Madtown entered the series as an underdog but felt confident with Cliff Lee and Stephen Strasburg at the top of their rotation. In the series Lee walked 7 in two games and Strasburg walked 9, seven in game 2. Strasburg was hit around as if his grade was a 3 or 4. Conversely CJ Wilson and Zach Wheeler turned in stellar pitching efforts with both getting 2 wins in the series. That was the difference in the series. But Newport hitters are good and relentless and that too was big reason for the troubles both Lee and Strasburg had, but 16 walks between the two is not a recipe to win especially against a Buffaloes team with that kind of pop. Congrats to Newport on a good series and good luck to Thomas and Jared in the A.L. Championship. Don(MAD)
