Selects Win 1-0 Pitcher's Duel

Selects vs. Cardinals

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

The Selects jumped out to an early lead and Doug Hoffman did the rest, as the boys in green took a 1-0 lead in their semi-final series on Tuesday night, beating the Cardinals by a 1-0 score. Mike Brown singled to lead off the top of the first, advancing to second on a throwing error. He then swiped third and home on a pair of passed balls to stake the Selects to a 1-0 lead. Cardinals' pitcher Bryan Belisle would surrender little else, a fifth inning single by Tim Coverdale and a sixth inning base hit by Brown marking the only other two blemishes on an impressive 11-strikeout performance.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, Hoffman was even more impressive for the Selects; he struck out 14 and allowed just two hits in a complete game shutout gem. With the win, the Selects extend their unbeaten streak to seven games and find themselves one win away from their second straight appearance in the KFL finals. Game two of the semi-final series goes Thursday at 7 p.m. and, if this game was any indication, it promises to be a good one.

MVP: Doug Hoffman, P
