Back to East Field

Spa Catholic grad Brendan Rowland (Albany) cranked two homers and Mark Onorati (Manhattan) added another as the second-seeded Amsterdam Mohawks took game two of the Eastern Division Finals 5-2 at Shuttleworth Park. Onorati finished the game with three hits and two runs batted in while Rowland added two hits and three runs batted in.

Amsterdam batters besides Rowland and Onorati went a mere 2-for-23 against Golden Eagles pitching.

Jamie Storey (Midland) overcame a three-run first inning to pitch four scoreless innings before allowing another two runs over the final three frames but wasn't helped by a punch-less Golden Eagles offense. For the second day in a row, Glens Falls seemed to have trouble in clutch situations and scoring opportunities. Unfortunately for the yellow birds, tonight's game would not include a thrilling comeback.

Luis Feliz (Rutgers) had two hits for Glens Falls, while Nick McCoy (San Diego) and Jon Koscso (South Florida) tallied a run batted in each.

Golden Eagles ace Shane Davis (Canisius) should be ready to pitch for Game 3. Glens Falls would have home-field advantage in the NYCBL Finals after a Brockport Western Division-sweep of Hornell. Hornell had the best record in the league at 32-10, a half-game better than the Golden Eagles.

Game 3 of the Division Finals will be Wednesday, August 6 at 7PM at East Field.
