Cobb, Thomas power Carnies in 8-4 series opening win

World Series Game 1
Otherton Fishbiscuits @ Bertrand Island Carnies



The Bertrand Island Carnies take Game 1 of the ATB XIV World Series.  Danny Haren held his own while Ty Cobb doubled twice and tripled en route to an 8-4 Carnie win.  

The home team jumped out two a 2-run lead on a Ben Zobrist home run plus a Frank Thomas single later in the inning. Thomas later homered as well giving the Carnies a 5-1 lead and with Haren cruising, the game appeared to be all but over.

The Fishbiscuits battled back though, and closed the lead to 1 run, scoring in the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings.  Outfielder Fred Clarke was involved in the first two rallies and solved Haren going 4-4 with two doubles and an RBI.

Bertrand Island wasn't done scoring however, and plated three in the 7th and 8th off of reliever Al Grabowski.

 Jeff Zimmerman closed it out, keeping Otherton off the board by recording the final 8-outs.

Game two is tomorrow night and promises to be a duel of aces.  NL Cy Young winner Addie Joss (23-14, 2.60) tries to tie the series while Bertrand Island counters with AL Cy Young runner up Curt Schilling (19-9, 3.34).
