Wings win, clinch playoff berth....Post date July 26th, 2007
...The Wings clinched a playoff berth last night at Big Mac beating the Hornell Dodgers 7-4. The team took the clinch in stride, with no celebration, as their sights are set higher, attempting to take the pennant. The results from last nights game puts Allegany just .5 game in front of the Wings for second place, and Elmira just 1.5 games in front of the Wings in first place. With one game left against both teams there is a possibility the Wings could make a move on first. However, if they can at least take over second they will be guaranteed home field advantage for the first round of the playoffs. Now to last night's game...
...The Wings (23-15) found themselves down 1-0 after in the bottom of the second, this would end the Wings scoreless inning streak at 30 1/3 innings, but that would be the last lead the Dodgers (21-19) would have on the night. The Wings answered back immediately in the bottom of the second tying the score when Shawn Summers (Francis Marion) singled and Ryan Hypke (Francis Marion) walked. Nick Spisek (Westchester) then doubled to pick up Summers making the score 1-1. The Wings then added 3 runs in the third as The Dodgers loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batsman. Nick Spears (University of Texas Pan Am) then picked up 2 RBI's on a solid single through the gap into left field. Then Hypke plated the last batter of the inning scoring Brendan Stokes (Northeastern), who drew a walk earlier in the inning, on a SAC fly to right. The Wings lead would be 4-1 at the end of three. The Wings added single runs in the 4th, 5th and 6th. In the 6th Andrew Damewood (University of Texas @ Tyler) capped the Wings scoring with a solo home run to right centerfield, his third of the season, to make the score 7-3. The Dodgers would add one more in the 7th, but 7-4 would be as close as they would get. Ed Paul (3-2) (Francis Marion) pitched 5 innings of solid ball and earned the win on the night, Lance Rhodes (SE MIssouri St.), Jason Bowman (Westchester), and Paul Bertuccini (LSU) each pitched one inning holding the game for closer Kyle Bellamy (Miami) who closed the game and earned his 14th save on the season.
...The Wings host the Niagara Falls Power this evening, first pitch is at 7:30. The Wings will also play host to Allegany County tomorrow night at 7:30. Please check back for more information regarding playoff scheduling. Once the playoff picture is finalized we will announce the home payoff schedule. Come on out and help the boys win the pennant! �
