The defending champion Columbia County Cannons will meet the regular season champs , the Frozen Ropes Outlaws , in a rematch of the last two years finals. the Outlaws are betting on the "third times the charm" adage and bring a substantial offense to battle the leagues best pitching staff.
The Outlaw feature league batting titlist Quentin Jensen (.535) and the league's best team average of .332 . Co manager Jensen is backed up by co-mgr. Brendan Robert's .500 ave. with a league leading .667 OBP and walks ( 24). It doesn't stop there as team RBI leader ( 18) Carlos Maldanado , and several others batting over .350 also get the job done.
Can the Outlaws handle the deep and talented Cannons' pitching staff? this line-up includes Brian Pollard, Ken Ward, Eric Joyce, JJ Pearsall and Jim Shook. The Cannons staff has combined for 148 K's , nearly one every inning; and league leading 1.50 ERA. no slouches with the wood , Manager David Ames's team has Eric Joyce, who was the runner up in the batting titlist race, and Lalo Reyes had 14 RBIs. And they can run; witness the league leading 61 Stolen bases . Jason Mavrides and Eric Wilsey combined for 27 of those. I'd say the Outlaw catcher will be as busy as the Cannon fielders.
