The will play a 3 game series against TESCO of the Erie Adult Baseball League.

without Klem’s arm signals we wouldn’t have this…
Playoff Update: No Bunting – Black Sox Sweep Owlz, Advance to Finals
NABA, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks BaseballAbout the time the Owlz were 11-0 they became the black cloud looming over the season.
How could any other team beat them in a three game series?
Realistically, it would take a miracle.
But Kenny f-ing Powers and the Brookline Black Sox, who, after being swept during the regular season (almost as badly as the Ducks were) by the Owlz, who found their Achilles heal.
Unbelievable.
Rumor has it Rafalski tore his hamstring.
The Fightin’s may be without their captain or the rest of the post-season.
The Canes won a 17-11 barn burner against the Warriors to force a game 3 in the Western Conference Final.
***
The Brookline Bullies eliminated the Imperial Owlz with a 5-2, series-clinching victory in Moore Park.
It was everything you could hope for in an Owlz Black Sox game, player ejections, a near brawl in the stands, and amongst the madness some good baseball.
The Owlz were flat.
Top to bottom they have more talent than any team in the league.
I heard they have a kid on their team who pitches for LaRoche College, who didn’t even see the mound this season.
That’s the kind of guy who could be the Ducks ace, and he doesn’t even play on that team.
The game was tied 2-2 going into the bottom of the sixth.
two consecutive walks to start the inning put runners on first and second for Kenny Powers.
Powers laid a bunt down the third-base line, the bunt was fielded and thrown into the outfield, and then the throw in went out of play.
A 3-run bunt to go ahead 5-2.
Slavicek retired the side in order in the top of the 7th.
An Owl got tossed for arguing balls and strikes.
The Owlz had a chance to break it open early when the led 2-1 in the 4th but hit into a 1-2-3 double play.
BSox40 pitched 4 scoreless innings in relief for the win.
The Owlz fanz were complaining about having to play the game at Moore Park, there was some controversy over this.
It’s too bad we didn’t re-seed for the playoffs so the Ducks could have been a 4 seed in an 11 (matador-less) team race instead of a 3 seed in a six team conference playoff.
Broccolo is thrilled to no longer be a Phantom.
The future of the Owlz is in doubt.
“The Ducks were the toughest team we played all season, you guys play with heart…”
– Kenny Powers
All this writing about the Sox and Owlz makes me want to vomit, but nothing else is going on.
August 22-23
Bad News for Erie.

Playoff Update [UPDATED 7-31-09] Warriors 10 – Canes 6
NABA, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks BaseballThe reigning intercontinental champs (who are in the unfamiliar role of underdog this series) can wrap up a second consecutive trip to the Finals with a win Saturday, 9pm at More Park.
They want Hulk Hogan.
The Warriors O Doyle out-dueled former Black Sock Chris Recker for the win, Brent Heintzleman (sp.)had a 2-inning save, Rafalski and Joyner each pitched one inning in relief.
The Craig Boley went 2 for 3 with 2BB, and scored 3 times.
Don Stetzer had two hits, and dedicated them to Chris Wojton.
Heintzleman (sp.) hit a ball off the fence in the seventh against Rafalski that cleared the bases plating 3 runs.

Where will the Owlz and Sox play if not Moore Park?
The Ducks are still planning our invasion of Erie, and setting our roster for the Steel City Classic.

- The Warriors will play the Fightin’ Rafalski’s in Game 2 Saturday, 9pm at Moore Park.
