The Winthrop Eagles advanced to the Region 6 playoffs eliminating the Fairfax Cardinals Thursday Night 6-3. The Cards end their season 10-16. Dan Anderson threw all nine for the win, his second win of the year vs Fairfax. Mark Yrjo was the tough luck loser for Fairfax. Winthrop the #5-seed will now play Saturday Night against #2-seed Arlington for the league championship and draft priority. Good luck to the Eagles in the region playoffs!
Look for Fairfax to rebound with a better year next year. The squad will bring back more experience and some strong arms to the mound next year.
