Playoff Notes, Edition 2

The Golden Eagles swept the Eastern Division Semi-finals against the Watertown Wizards, their first post-season series sweep in franchise history.

Chad Stang (Midland) was 4-for-10 in the series with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored. Stang has been one of the strongest performers for the Golden Eagles this season after a relatively slow start. Scott Lawson (Miami) was 3-for-9 in the two games and Jonathan White (Vanderbilt) added two runs batted in.

Anthony Giansanti (Siena) pitched two perfect innings for the win in Game 2 at Duffy Fairgrounds in Watertown. Giansanti earned the win after pitching the tenth and eleventh innings after Glens Falls scored three runs for a 7-4 lead in the top of the eleventh. In seven total appearances on the mound this summer, Giansanti is 2-0 with a 0.84 earned run average and one save. In 10.2 innings, the Montville, Conn. native has struck out 13 while walking only six. Giansanti's excellence late in games leaves Manager John Mayotte with a dilemma for the role of closer--one we are sure he is more than happy to have.
