Playoffs began on Monday night at Garrett Park, in quarterfinal action Akatsuki eliminated Lancaster and the Silver Bullets ousted Memorial. The winners move on to the semifinals versus Kelly's and Peach Bottom, the semifinals are a best 2-of-3. Tuesday night at the ballpark, the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars were in town for their final series in 2025. The Boxcars have the worst record in the league by far but you'd never know it, for some reason they give the Stormers a battle night in and night out. On this evening Hagerstown took a 1-0 lead in the second, the Stormers matched it in the bottom half on a sacrifice fly by newly-acquired Kevin Watson Jr. The Boxcars led 4-1 in the fourth before Joseph Carpenter went yard with the bases empty, after the Boxcars went up 5-2 in the fifth the Stormers tied it on Nick Ward's RBI double and a two-run shot onto the picnic tents in right field by Mason Martin. The pesky Boxcars went back ahead 7-5 in the sixth and added two more in the eighth, the Stormers scored single runs in the seventh and eighth on sac flies by Martin and Alex Isola. The final was 9-7, Michael McAvene started and took the loss. Take care, thanks for reading.
