PEBA again got on the board early and added some late insurance runs as the team blanked Federal International, 4-0, in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead in the OOTP Grand Championship League Finals. Gerald “Warrior” Blevins nearly went the distance, allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out nine batters in 8.1 innings.

PEBA opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning as catcher Ed Rutherford, who is batting .300 during the playoffs, doubled in a pair of runs.

In the bottom of the eighth, DH Jonathan Moxon and right fielder Arturo Martinez singled to lead off the inning. Center fielder Bill Haynes grounded into a fielder’s choice that moved Moxon to third, and Haynes easily stole second base during left fielder Jack Ibarra’s at-bat. Two pitches later, a wild pitch scored Moxon and sent Haynes to third. Ibarra’s eventful at-bat ended with a sacrifice fly that scored Haynes without a throw.

In the top of the ninth, Fed second baseman Mike McKnight reached first via an error with one out. Blevins seemed to be running out of gas, so reliever Markus Woodard was brought in to throw just one pitch that resulted in a double play to end the game.

Game 4 will feature a rematch of the Game 1 starters: John “Prophet” Ross for PEBA and Eric Flynn for the Fed. PEBA edged the Fed 2-1 in the first game of the series.
