Palmyra, PA — The Avengers came into Sunday with a 2-0 Pool Play record and the number two seed but the bracket layout did them zero favors. Their first match up was a well coached Flood City team. The battle would last 8 innings in a back a forth battle. Avengers found themselves down 4 runs in the fourth before they found their stride, scoring 6 runs in their half of the inning. Flood City would take the lead in the 6th inning to go up 8-6 followed with a counter punch by Avengers the the bottom half of the inning that tied the game at 8. That score held till the top of the 8th when Flood City took a 9-8 lead before Jake Santiago walked it off to advance Avengers to a semifinal matchup with The SCO. Avengers were forced to play this game back to back and a quick turnaround. Dom Ruggeri took the mound a pitched brilliantly over 4 innings surrender only 2 hits and 0 runs. Unfortunately the pitch count was high and Ruggeri had to give it up to Jake Santiago in relief. Avengers were up 5-0 at this point playing some old school small ball. Santiago struggled to find his usually potent stuff and SCO took the lead in their last at bats in the 7th to go up 8-6. The Avengers could not find the walk off magic twice in as many games and their run to the Championship was cut short. Avengers gave a couple weeks off before finishing out their season with trips to the Poconos, PA and Sports at the Beach in Deleware.
