‘08 Playoffs (Championship): Marinated.

Posted by Andrew | Filed Under Games | 

The Harwich Mariners put Game 1 of the Championship series away early with explosive 2nd and 3rd innings. Jason Stidham (Florida State) drove in a total of 6 runs to give him the early bid on MVP. The Kettleers didn’t get on the board till the 7th inning when Robert Stock (USC) hit a 2-run homerun off starter Mike Morrison (Cal State Fullerton) to make it 11-2. Morrison otherwise had a strong game and earned the win. Cape League Insider did a nice job today with live updates.

The Kettleers will look to force a Game 3 with a win tomorrow at Whitehouse Field. Kickoff is at 7pm, but I would make sure to get there early, as the work crowd will have a chance to see this one. Weather.com is still showing a 30% chance of showers throughout the day.

    Congrats to Cotuit for an honest attendance count.
    1,400+ does seem low for a championship game, even if it at 3pm.
    If Cotuit used some of the “formulas” of other teams…cough, cough… their attendance figure would be about 6,000 :-)

    According to the CC Times, Cotuit’s cleanup hitter Jason Kipnis went home on Tuesday and Coach Roberts didn’t find out until 9pm.

    I wonder how that conversation went:
    Kipnis-”Coach, I’ve got to leave because classes start in two weeks and I’ve got packing to do etc.”

    Coach Roberts-”Jason, we’ve got a championship to win here, its only a couple of more days”

    Kipnis-”Sorry coach, but my girlfriend really wants to hit the road tonight…but hey good luck tomorrow, I had a great summer, say thanks to all the unselfish people who took time out of their lives to make my stay here what it was”

    Coach Roberts(thinking to himself)-”If I smash his head in with this Louisville Slugger, do I have time to hide the body AND redo my lineup card?”

    Another selfish ballplayer letting his coach, team and organization down!!
