A big day at the plate from right fielder Koi-sho Hsi was not enough to keep the Calgary Tartans from extending their lead in the World Series. to 2-0, as they aim to become only the 3rd team to win 2 World Series. Peaches star Koi-sho Hsi was on fine form 3-5 with 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 in the loss, as the travelling crowd sung his name at Baseball Plaza. In a tight game, it was Zach Dadzie’s two-out single in the bottom of the 8th that proved decisive, giving the Tartans an 8-7 leadm which Luis Lopez very capably finished off. The Tartans star closer gave Peaches batters no chance, as he got the final 6 out without a hint of a hit. The Peaches’ Kazakh starter Pavlova Okulshky didn’t have his best outing, giving up 6 in 6.1 innings, while home runs by A. Tarkhan (5th Inning off J. Almanza, 1 on, 2 outs) and A. Alisjahbana (6th Inning off L. Mai, 0 on, 2 outs) were only enough to keep it close. The Tartans are just 2 wins away from another WBL crown.
