to hold the Tigers to 5 runs, in large part due to some fine defensive work behind them. In the fourth, Macha ranged to the deepest corner of Heeney's rightfield to track down Ryan Maffia's towering blast to save runs, and in the sixth Lundstrom preserved a 5-5 tie by expertly blocking the plate on a tagout at home. Tiger pitchers Sam Skammer, Patrick Harkins, Ryan Maffia, Jeffrey Grantham and Noah NieKamp were just as effective as their Angel counterparts, limiting the Halos to a scant 6 hits - with a big assist from centerfielder Pedro de Souza Healy, who converted three Angel shots into harmless outs. The Tiger one-two punch of Jake Mottola and Luke Stirparo combined to reach base 5 of 6 times, and scored 4 of the 5 Tiger runs. Congratulations to both teams on fine seasons and a fantastic game.
