determination by taking the first game 6-5. The 2nd game saw
starting pitcher Efrain Romero go 2 2/3 innings, striking out 7, and giving
up one run. Josh Rosenfeld came on in relief to pitch 1 2/3 innings giving
up 2 runs and striking out 4 for the win. Jesse James Bourdeau finished the
game off, pitching 1 2/3 innings and striking out 3. The three pitchers
combined for a no hitter. Player of the game Darius Jackson hit a grand slam
inside the park homerun in the bottom of the 3rd to lead the
Minor Pirates to a 6-3 victory over the Minor White Sox and win the Minor
Championship.
