Repeat performance: Phillippe 6-1 CG win for Ee-Yah

NLDS Game 2
Ee-Yah Orators @ North Podunk Banana Bears


With 96 wins in the regular season, the Banana Bears were heavily favored heading into the NLDS against the Ee-Yah Orators.  Things haven't progressed according to plan however, as the Orator rotation has tossed back to back complete game wins, jumping to a 2-0 lead as the series heads to Ee-Yah.

On this night it was Deacon Phillippe who employed a "bend but no break" philosophy.  While seemingly on the ropes for much of the night, Phillippe never allowed the big hit, stranding nine runners.

In a game that was much closer than the final score indicates, the Orators scored five in the sixth on 5 hits, a hits batsmen, and a walk.

Starter Lines:
Phillippe(EYO): 9.0 IP, 9 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 3 K
Brecheen (NOB): 5.0 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 3 K
