I know it's probably because I just don't understand, but I think it's great that a team within a barren farm system can win.

How is it the "pennant?"

They already won the division title in the regular season. This was the equivalent of winning the ALDS.

Still, I'm happy about their accomplishment.

The best pitcher on the team (Joe Gunkel) was the main reason why the Baysox lost a game in this series.

He was given a 7-0 lead in the 2nd inning of Game One and failed to protect it, getting knocked out of the box for 5 runs in only 4.67 innings.

I suspect that he'll do better in the Eastern League championship series.

It is like the AL. Against the NL. Evidently. I guess more like winning the ALCS. I used the words that they used on the broadcast. Sorry if I offended.

Gunkel was better, but he wasn't good enough.

3 runs in 6-Plus innings, and the Baysox again lost the 1st game of a playoff series. Gunkel again got the "L."

Once again, veteran journeyman Additon pitched a very good game, and led the Baysox to a Game Two playoff series victory after Joe Gunkel had taken the loss in the Opener ........ just like what happened last week against AA-Altoona in the Eastern League Semifinals.

Neither Mancini (.174 BA) nor Sisco (.167) have done much in the AA playoffs. The big contributors so far have been Yastrzemski (.409), Lattimore (.385), Ozzie Mattinez (.381) and Rosa (.370).

Not a good game for Christopher U. Lee.

The Baysox are down by a score of 4-0 in the middle of the 5th inning.

David James Hess pitched another outstanding game for the AA-Baysox.

Last week he was stellar against AA-Altoona in the Eastern League Semifinals, and tonight he was stellar against AA-Reading in the Eastern League Championship series.

Read about his final line (including pitches per inning, and types of outs that he recorded) in his thread in the minor league section:

You're kind of burying the lead, Patrick.

Baysox win, 9-1, to send the series to a decisive game 5.
