Sole Survivor Series: Nordhagen Beach Party Boys vs Roxbury Rad Sox
Game 6: Roxbury 4, Nordhagen Beach 3
Mour Walks It Off, Roxbury Champions
It's party time in Roxbury. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.
The Roxbury Rad Sox have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 2311 Sole Survivor Series today. They defeated the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys 4-3 at Atomatoys Stadium at Roxbury to officially wrap up the series 4-2.
The Sox's Ayag Mour's RBI walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th clinched the third championship in team history. It is Mour's first in his 14-year career.
With Nordhagen Beach's Beachboy Nut on the mound in relief in a 3-3 game entering the 9th inning, Purple Gupta and Donn Mattingley hit back-to-back singles with one out. With two out and a 3-2 count, Mour was able to slide a hot grounder between 1B and 2B, allowing Gupta to score from second.
Asked how it feels to be a champion, MVP center fielder Ben Pawlak was to the point.
"It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions."
Pawlak batted .375 in the Sole Survivor Series with six doubles, a home run, four walks, four runs, and eight RBI.
The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Roxbury finished the regular season 78-52 and claimed second place in the South Charles Association Railroad League.
