CLUTCH "WALK-OFF" WINS FOR WILLIAM BROTHER'S!
The Williams Brothers squad won the 2024 Masters League Championship Tuesday night with not one, but two walk-off wins in the bottom of the 7th inning
WILLIAM BROTHER'S - 15 STATE FARM - 14
In the semifinal game against State Farm, the Brothers answered State Farm's 5 - run 1st inning with 4 of their own and the tight battle was on. 5 run innings in the 3rd and 4th allowed the Brothers to claim a 7 run lead. However, the Insurance men rallied to tie the game with a 4-run 7th inning at 14-14. John Johnson led off the bottom of the 7th with a base hit and after 2 outs were made,
Avery Cooper delivered the clutch walk-off double to score Johnny with the winning run. This was Coop's 4th hit of the game, John chipped in 3 hits and along with Bob Miller, who stroked a 2 run inside the park homer, scored 3 runs as well. Scott Mahon, the winning pitcher in both games, Bob, Scott Libbe, Charlie Oberlin and Larry Hack all had 2 hits each in the 15-14 victory. Defensively, a Bob Miller to Jon LaBeau to Dan Leonard relay job cut down one runner at the plate, and another was cut down at 3rd base in the win.
WILLIAM BROTHER'S 9-8 WIN!
In the championship game against R&J Fence, the Brothers were looking at a 5 run deficit after one inning. We battled back, taking a 7-6 lead with 2 runs in the 5th.
R & J scored twice in the top of the 7th to take an 8-7 lead into the bottom of the inning. Dan Leonard led off with a crucial base hit and after one out was made, leadoff hitter, Jon LaBeau stroked a double to left field. Bob Miller was walked to load the bases. John Johnson came through with a base hit to score one run and Scott Libbe walked off the championship victory with a base hit to left field with the bases loaded to score LaBeau with the championship winning run. Bob Miller, John Johnson, Larry Hack and Scott Libbe all chipped in 2 hits in the victory. Johnny hit a mammoth 2 run home run in the 4 run 3rd after LaBeau had hit an inside the park home run in the same inning. Jon LaBeau hit for the cycle in the championship victory with a single, double, triple and inside the parker... A GREAT SEASON for the WILLIAMS BROTHERS! Thanks to all of my teammates... you made this summer extra special!!!
