The first day of the new week was the final day of the old month, softball playoffs continued on Monday night at Garrett Park. These were the games rescheduled from the previous Thursday, the first game was the winners bracket final between Kelly's and Peach Bottom. PB rallied from 3-0 down in the third with a single run in the fourth and three with two out in the seventh to win 4-3. The nightcap was a lower bracket elimination game, Memorial advanced with a 6-3 decision over LCM. That set up the Tuesday night schedule with Memorial meeting Riverside, the winner of that game immediately facing off with Kelly's for the right to meet Peach Bottom for the championship on Wednesday. On Tuesday I was in town at the ballpark, the Barnstormers continued their homestand with a visit from the Charleston Dirty Birds. The visitors from West Virginia scored once in the first and thrice in the second, they would not score again but they wouldn't need to. The Stormers got on the board in the sixth on Ariel Sandoval's RBI single, another run scored in the seventh on an RBI double by Trayvon Robinson but the ballclub came no closer in a 4-2 loss. Dominic Disabatino went the first five and took the loss with Bret Clarke, Brian Marconi, Nick Duron and newcomer (and former big-leaguer) Cody Stashak working an inning each in relief. The series continues on Wednesday and Thursday. Take care, thanks for reading.
