Very similar to the Spring season when the underdog Grasshoppers upset the Astros to claim the title, Jon Banta led his squad to an upset of the favored Padres.  The Padres came out strong with an 11-6 victory game 1 before the Blue Rocks showed the grit they displayed throughout their playoff run.  They battled back to take game two 18-16 to force a deciding game 3, where they would double up the Padres 10-5 to claim the Fall Championship.  Series MVP Ryan Richardson did damage all day and Banta's crew followed the lead.  Kudos to Prim's Padres for an outstanding season and for the class and brotherhood they showed in the final series as well as throughout the season.  This series proved once again that in Shalom League, any given day.........  

This puts a bow on an outstanding 2021 and we hope to see you all at the end of year breakfast where we will recognize award winners from the 2020 and 2021 season as well as induct new members into the Hall of Fame.
