The second all-Stratford affair went to the kiddies. Sara Plourde pitched a three-hit shutout and beat the Brakettes 1-0 with an RBI single in the fourth. It had John Stratton wondering whether he’d be back and Denise Denis calling it the worst ending of her career.
The Breakers are hanging in in the losers bracket final, leading the St. Louis Saints 2-1 in the fourth.
Edit 11:50: The Breakers advance to the final round with a 2-1 win over St. Louis. Breakers-Havoc. If you had that final, quit your job and move to Vegas. (Or Delaware.)
Edit 2:20: The Breakers and Havoc have gone to the ninth, tied at 1. This looks like one of those endless games. Can we just call this the 23rd?
Edit 2:25: It’s over: The Havoc win 2-1 in 10 innings. An error put a runner on; a sacrifice, a delayed steal and a line-drive single ended the thing.
The Havoc have to be the most unlikely Majors champion in a long, long time — if not ever. Some tournament.
