While the game was a close one for 8 innings, the Lager League would make the most of their opportunities in the 9th, scoring 4 runs (all with 2 outs) to put the game away and claim a 7-1 victory over the Stout League (8 walks in the game, including 4 in the 9th inning was their undoing).

Lager League first baseman, A.J. Conley of Charleville Half Wits would be named player of the game. He would go 1-for-1 at the plate, with a walk and 2 RBIs.

News from around the league:

-Stony Creek Crankenstein trade Art Fisher (3B) to the Smog City Sabre Toothed Squirrels in exchange for Maximo Sarto (RP) and Ben Hart (RP).

Other than the power, not sure if Fisher brings much to the table; so this trade is looking like a steal for Stony Creek, as Sarto has decent ratings to jump right into the bullpen, while Hart has triple-digit potential in his stuff and could emerge as a top-notch reliever if he pans out.
