Series Recap
Summary
We were quite wrong in our prediction that this one would go seven games. Fort Hagen went home and came alive in the three-game sweep to win the series 4-1. Now they wait to see for their return to the Sole Survivor Series if they stay home for Games 1 and 2 against Diamond City or travel to Vault 81 for those games.
Despite offense being almost non-existent--for example, there were a total of four home runs in the series--CF Ben Pawlak of the Silver Shroud was named MVP. In five games, he was 8 for 19 (.316) with a triple, three walks, three runs, and two RBI with his numbers picking up in Games 4 and 5.
Derek Green and Matt Hope each threw shutouts for the Shroud, giving them hope that they can match up well with either Vault 81 or Diamond City's pitching.
Nordhagen Beach's best offensive weapons were RF Jonathan Angelou (.368/0/1) and C Mike Swift (.364/0/3). LF Michael Fogcrawler and 1B Dustin Mart each hit a home run in the Party Boys' Game 2 win, but hit a miserable .176 each in the series.
Chet Arthur had the best pitching performance for the Boys, but still dropped Game 3 despite allowing only one earned run in 6.2 innings. Tommy Beach and Julian Shed were both no-line NPCs in the series.
