However, the O's defense was solid enough to stop the Card's attempt to come from behind finish. The Cardinals pitched Nolan for 3, Parker for 1, and Tim for 3. The O's pitched Jake for 5 and Brandon for 1.

The Giants hosted the Orioles in critical matchup with the winners moving on in the playoffs. While the O’s played well today both defensively and offensively, it wasn’t enough to hold off the mighty Giants! The Giants starter Nathan Cormier was solid in his two innings of work striking out 5 and allowing no runs. Pitching for the Orioles were starter Nate Zalzal, Mason Linscott, Brendan Choate & Eren LaBonte. All the O's pitchers put on good performances recording 12 K’s throughout the game. The Giants offense showed patience at the plate and added runs on walks coupled with hits by Brandon Yan and Brendan Trombey (3-3) jumping out to a 4 – 0 lead. The Orioles however would soon mount their comeback with hits by Mason Linscott (2B), Eren LaBonte (1B), Nate Bergerson (1B) and, Ryan Joransen (1B) and a timely hit by Nathan Zalzal who delivered a bases clearing triple to put the Orioles on top 5-4. The Giants, then went to work tying the game in the third and breaking it open in the fourth, scoring five. The Giants then brought in closer Brandon Yan who faced a number of tough Orioles hitters who put in good at bats and were not going down without a fight. In the end Yan would record six K's in his effort to preserve the Giants win. This was a long but hard fought battle and each team win or lose could “feel good” about their efforts.

Another barn burner! The A's got out to an early lead, but the Blue Jay's were lying in wait until the top of the 6th when they rallied, but came up just a few runs shy of the win. The Bluejays pitched Nick for 2, CJ for 2, and Josh for 1. The A's pitched Justin for 4, and Brandon for 2.

The game began on a winning note when Captain Josh Tramack won the coin toss on lucky flip. The Giant's Nathan Cormier pitched a solid first 4 innings striking out 9 Cardinals batters. The Cardinals were able to Blank the Giants through the 1st 5 innings on the pitching of Nolan Foss and Andres Hulfachor. Nolan went 2 innings striking out 6 and Andres went 3 innings striking out 8. Parker Obenhofer came in to pitch the 6th striking out 2. The few base runners that were allowed were afraid to try and steal with the threat of Catcher, Timmy Eaton's laser beam arm. He reached back and gunned down a baserunner trying to take 2nd. Michael Jolicoeur received the game ball for a moonshot double that he hit in the 5th inning that scored the 2 base runners and helped cement the lead for the Cardinals. Joe Buturla was a force at catcher gunning down an advancing runner at 3rd Andres Hulfachor led the hit parade going 3-3. Riley Lawless, Tim Eaton, and Nolan Foss all went 2-3, continuing their hot-hitting streaks! Branden Yan came in relief striking out 2 batters to prevent the Cardinals from adding any more runs Offensively for the Branden Yan 2 hits, Joey 2 hits, Nathan Cormier 1 hit, Ryan Murray 1, Kyle O'Connor 1 hit as the Giants rallied in the bottom of the sixth scoring four runs but that wasn't enough to pull out the victory. The Cardinals officially nicknamed themselves "The Big Red Machine" at the end of the game, so look out Blue Jays... The BRM is coming to play you Wednesday, and we're not ready to hang up our spikes just yet!
