2008 LOL Grand Championship Playoffs Game Scores
The 87th season of LOL baseball has concluded with the crowning of Northern Division champion Cedarburg as the 2008 LOL LOL grand champions.
Cedarburg defeated Waterford on September 7 by a score of 7-1 to erase several years of heartache in reaching the finals only to fall short. Waterford staved off elimination by defeating Cedarburg on September 6 11-10 behind a pair of home runs by Bart Nowicki, who also drove in seven of the 11 runs.
Cedarburg 0 0 1 0 0 3 2 1 0 - 7 13 1
Waterford 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 1 9 3
C – Joe Daniels and Joe Reichhart. W – Nick Hunt and Wade Axelson. WP – daniels. LP – Hunt. HR – C, Reichhart.
The Cedarburg Mercs used clutch hitting to win the 2008 Land O’ Lakes grand championship, their first since 1997. Cedarburg had finished as the runnerups each of the past two seasons.
Clutch hitting with runners in scoring position was a primary reason behind the Mercs’ win Sunday as they collected four hits in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position. The Rivermen collected just one hit in 14 at-bats.
The Mercs broke through for the first run of the game in the third inning. Three more runs in the sixth inning gave the Mercs a 4-0 advantage. A walk to Brian Bert started things. After a single by Nolan Gilbertson, John Regnitz blooped a double inside the right field line to score two runners.
Waterford’s Tony Chapman led off the bottom of the sixth with a double and scored on Brad Nowicki’s double, Waterford’s only hit with runners in scoring position.
Tom Gaertig led off the Cedarburg seventh inning with a walk. After singles by Wade and Bert loaded the bases, Ross Zahour’s infield grounder scored Gaertig, with a throwing error allowing Wade to score. Reichhart’s solo home run in the eighth capped the Cedarburg scoring.
Reichhart had three of the 13 Cedarburg hits in the game, with Regnitz and Bert adding two each. Brad Nowicki collected three of Waterford’s nine hits while Bart Nowicki had two.
Waterford 0 0 3 0 3 0 1 3 1 - 11 16 2
Cedarburg 2 4 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 - 10 11 3
W – Anthony Kozelek, Adam Brechtl (6) and Bart Nowicki. C – Steve Hopfensperger and John Regnitz. WP – Brechtl. LP – Hopfensperger. HR – W, Bart Nowicki 2, Brechtl; C, Nolan Gilbertson.
Waterford player-manager Bart Nowicki single-handedly led his team to victory in an elimination game Saturday. He collected four hits, including a pair of home runs, and drove in seven of the 11 Rivermen runs.
The winning run scored in the ninth on Chris Harmeling’s double. That came after a three-run rally and a dropped infield fly ball allowed the Rivemen to tie the game in the eighth inning.
Cedarburg jumped out to a 6-0 lead after two innings with Nolan Gilbertson accounting for four of the runs on a two-run double in the first and a two-run home run in the second.
Bart Nowicki’s three-run home run got the Rivermen on the board in the third inning. He added a solo blast in the fifth after teammate Adam Brechtl cracked a two-run home run of his own. Nowicki’s second home run tied the score at six.
Cedarburg untied the game in their half of the fifth on a suicide squeeze bunt by Wade and a two-run single by Bert.
