J & B Painting edges NY Gremlins with walk-off-walk in the bottom of the 7th
For 6 innings, pitchers Roman Godoy (NY Gremlins) and Devon McCullough (J & B Painting) traded goose eggs.
But after McCullough added one more scoreless frame for J&B Painting in the top of the 7th, New York’s Godoy ran into trouble right out of the gate. Leadoff batter Derrick Kennedy struck the big blow, a double into the left field corner. The next batter, Scott Nejah, pinch hitting for Marshal Kronk, topped a 14 footer that no one could get to to put runners at the corners. (cap tip Blair Setford) J&B’s Jesse Pallacious drew the obligatory intentional walk to load the bases, bringing pinch hitter Mark Aranda to the plate. Three straight balls to Aranda put Godoy on cliff’s edge. He managed to come back with a strike, making the count 3-1, but the next pitch was outside on lefthander Aranda and the game was over.
Devon McCullough went the distance to pick up the win for J&B, tossing a 2 hitter, and striking out 6. Godoy also went the distance, scattering 6 hits while striking out 5.
J&B Painting’s win in today’s semi-final avenged an earlier 3-2 loss to the NY Gremlins in an earlier winner’s bracket semi-final.
J&B Painting will move on to the championship game against the tournament’s lone unbeaten team, Hill United.
Entering the tournament finale, both teams boast pitchers who have given up only 5 earned runs in the entire tournament – Adam Folkard of Hill United and Devon McCullough for J&B Painting.
