On a beautiful afternoon for a Burby final, the upstart Anglers were looking to take down the reigning champs, the Spartans.

 

Baker got the start for the Spartans and was throwing gas early, cruising through the first three innings while allowing only a few scattered hits. The Anglers finally broke through in the fourth, when Joe cashed in a triple from Chris Metzler to give them the lead.

 

Chris Metzler was dominant on the mound for the Anglers, continuing his amazing season with another five scoreless innings. That brought him to 15 scoreless innings in the playoffs.

 

Chris Metzler also helped his own cause in the fifth, launching a bomb to right-center for some insurance. The Anglers added a third run later in the inning after a string of strong at-bats, putting the game firmly in their control.

 

Chris Toman then took over on the mound and threw two shutout innings to close things out and secure the first championship in Angler history. With six scoreless innings in the playoffs, Toman helped the team collect three playoff wins without giving up a run.

 

Thanks to everyone for the great season, looking forward to next year.
