Brown tosses 3-hit shutout in Hoplite 2-0 win

ALDS Game 1
Sparta Hoplites @ Gold Country Gossamers

In arguably the best pitching performance of the game 1's, Kevin Brown shut-down the Gold Country Gossamers for 9 innings, yielding just 3 hits and no walks.  The Gossamer starter Preacher Roe was no slouch, and yielded just 2 runs, 1 earned, in 8 strong innings of his own.

The Hoplites scored one in the third, setup by a Cupid Childs error at second, and later added an insurance run in the 9th from back to back doubles by Babe Herman and Derrek Lee.

Brown retired the last 11 Gossamers in a row and induced 16 groundouts on the night.
