I got a bit ahead of myself.

Let's wrap up the Brewers regular season with a 3-game series in Charlotte against the MGL's best, the Sting.

And in game 1 the Sting do in fact best the Brewers 2-0. Erik Sloan pitched well enough for a win- 7 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 5 K, 0 BB- but his opposite number, Nick Tolbert, shut down the Brewers pretty completely. Other than Ryan Rodgers (.327/.442/.390), who went 3 for 4 and hit his 2nd triple. Sloan finishes the season 16-8 with a 2.17 ERA.

The Brewers get a narrow win in the second game, 2-1, behind Cheol-han Lee, who allowed 1 run on 5 hits in 7 1/3rd innings. Cheol-han finishes his 1972 season with a 17-8 record and a 2.07 ERA. Jordan Stephens gets his 4th save and improves his ERA to 0.79. Jonathan Koch (.227/.255/.349) was 3 for 4 with 1 RBI.

In the final regular game of the 1972 season, the Brewers lose to Charlotte 4-2. The game was tied 2-2 going into the bottom of the 8th but Dave Duncan had perhaps his worst outing of the season in his very last- giving up 2 runs on 3 hits while getting just 1 batter out in the 8th. He finished the season with a 3-4 record and 5 saves and with a 2.57 ERA. Eric Johnson got the start for Denver and again deserved better as he allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 9 hits in 6 1/3rd innings pitched, striking out 3 and walking none. In his two WPK starts he finished 0-1 with a 3.18 ERA. Mike Foster (.287/.309/.410) concludes a fine rookie campaign with a 3 for 4 game. Andrew Kennedy (.297/.327/.390) went 2 for 4 with 1 run scored.
