Panning went off on Cologne for a homer in his 1st AB and an RBI single in his 2nd AB to lead YA into the 2nd round of the playoffs, for a matchup with Brownton.
YA defeats the Hollanders, move onto Brownton
YA beat Cologne in a bit of a hairy one, where Cologne showed they have a little bit of comeback to them. However, YA takes the game 5-4 and sweep the series in 2 games.
Kuerschner kept YA off the ball in his 2nd outting of the year against YA. The Cardinals pieced runs against him early taking the early 5-0 lead. From then on out, YA had a tough time producing a run. During that time, Cologne made a gallant comeback. Starting pitcher Kohls cruised early, but the Hollanders figured him out a little as the game went on and chipped away, finally getting into the Cardinal bullpen in the 7th inning. The Hollanders used their momentum to get a couple more off reliever JP Schwartz, but in the end he closed the door on the Hollanders and on their season.
UP AND COMING!
