The Confidence Man Minute with Travis Miles

This is a transcript from Travis Miles’ post-game sign off of Game Three of the DCR Series of the Week.

This is Travis Miles with "The Confidence Man Minute." You have just watched the Starlight Lady Killers complete the sweep against the Sunshine Tidings Chemists, winning today's game 10 to 6. The first two games of the series were true pitchers' duels, with the Lady Killers winning those 2 to 1 and 1 to 0. The Lady Killers also keep place with the Institute League's first-place team, the Abernathy Adamantium, which swept Concord earlier today. The Adamantium have a one-game lead heading into the final three.

Breaking down top players per game, I think it would be good to look at both teams' pitchers in Games 1 and 2. In Game 1, Starlight's City Moore earned the complete game win to move to 7 and 5 on the season. He allowed one earned run on eight hits with a walk and five strikeouts in the 2-1 victory. The Chemists' Tony Bertha also pitched well, but fell to 5 and 9 on the season. He allowed two earned runs on seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts in eight innings.

In Game 2, Starlight's Chris Schneier spread out 12 hits in a complete-game shutout. He walked three and struck out three in the game. The Chemists had 15 base runners in the game, but could never find a clutch hit with a man on base. For the Chemists, Tim Fusion pitched an even better game than Schneier despite the loss to drop him to 9 and 7. In eight innings, he allowed one earned run on three hits with four walks and six strikeouts.

Today's game leaned more to offense with the 10-6 final. The eighth hitter for the Killers, Justin People earned the Game MVP honors after going 3 for 4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored, and two runs batted in.

We have second choice for next week's game, so we will let you know in tomorrow morning's program. It looks likely the Brotherhood League has a tight race for the wildcard spot, so we anticipate either staying here in the Institute League to see how the league race finishes up or going to the Minutemen League if that wildcard race is still alive.

Whereever we are, we promise the best baseball broadcast in the Commonwealth. From Valentine Detective Agency Field, it has been a fun weekend here at the Drive-In. Kudos to Piper Wright and the BosCom technology with playing video replays for us on the left field wall. We look forward to more moving pictures for baseball. Hear me next weekend!
