Meridians Baseball

K.C. Fread’s 2-run double caps off a 4-run 1st inning and that was more than Scott Barber needed as he guts out 9 more shutout innings to add to his dominating season on the hill (Championship Final: 4-0 over the OS Suds).   Barber tries to outshadow his performances on the bump [0.23 ERA, 10-0, 117 Ks, 5 BBs, 6 CG (78 innings)] by leading the team (2nd in the league) in hitting at a .510 clip (.633 slugging) followed by the rest of the 5 horsemen offensively: Mike Shrimpton (.475), Fread (.411 - led the team with 27 RBIs), Kevin McClung  [.390 - led the team with 37 runs (led league), 13 2Bs and 11 steals - tied with Fread with 39 hits while 4-0 with a 1.31 ERA] and Jared Cutter (.383 at the plate, 1.66 ERA over 65 innings).  

The Meridians were well represented on the Yankees as has been the norm for years now with Fread, Cutter, McClung, Chuck Moore and Mike Soto playing their parts through the season including the only power with both Cutter and Moore going deep in 2010.

The Yankees only give up 1 run during their playoff tear, scoring 28 times themselves!
