SEASON 5 SERIES 7 HIGHLIGHTS

EE: 0r 1h 1e

Game 2
Huntington scores 2 quickly in the first on two hits by Groh and Wagner, and tack on a Medwick homer to take a 3-1 lead into the 9th. Goslin for E-town ruins Brown's CG bid with a dinger, but McMichael closes it out for a tight win.
EE: 2r 6h 1e
HB: 3r 6h 1e
W- Brown (5-2); L- Johnson (2-5); S- McMichael (6)
HR- Medwick (3); Goslin (6)

Game 3
A 2-run double by Simmons puts HB up until E-town starts chipping away, first scoring on a groundout in the 7th. In the 8th Bender relieves Grove and blows the save by allowing a Cepeda SF to tie it 2-2. It goes extra frames when in the 10th Franco allows hits to Keeler and Collins, and then Baker comes in to pinch hit and plates Keeler with a SF to win it. Walsh goes the distance in defeat and Vaughan, last season's MVP, collects his 14th error of the season at SS for HB.
10 innings
EE: 2r 9h 2e
HB: 3r 6h 1e
W- Allen (2-2); L- Walsh (3-4)

Game 4
Alexander throws a beauty, going the distance and only allowing a Cepeda 9th inning dinger to spoil the shutout. HBB is powered by homers from Medwick and Brouthers, and even Baker has a succesful steal against the vaunted E-town receivers.
EE: 1r 5h 1e
HB: 5r 9h 0e
W- Alexander (7-4); L- Shea (0-2)
HR: Medwick (4); Brouthers (3); Cepeda (5)

Game 5
Newhouser tosses another great game, going 8 1/3 with 9Ks and takes a 5-2 lead into the 9th courtesy of homers from Vaughan and Joe Jackson. But he allows a run to score on a SF and then 2 more hits to end his day. McMichael comes on for the save but serves up a 2-run double to Aaron to tie the score. HBB gets out of the jam and it goes to extra frames. In the 11th Magee singles and advances on a throwing error by Franco in relief. Medwick is intentionally walked but Stovey burns him with a hit to the gap to plate the winning run. Doc White, relegated to the bullpen after rocky starts, gets his first win and Collins adds a SB for good measure off of Berra.
11 innings
EE: 5r 7h 3e
HB: 6r 12h 0e
W- White (1-5); L- Franco (2-3)
HR- Vaughan (2); J. Jackson (3)

Game 6
The last game is the only one that is not close, as Huntington hammers an overworked E-town bullpen. Rijo takes the brunt of it, serving up 7 ER and 4 BBs in only 3 2/3. Most of the game's damage was done by Medwick, who went 3 for 4 with a double, triple and 3 RBI, and Brown collected his 2nd win of the series and give HB their first sweep of an opponent.
EE: 2r 6h 1e
HB: 12r 13h 0e
W- Brown (6-2); L- T. John (1-4)
HR- Collins (1)

Huntington finally played some decent defense and got great pitching to get back above .500 for the first time this season.

The 1st place Monarchs take on the 1st place Legends in series that saw shutouts in the last three games of the series.

Game 1: Laguna Beach is led by Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie who combined to go 5 for 8 with a walk and a HBP. They also combined for 2 RBI's and 5 runs scored. The Legends open with 3 runs in the top of the first and use that as a springboard for a 7-3 victory.

Game 2: Lajoie and Cobb had another good game, but Bob Elliott had a better one. Elliott doubled, tripled and had 3 RBI's leading the Monarchs to an 8-4 win.

Game 3: The Legends got off to 3-0 start in the top of the first again, but Minnesota countered with 2 in third. The score stayed 3-2 until the Monarchs tied it in the eighth. The game would go to the Eleventh inning when Travis Jackson would get aboard on an error. Gabby Hartnett followed with an RBI double to give Minnesota the 4-3 victory. Johnny Sain pitched all 11 innings for the complete-game victory.

Game 4: This one was dominated by Monarchs starter Eddie Plank as he throws the 2-hit complete-game shutout. The Monarchs started with 3 runs in the bottom of the first and go on to win 6-0.

Game 5: Minnesota started their ace Walter Johnson, but he left in the second inning with an injury. Early reports suggest that he will make his next start. It was the Legends Max Lanier's turn to throw goose-eggs in this one. He throws 8 innings of shutout ball, allowing only 3 hits as Laguna Beach wins 10-0. They scored 5 runs in the second inning on their way to an 18 hit attack.

Game 6: A rematch of the game one starters in this one gave Claude Passeau a chance to redeem himself. He took advantage of it tossing a 3-hit shutout of his own as the Monarchs win 4-0.

Minnesota takes this series 4 games to 2.
