Pittsburgh &
Clancy's Survive First Two Rounds Undefeated
Team Pittsburgh
and Clancy's Pub ended Sunday as the only two teams to remain unscatched
in the playoffs in 2009. Pittsburgh started the day off with an 11-0
victory over the River City Sharks at Baker Park. Later in the day
Pittsburgh defeated the Bridgeville Braves 13-4 in round two of the
winners bracket.
Clancy's Pub
defeated the Pittsburgh Beavers 5-0 at Wylie Field to set up a second
round match up with the 2008 PBL Champion Hempfield Wildcats. The
game was a closely contested contest with Clancy's coming out on top 4-3.
Clancy's victory
over the Wildcats earns them a shot at Pittsburgh next round with the game
being played at Baker Field in Upper St. Clair. Earlier in the
season Clancy's swept team Pittsburgh due to strong pitching performances
by both Mike Gerber and Jim Onder. The winner will advance to the
PBL Championship. The loser will need to win one game in the losers
bracket to force a rematch.
Down But Not Out!
South Hills and the Steel City Prowlers
both suffered crushing first round defeats at the hands of an able
opponent. South Hills took one on the chin from the Hempfield
Wildcats in the form of a 15-1 drubbing at Hempfield Park.
Fortunately, South Hills was able to rebound and upset a talented
Pittsburgh Beavers squad 15-11 in round two.
The Prowlers got pounded by the
Bridgeville Braves in round one 20-10 then squeaked by the River City
Sharks in round two 7-4 to avoid elimination.
The day started off better for both the
Bridgeville Braves and Hempfield Wildcats with convincing first round
victories. However, the championship hopes took a slight nicking
when each were upset in the second round by Pittsburgh and Clancy's Pub.
As a result, the Braves #5 & the
Prowlers #4 will rematch at Fairview Park in round three with the loser
being eliminated from the PBL Playoffs. South Hills #7 and the
Wildcats #2 will also rematch at Hempfield Park with the loser being
eliminated from the PBL Playoffs.
