2031 Beer League Playoffs - Milling Series: Game 4
#1 Jester King Das Wunderkind (96-66, 4th post season) vs #4WC Red Rock Elephino (83-79, 6th post season)
Hoping to avoid being the second top seed to lose in the first round this post season, Jester King had their work cut out for them as they went up against Red Rock ace starter Ryan Bernstein (18-7, 2.16 ERA in the regular season, and 1-0 in this series). Bernstein would do his job for most of the game, keeping Jester King off balance. While his final stat line included 3 earned runs, only 1 crossed the plate while he was on the mound. Red Rock would open the scoring with a run in the 2nd, another in the 3rd, and one more in the 4th to take a 3-1 lead. In the top of the 6th, the Elephino would blow the game open with 4 runs, thanks in part to a Cody Giordano 3 run homer to make the score 7-1. Jester King would try to answer back in the bottom of the 8th when Lorenzo Acosta cranked a grand slam to close the gap to 7-5; but that's as close as it would get. Red Rock would celebrate the 7-5 win and a 3-2 series victory.
