Tri -Valley Giants sputter in playoffs |
|
The Tri Valley Giants battled to a 1-1-1 record in Woodland and made it into the first round of the playoffs. Gutsy performances by pitchers Josh Lewis, Carey Thompson, Paul Nichols, Mason Wenger, and Rob Regan kept us in most of the games. Sluggers Tim Durazzo and Jim Gardino led the offensive charge with some clutch hits by River Acciaoli, Mike Milmoe, and Jonathan Parkhurst. The Giants couldn't get things going against the Bay Area All Stars in the first playoff round and got bounced. All in all the Giants had a great time and immediately started setting their sites on the third week of October in Arizona. PS- for those interested in enjoying a slice of Woodland's underbelly, book a night at the Knight's Inn and enjoy the show!

Sonoma All Stars blanked in Woodland |
|
The Crushers went as Sonoma 38+ all Stars. Game 1, VS Sacramento Cardinals We lost 15 to 10. Game 2, VS San Jose Rangers. We lost 11 to 0. Game 3, VS Modesto Oldtimers. We lost 9 to 5. Sorry to say we were 0-3 for the weekend. However, our team won the 25 inch TV in the Raffel and we had a great time playing with old friends. PS.. We are playing in the World Series as the Wine Country Indians in the 38+ Central Division. So, after the regular season ends, we will be looking for a few practice games. I'm working with Clyde Jones to put on a weekend 4-game Series in Fairfield, so we need at least 5 teams, Clyde's team, my team and 3 others.
