Game Three

vs.


Jack "The Locomotive" Hatt (12-5, 3.07) (back in his Bucs days)

September 5, 2011 - It was a clash of titans, as the Mushers brought their ace against the Senators' popular young Native American pitcher, Scott Northeast.

In the end, it was little contest, as the Mushers scored early and often on Northeast in front of the home crowd. The hits finally started coming in bunches and in the extra base hit variety. Joly, Sutherland, Mansel, and O'Feeney all doubled, while Holman and Heath homered. Northeast was left in there to keep fighting, going seven innings and giving up eight runs.

Hatt, meanwhile, was masterful, scattering two walks and six hits and posting six strikeouts en route to a complete game shutout. Bethel might have the smallest-capacity park in the league, fitting only 1,000 spectators, but those thousand fans made some noise as they watched their team go up 2-1 in the series with two more home games to come.

Final score: Bethel 8, Juneau 0.
