Sole Survivor Series 2314: The Slog Ghouls vs Quincy Gunners
Game Results: 1 and 2
Game 1: The Slog 2, Quincy 1
Sole Survivor Series Game 1 Victory for Perez and The Slog
The Sole Survivor Series got off to a quiet start, with the host The Slog Ghouls taking a low-scoring, 2-1 win over the Quincy Gunners. The Slog left-hander Flirt Perez was marvelous at Tarberry Field Forever. The Ghouls now hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
In his 102-pitch effort, Perez allowed no runs on 3 hits over 7 innings. He walked 1 and struck out 11. Orlando Bransford pitched the final two innings to earn the save, allowing one earned run on a hit with a walk and three strikeouts.
"Flirt pitched like a son-of-a-gun," said The Slog manager Nate Pugh.
Kilometers Davis and Silvam Fourteen each knocked in a run.
Quincy's Will Hell tried to put some park in the offense in the 9th, hitting a solo home run, but it was not enough to overcome the Ghouls' pitching performance.
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Tarberry Field Forever in The Slog.
Game 2: The Slog 4, Quincy 3, 10 inn.
DaWell, Ghouls Take Dramatic Game 2 for 2-0 Series Lead
Behind the big bat of first baseman Baktu DaWell, the The Slog Ghouls have opened up a healthy early lead in the Sole Survivor Series. The Ghouls topped the Quincy Gunners, 4-3, at Tarberry Field Forever in Game 2, and now hold a 2-0 edge in the best-of-7 series.
DaWell was 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once to power The Slog to victory.
The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the tenth. With The Slog trailing 3-2, DaWell hit a fastball from Wick Prater for a 2-run single. In the blink of an eye, the Ghouls had a walk-off win.
"We did a lot of things right," said DaWell.
The intensity of the 10th inning was already in full throttle from the top of the inning. With the game tied, 2-2, Kinsella Birdwatcher led off with a walk off RP Austen Austin. Desert Dog Swift singled and then Bruce Timmons flew out. Alchemist Hall then hit an RBI single for the 3-2 lead.
Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday at The Stone House in Quincy.
