| Kicking Puppies Crowned 2010 Western Division Champs |  | | | The Kicking Puppies captured the 2010 Western Division title with a 3-0 series win over Downingtown Middle School. The Puppies completed an impressive 2010 season, going 18-1 on the year while scoring an average off 18 runs a game. Leading the way in the playoffs for the Puppies was Brian Stewart, who went 11-fo-15 with 11 runs, 8 RBIs and 4 doubles. Michelle Baldwin was solid on the mound, going 4-0 with a 6.07 ERA to lead her team. Josh Vaughn added 10 hits in the postseason from the leadoff spot and James Frankland knocked in 11 runs for the champs.
The finals series was closer than the final outcome might appear. The Puppies had their hands full with the scrappy Downingtown Middle School squad, and almost lost their second game of the year in pivotal game two of the series. Game two was one for the ages, a game that went 9 innings and featured several big plays on both sides of the diamond. After DMS tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the 7th inning, the Puppies prevailed with a six-run 9th inning before Downingtown threatened and finished the game with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th.
Congratulations to both Downingtown Middle School and the Kicking Puppies for fantastic seasons and a memorable finals series. |
