Division Series 10-6-2018

Utah 6, Boston 1

Erick Reinfelder hit a double and triple, and Darin Makowsky struck out 6 and allowed just one run as the Utes cruised to victory, sweeping the Beaneaters.

Bay Area 2, Green Day 1

In the top of the second inning Bay Area pitcher Felix Bacani shocked the world by blasting a two run homer off Green Day's Carl Rice.  It would be all Bay Area would get, and all they needed.  Bacani allowed just a sacrifice fly to Nutkin in the 4th.  Willie Strickland recorded the last 6 outs without allowing a baserunner to earn the save.

Bay Area will next play the winner of the Florida and New York series.

Miami 6 Cleveland 3

Cleveland scored first as Alex Maldonado had a 2 run homer off Brad Moulds.  They later held a 3-1 lead.  Miami had solo homers from Devan Arceneaux and Trevor Burton, and tied the game up in the 5th when Todd Merkich hustled to score from first on a Ricky Buckley double.

Moulds went 5 innings for the Stars before Travis Howard and Ervin Russell combined to cover the 6th, 7th, and 8th.  In the top of the 9th, Miami put two on with one out for Merkich against Cleveland closer Kevin Stanfield.  Todd crushed a 3 run homer to give Miami the lead.

Dwight Schrute pitched the bottom of the 9th.  He struck out Brett Solo, walked Kevin Tyler, struck out Otto Stevens, and got Malcolm Thomas to hit a weak nubber right back to the mound.

Miami sweeps the series and will play Utah next.
