In a game they never lead, Silverscreen fought back from a 3 run deficit in the third inning to score 3 in the 6th to tie the game and another 1 in the 7th to win the game, the series and the 2008 Western Cycle Source for Sports League Championship for the very first time in their history.       

The Hawks played like the first place team they were all year and kept battling all game. When they scored 1 run in three successive innings to start the game, it looked like they were going to even the series at two as Jeff Thomas was stingy as usual in not allowing any hits or runs.      

Silverscreen then brought in Al Muhle and he shut the door as he pitched 4 scoreless innings to record the win.

This concludes the 2008 season with only a year-end meeting scheduled for next Wednesday Sept 3  at the Callie Club to finish our league business.

On behalf of myself and the Executive I would like to thank the players, the umpires, the announcers, our grounds crew and the Fans for making this an exciting year of balll at the park.     

After being beaten by The Hawks on Monday night to even the series at one game each, Silverscreen came back to win game 3 and go up a game in the best of five final.

Game 4 will go Wednesday night August 27 at 6:30. 

In a wild one tonite at Rambler, the Bulyea Rustlers fought back from an 11-1 deficit in the top of 5 to score 5 and extend the game but it was too much to overcome as they came up on the short end of a 12-7 score and ended their 2008 season.

The Western Cycle Source for Sports League will crown a new champion next week as we have two first time finalists in the Gordon Hawks who finished first in the regular season taking on the 4th place finishers, Silverscreen Sportswear.

The final starts on Thursday at 6:30 with games 2, 3 and 4 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and game 5 being played next Friday if necessary.

This should be quite a match up as we will arguably see the top two pitchers in the League with Bo Thomas taking on Al Muhle. Come to the park and see who will prevail.   

With the win in Game 2 of their semi final series with KMC, the Gordon Hawks advance to next week's final against a yet to be determined opponent.

Bulyea and Silverscreen will square off on Monday night and play three in a row "if necessary" to determine who will face The Hawks in the final.

Should the Bulyea/Silverscreen series only last two games, then the winner will take Wednesday off and start the final on Thursday the 21st and play Thursday and Friday of next week and start over on the 25th until they are finished. However, should the semi final series go three games then teams will take next Thursday off and start the final on Friday the 22nd.

Of course, if we are rained out on any of the above dates, then we will just back up one day and continue with the schedule. 

With the Hawks winning game 3 of their quarter final series against Okanese, the match ups are now confirmed for the next round of playoffs.

#1 Gordon's Hawks VS # 7 KMC Diamondbacks

#3 Bulyea Rustlers VS # 4 Silverscreen Sportswear

The Hawks and KMC will start Monday August 11 and play Monday, Wednesday and Thursday "if necessary".

The Bulyea/Silverscreen series will commence Monday August 18 and games are scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday "if necessary". If someone sweeps the series then the final will commence on Thursday August 21.    

The Okanese Braves scored 3 in the bottom of 7 to take game two of the best of three quarter final series tonite at Rambler Park. Game 3 of this series will go tomorrow night (Thursday August 7th) at 6:30. The winner will advance to the semi finals starting Monday August 11 and the loser will see their season end.

Note the start time of 6:30 for all remaining playoff games.    

The Rez defaulted their 1st playoff game with Bulyea and had until tonite at 6:00 p.m. to state their intention to play tomorrow and also to pay their outstaning fine and league fees. They have not done so and therefore are suspended for the remainder of the playoffs and will have to apply for reinstatement in 2009.

The Hawks and Okanese will play game 2 tomorrow night Aug 6 and if Okanese wins, they will play Thursday night to determine a winner of their series.

If the Hawks win, they will draw KMC in the next round and that will start on Friday August 8th at 6:30.

Again, in this scenario, if the Hawsk sweep their series then the Rustlers and Silverscreen will play game 1 of therio series on Thursday night at 6:30 and will continue after the Rustlers return on August 18th.

The web site will be updated after tomorrow's game as we will then be able to set the dates and proceed from there.
