\"\"<\/a>NEW YORK-The California A’s avenged their Friday night loss against the New Zealand Black Sox just before midnight in New York City, 2-0 — for their fourth consecutive shutout win, and will face Dominicana for the Peligro title. <\/p>\n

The A’s scored their lone runs on a two-out, two-run homer by Paul Rosebush, and made it stand up.<\/p>\n

A lengthy rain delay that consumed most of Sunday had the tournamament scrambling to make and find playable fields, but it appears that they have managed to do so.<\/p>\n

$10,000 in prize money is at stake in the tournament, and has piqued interest in the outcome, to say the least.<\/p>\n

\nChampionship game report from Al’s Fastball<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n11:56 pm, Crotona Park, Bronx NY- California A’s and Dominicana are preparing to take part in the Peligro Sports Tournament Cup Championship game.
\nWilfredo <\/p>\n

12:30am and getting regular updates on the game from Wilfredo. Great feedback from Wilfredo on the support they had today from the grounds crew who whipped a number of diamonds into playing shape and kudos to Jamie Clark who has been sending us game updates all weekend while taking tons of pictures and doing a hundred other things to help this tournament along.
\nI believe its 1-0 for California A’s; Chase Turner hit by pitch.<\/p>\n

12:44am Lucas Matas has 5 strikeouts so far with good control at top velocity. A lot of Suapate!
\nWe head to the top of the third with the A’s leading 1-0.<\/p>\n

1:06am California A’s threatening to add additional runs with man on second and third.
\nOne run scored with a hit by Blake Miller.<\/p>\n

1:16am 10 K’s by Lucas Matas so far.
\nWilfred <\/p>\n

1:20am Dominicana’s anxiety has not allowed them to produce any runs during this important game. They hope to obtain some hits during the bottom of the 5th.

1:36am Lights will be shutting off at 2:00 am as per NYPD. Top of the 6th – California batting up.

1:47am Bobby Rosthenhausler hit a home-run with a man on base. They’ve scored 5 runs this inning. The score is now 7-0 and California has requested 200 cans of brews for the possible victory.

2:11am and no word yet. Maybe they are all in the dark. But I assume its all over but hanging on a bit until I hear for sure and maybe get a game sheet from Wilfredo but if he is too busy, I will look for it in the morning.
\n2:20am – I am assuming Wilfredo is wrapping things up, handing out trophies, etc. and thanking the many helpers he had all weekend. Hanging on a few more minutes before we shut down for the morning.<\/p>\n

2:43am – just heard from Wilfredo, yes, California A’s did win<\/strong> and are demanding those 200 beers. No confirmation of the score yet but let’s call it 7-0 until I hear something later this morning. These good folks deserve a break and a standing O.<\/p>\n

Sensational job of reporting all weekend by Jamie and this evening by Wilfredo. Hard work at the best of time but a full day almost lost because of the rain, Bravo to everyone for making sure the games were played and reported on.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
