BULLS STOPPED IN 3RD ROUND OF PLAYOFFS
The Bulls made a valiant effort in the MSBL playoffs winning the first two single-elimination games against the Royals and Red Sox only to fall against the number one-seeded Astros in two straight games. Against the Royals, the Bulls had a difficult time scoring runs off of the lefty from the Royals. The game was suspended Sunday in the 6th inning because of rain with both teams locked 2-2 as Allan Ward held the Royals in check from the mound. On Wednesday, the teams resumed the suspended game and the Bulls scored 5 quick runs to close out the game 7-2. The second game of the evening brought on the Red Sox who scored their first run almost immediately but the Bulls then shut down the Red Sox offense behind solid pitching by Robert Mendez who pitched a complete 7-inning game giving up only one earned run along the way.
The 3rd round of the playoffs brought on the #1 seeded Astros on Sunday evening. Allan Ward again did his best to keep the Astros bats in check pitching 6 complete innings but solid hitting and unforced errors allowed them to escape with a 7-5 win. In game two, Robert Mendez took the mound pitching another complete 7-innings but the Bulls could not overcome the 10-5 deficit in the bottom of the 7th scoring only 3-runs to close the game at 10-8.

WINS NOT SO SCARCE
The Bulls have finally begun to find their rhythm on the field winning three of the last four games in competition. Much of the success can be attributed to hitters pulling out of slumps and timely hitting with runners in scoring position. Randall Buck, Robert Mendez and Rob Romero have all contributed with new success at the plate. This along with the consistent hitting by Dority, Harper, Austin and Bryant has brought the team out of the cellar in league standings. The Bulls are still giving away too many runs on errors and walks but pitching has begun to settle down with the return of Rick Downs and addition of Rob Romero to help off of the mound.
