Replays Win National Division Playoffs > > >

In an epic struggle between two National Division titans (OK, so it was just 3 softball games), the Replays defeated the Mudhens to win the Division title. The Replays went ahead 5-0 in their first at-bat, but the Mudhens fought back to a 6-6 tie after 3 innings. The Replays then built a 14-8 lead in game 1, but the Mudhens capitalized on a series of fielding errors and finished with an exciting 15-14 victory.
The Mudhens maintained their momentum at the beginning of game 2, going ahead 5-0 after just 1 ½ innings. However, at that point the Replays began a comeback that culminated with a dramatic triple in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game and a walk-off bases-loaded hit in the bottom of the eighth for an impressive 6-5 victory, tying the series at one game apiece.
In the third game, the Replays exploded offensively to go ahead 14-0 after 3 ½ innings. Combining that performance with dazzling pitching and fielding, the Mudhens never recovered, and in fact did not even score. After playing two intense one-run games, the 14-0 margin was quite unexpected.
Replays pitcher Jimmy Wong ended the day with a string of 13 consecutive shutout innings. Dave Wainwright and Art Priver (the Replays assistant manager and manager) combined to reach base safely 19 times in 22 plate appearances.
