The Bats sweep the final week of the regular season to clinch the 1st Seed...of the Minis! It has been a rollercoaster of a season...but we wouldnt have wanted to do it with any other super squad! This team always backed each other up and we went out and played like the Bats we knew we could be. 

Game 1 had us up against the Brewers. Grant Carver started off the game for the Brewers pitching a gem by retiring the first 6 Bats...but the power bottom would come through once again to get things kicked off for the Bats at the top of the 3rd. Omar Gonzalez would crush an RBI double bringing in Steve Enda followed by another RBI double from Erik Clausen bringing in Omar. Dylan Buhrow would come back up to bring in Erik. Brewers would catch up and take the lead the next couple of innings as the Bats flew silent...needing to come together in the top of the 6th to avoid another loss. Daniel Buhrow would start the inning with a single...followed by a single from Dylan Buhrow, and Dalton Fallaw would bring in Daniel with an RBI double. Ariel Rodriguez would walk...and David Buhrow would hit a 2RBI double to tie the game. Nick Barr would come up with a RBI SAC...Doug Kramer would hit an RBI single...and a strange turn of events and errors by the Brewers with Freddy Barraez at bat lead to him running all the bases and making it home with 2RBIs. 

Bats just had to hold the Brewers and win Game 1 10-6. 

Game 2 had the Bats against the Division Clinched Astros. Highlights from Game 2 include a 3RBI Homer from Ariel Rodriguez and a 3RBI Homer from Nick Barr. The Bats look playoff ready and in the playoff mindset. Bats would take Game 2 10-7 and we look forward to the minis in a couple of weeks. 

Impact Bats of the Week: 

  1. Ariel Rodriguez 2-5 1SAC 1BB 1HR 5RBI and 2Rs. Pitched a solid Game 2 to fill in for an injured Doug Kramer. 

  2. Nick Barr 4-6 1SAC 1HR 5RBI and 1R. 

  3. Dylan Buhrow 5-7 1RBI and 3Rs. Solid plays at short!

Honorable Mention: Danny Buhrow kicking off June by doubling his entire hit production in the Month of May by going 4-5 with 3Rs.
