The story of the day was the Kings' 19-run rally in the 2nd inning, which allowed them to cruise to a 23-6 victory.
The Doyers had no answer for the Kings' offense that inning, as the Kings sent 24 batters to plate. After getting the first two
batters of the inning to ground out, lead-off hitter Ethan Wolferman started the rally with a single through the 3-4 hole. The Kings went on to
put the next 21 batters on base, including 17 basehits.
After two innings, the score was 21-0.
The Kings' Madison Dang started the offense with his 3-run homer in the 1st inning. It was a towering shot that stayed just insiide the left
field foul pole. Dang collected a single and a double in his next two at-bats. His 3-for-6 day with 5 RBI and his relief pitching performance
earned him the Chmapionship MVP. Randy Cseh was also just as impressive at the plate. In just the second inning alone, he
went 3 for 3, with 6 RBI and a triple. He finished the day 4 for 6. Wolferman and Steven Gorman also hit well, each collecting three
hits. Gorman had 3 RBI and a double.
Other than the fist two innings, the Doyers played well. Marshall Plouffe came in relief in the second to blank the Kings over the next 5.1
innings. He struck out seven and allowed only one hit.
The Doyers finally got on the board in the 5th with two runs. In the 6th, the Doyers scattered 4 hits and scored 4
runs. Giovanni Mazola led all Doyers hitters, going 4 for 5 on the day. Dave Matthews, Nick Santoro, and Jordan Wolff
all hit well with two hits each.
Randy Cseh pitched well enough over 5.2 innings to pick up the win. Madison Dang closed out the last 3.1 innings without allowing a run,
and he earned the save. Cseh pitched a very impressive playoff series, going 3-0, and leading the Kings to their first CABO
Championship.
