Kingston is the first team to advance to the next round...erupting for six runs in the fifth inning to beat Berlin 6-0. Babagonosh and Sirron combined for the shutout, striking out 10. Gonosh also led the hitting effort going 2 for 3 with two triples in the No. 2 spot. Newcomer Killakazooma helped out by hitting 4 for 7 in his three spots and scoring three runs.
Brisbane is one out away from closing out Cairo on the other International semifinal, although a grand slam by benga has given the Cobras some hope in the late stages of this one. If Brisbane advances, the International side would see both of the pool-play champs fall in the semis.
On the US side, Charleston is clinging to a 5-4 lead over Tyler, but the Sidewinders are threatening with one out in the sixth inning and runners on 1st and 2nd. A nailbiter in this one.
In the other US matchup, Harrisburg scored nine early runs and holds an 11-4 lead in the middle of the 5th inning. Mobile was kept alive by a strong effort from dfp2dep out of the bullpen, surrendering just two hits during a shutout relief performance. He struck out four batters before being taken off the mound late in the 4th.
good luck all, as we wrap up.
Boxscores are updated...I'm waiting for a few maps to finish up, and will send the next batch in the next day or two.
