Ruthlandian Union Final 4 Playoffs

Volusia Wins 4-3 in 11, Leads FM 2-1 in Series
Volusia surprised Far Mountain 4-3 in 11 innings at the V's home field, the Jailhouse, to go up two games to one in the Final 4 series. Second baseman Francisco Abreu (.441) tied the score at 3-3 with an eighth-inning homer, his second of the playoffs. Then he doubled in the winning run in the last of the 12th. That gave Abreu 8 RBIs in the postseason. Closer Ricky Moreno (1-0 0.00) notched the victory with five scoreless innings. Moreno struck out 9 and allowed 5 hits with two walks. Vigilante pitching struck out 18 Redhawks in the game with starter Lenny Collins also fanning 9. Collins went six and two-thirds innings, allowed six hits and three runs, but only one was earned. Volusia collected 12 hits in the game, while Far Mountain picked up 11. Abreu had two hits and three RBIs to pace the V's with right fielder Jesus Arroyo (.343) going 3-for-5 and tripling in a run. Catcher Dave Davis (.296) and second baseman Steve Kaminski (.227) had RBIs for the Redhawks. Dave Johnson (0-1 27.03) caught the loss, pitching to only 4 batters in the last inning.
