Posted Aug 8/11 - 2011 FARWEST LEAGUE CHAMPS-HUMBOLDT CRABS


Crabs eliminate A's then sweep Pearl to win Far West League title

The Times-Standard
Neil Tarpey/The Times-Standard

ARCATA -- They won the title the hard way, losing the tournament opener and then having to win four consecutive games.

Ultimately they won it with excellent starting pitching.

The Humboldt Crabs defeated the Neptune Beach Pearl 5-1 and 6-3 in a pair of tournament championship games -- after beating Fontanetti's A's 7-2 in an elimination game -- to win three games on Sunday and capture the 2011 Far West League championship at the Arcata Ball Park.

”Brant Cummings and the Neptune Beach Pearl, I thought this was their year, but we were resilient and pulled it out,” said Crabs manager Matt Nutter. “I knew we had the pitching, so I thought if we hit we could do it.”

In its four-game tournament win streak, Humboldt's four starting pitchers -- Aaron West, Cedar Morgan, Kyle Crawford and Zach Morgan -- put on a marvelous display, as they allowed a combined four earned runs (six runs total) and threw 32 of the final 36 innings.

”They're (the pitchers) the ones who kept us winning games,” said Crabs head coach Robin Guiver. “Even when we were in offensive slumps, they kept us in games.”

In the day's final game -- the 5-1 clincher -- Humboldt's Zach Morgan pitched six strong innings, surrendering an unearned run and four singles, while striking out six.

Joey Van Cleave followed with two innings of shutout relief, and three-year veteran John Austin wrapped it up by striking out the final batter before his teammates rushed to the mound to celebrate

Austin Prott crushed a solo homer to center in the fourth that proved to be the winning run. Casey Watkins walked twice and scored both times, and Nick Latta contributed a pair of singles.

Greg Ditmer stroked two of the Pearl's six hits and scored his team's only run when Eddie Sorondo singled him home in the second inning.

In the first championship game, Crawford pitched eight strong innings, allowing only two earned runs as he scattered eight hits. Austin earned the save by pitching a scoreless ninth.

Mike Senter homered and singled for Neptune Beach, Will Sparks doubled and singled, and Jeff Stephens and Graeme Agate also contributed two baggers.

For Humboldt, Ivory Thomas homered and scored twice, while Latta singled twice and kn ocked in two runs.

But the Crabs key performer was left-fielder Matt Lopez, who batted 4 for 5 with a run and a ribbie.

On defense, Lopez caught a potential sacrifice fly and lasered an on-the-fly throw home where catcher Watkins tagged out Spenser Payne for a double play that ended the fourth inning. Back in the first inning Lopez also fired to third baseman David Del Grande who tagged out Stephens thinking of stretching a double into a triple.

In Sunday's 10 a.m. game, Cedar Morgan had a no-hitter for 6 1-3 innings, and finished with a complete-game five-hitter in the Crabs' 7-2 victory.

”My dad just got into town and it's the first time he saw me pitch up here,” Morgan said about his father, Wayne, who once played AAA baseball for the Houston Astros. “It's the last day here and we want to win it, to do it for the fans. We got a good early lead and I just tried to let my defense do the work.”

Thomas had the game's big hit when he launched a colossal three-run homer that cleared the triple-tier fence at the 380-foot mark and sailed out onto U.S. Highway 101 South. Thomas finished with two hits, as did Del Grande, who smacked a double.

Nick Backlund's two-run single in the ninth scored Scott Masik and John Hanley and helped Fontanetti's avoid the shutout.

”It was two good teams going at it, and it's very hard to beat a good team twice,” said A's manager Steve Cannady, whose team nipped Humboldt 1-0 on Friday night. “They (Crabs) did what they needed to do, they got on top early and we couldn't get to their pitcher.”

On Saturday night, West's complete-game 12-strikeout performance in the Crabs' 2-0 shutout against the Atwater Aviators kept Humboldt alive and gave it the chance to play -- and sweep -- three games Sunday.

The Crabs finished the season with a 40-13 record and won the league championship in the first year of the Far West League.

”It was a great tournament,” said Neptune Beach manager Brant Cummings. “It was the first year of the league and we went through some growing pains, but when it was over it was a success.”

Posted Aug 6/11 - Fontanetti's A's upset Crabs 1-0

Defensive gem helps Fontanetti's edge Crabs 1-0

The Times-Standard
Neil Tarpey/The Times-Standard

ARCATA -- Ker-rack sounded the wood bat, driving the ball on a line towards the right-field corner. Fontanetti's outfielder Scott Masik raced to his left and then dove airborne, his glove extended back and out. The ball nestled in Masik's glove and he fell to the ground, holding onto the ball.

But he was not quite done.

Masik -- who entered the game as a defensive replacement the inning before -- jumped up and fired a strike to first base to double off Ivory Thomas, who raced back to first after running the bases, not thinking the ball had been caught.

Masik's spectacular play -- the best of several great defensive plays made by both teams -- helped Fontanetti's A's defeat the Humboldt Crabs 1-0 in a Far West League postseason tournament game Friday night at the Arcata Ball Park.

”He made a great play on that, it turned the game around,” said Crabs head coach Robin Guiver.

The nail-biter between two old rivals featured superb pitching.

A's starter Mike Monelo allowed just five hits as he threw seven shutout innings, just as he had done against the Crabs back in early June.

With the loss, the Crabs will play at 7 p.m. tonight against the winner of the 11 a.m. game between the Redding Colt .45s and the Atwater Aviators.

Fontanetti's will take on the Neptune Beach Pearl in a winner's bracket game today at 3 p.m.

ARCATA -- What seemed like a minor error proved to be the game changer.

Blake Martz connected for a sharp single to knock in teammate Scott Masik to give the Fontanetti's Athletics a 4-3 victory in the bottom of the 10th inning over the Redding Colt .45s to kick off the Far West League Tournament at the Arcata Ball Park on Friday afternoon.
