Ruess 5 hit shutout leads Carnies in sweep of Shadows


ALDS Game 4 
Bertrand Island Carnies @ Brighton Shadows



The Bertrand Island Carnies advance to the American League Championship series thanks to a great pitching performance from Jerry Reuss.  The 31 year old was a great surprise for Bertrand Island this year, winning 15 games with a 3.45 ERA.  Johnny Mize provided the power with 7th inning 2-run home run.  The platooning first baseman also had a surprisingly great year, hitting 33 home runs in 343 at bats versus right handed pitching.

Overall, the Carnie's outsourced the Shadows 24-11 and batted .333 / .403 / .543, so far leading all teams in doubles, triples, and home runs.

The Shadows under the leadership of 1st year owner David K, had solid season.  Few ATB owners have made the playoffs in their first campaign.

The Carnies now await the winner of the Gold Country/Sparta series.

Starter Lines:
Reuss (BIC): 9.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Walsh (BS):: 2.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 K
