The regular season ended with a big crowd at the top of the league standings. The top 4 teams all had 6 wins. So it came down to percentage points. On Tuesday Fuller removed all doubt with two convincing wins. With the Championship, Fuller returned to the top tier team it was several years ago when Tom Pacil was the manager.
In the semi's Southern beat Piney Road with a big comeback. Southern (playing without vacationing Nick Potts and injured Ed Duffy) trailed by as many as 8 runs early on. In the bottom of the 4th they mounted a furious comeback and then won going away. All season Piney was afflicted by their tendency to score big early then trying to hold on till the end. That proved to be their undoing on Tuesday. Randu Collins led Southern with some timely hitting and by playing out of position in right-center. He fielded every oppurtunity and even threw out a runner at third when Piney was climbing back into the game.
In the other semi-final CC45+ never got on track and Fuller paid them back for the beat-down that CC45+ gave them last Thursday in their season finale. CC45+ has been hurting since they lost Brian Bartlett who went AWOL for unknown reasons several weeks ago. Fuller was led by the hitting of Gary Wright and Mark Ridenour and the slick fielding of Guy Gewinner and Rich Jones.
