Last night, in probably one the most exciting games all season played by both teams, the Yankees took game #2 of the Minor Championship playoffs 2-1 over the Diamondbacks in extra innings.  Witnessed by an almost capacity crowd, both teams locked into a pitchers duel with Carson Ruggiero for the DBacks and James Donnelly for the Yankees.  The game remained scoreless through five innings until the Yankees broke through with a run in the top of the sixth.  The DBacks answered with their own run in the bottom of the inning, sending the game into extra frames.  The Yankees scored their second run in the top of the seventh inning on a steal of home by Zach Martinez.  Kyle Walker shut down the Dbacks in the bottom of the inning to secure the victory.  Both Carson Ruggiero and James Donnelly pitched a masterful game which has to be the best game of the season.  The Yankees are the 2009 SNLL Minor Baseball League Champions.  Hats off to the Diamondbacks for a very hard fought playoff series.
