By Matthew Kovach
"Rockies Defeat Phillies 3-1."
Rockies coach Eric Ziegler told his team that their 3-1 victory over the Phillies in the 1st round of the OVLL playoffs was a "gift from the baseball gods". The gift, however, came from Rockies right hander Justin Cianca who dominated the Phillies by throwing 4 scoreless innings while striking out 7 batters along the way. Cianca got it done with the bat as well, breaking a scoreless tie in the top of the 4th by roping a single that would plate Brendan Wallace giving the Rockies a 1-0 lead. Jake Volo's RBI double in the top of the 5th gave the Rockies the only other run the they'd need as they as they advanced in winners bracket of the 2011 OVLL Majors playoffs.
