SG G-Men win AAA crown

-- Mike Sciacca

The SG G-Men capped an undefeated run through the AAA Division

postseason playoffs Tuesday by holding off Nolan, 18-15, in the

championship game.

The G-Men ran out to a 15-2 lead over Nolan, the regular season

champion, then staved off a late comeback.

The pitching of Tyler MacRae kept Nolan bats mostly quiet for the

first four innings, and the defensive play of infielders Jackson Christy,

Jake Glazer, Sean Kimball and Raphael Vickers, and outfielders Alex

Gromet, Matt Anderson, Tyce Phillip and Robbie Quellmalz helped hold

Nolan to two runs.

MacRae was relieved by Ian Greene and Andrew Shapero.

The hitting of Paul Soloman, Shane Korber, Brian Vail, Sean Spera,

Michael Neihbur and Clayton Steele sparked Nolan’s late comeback attempt.

Michael Opera and Ryan Raffo shared Nolan’s pitching duties and Stevie

Contursi, Garrett Hartwell and Kelan Lindley led the defense.
