The Brewers take 2 of 3 from the Baltimore Lords to end the regular season with a 98-64 record.
They got an easy 7-1 victory in the first game behind the pitching of Daniel Torres who finishes the season with a 14-5 record and 2.59 ERA. Among the contributors on offense was young back-up catcher Kevin Curtis (.159/.250/.254) who had a rare good day with the bat, going 2 for 2 with 2 RBI, a walk, and his only HR of the season.
The Brewers were then shut-out in game 2 by the great veteran lefthander, Jose Santos (17-9, 2.47) who held them to just 3 hits while striking out 7 and walking 2. The Brewers lost 1-0 as captain Abel Pennington (10-11, 3.08) also pitched a gem, allowing just the 1 run on 4 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5 in 7 1/3rd innings pitched.
Young Adam Getchell, who along with Harry Lyerly is thought to be the future of the Brewers starting rotation, again pitched well in the final game of the regular season and the Brewers held on for a 4-2 victory. Getchell (3-0, 2.49 in his time with the Brewers) worked 7 2/3rds, allowing the 2 runs on only 3 hits while walking 3 and striking out 2.
The Brewers now find themselves energetically preparing for a first in franchise history: a trip to the WPK World Series!
