Last Week's Results
Oct 9 - at SAN - W 5-1
Bill Morgan (6 IP, 5 H, 1 BB, 7 K) holds the Missions scoreless through six, while Mike Schaaf's (2 for 3) three-run blast to right-center in the 1st provides all the scoring the Flyers need to win their third championship in franchise history. Johnny Westerman (0 IP, 1 R, 2 H) makes the game interesting in the 7th, but Bruce Rafferty (1 IP, 1 H, 1 K), Oscar Matthews (1 IP) and Kevin Hodgkins (1 IP, 1 BB, 1 K) secure the victory.

The View From The Top (The Manager's Column)
A lot of good performances made this championship possible, from stars like Dale Francis (5 for 12, 4 R) to unknowns like Tom VanWinkle (6 for 15, 2 2Bs)...
Other notables include Dave Snow (1 for 1, 2B, RBI), John Trull (4 for 7, HR) and Mike Schaaf (4 for 18, 2B, HR, 4 R, 4 RBI), plus good work from Bill Frazier (1-0, 2.35 ERA) and Ken Green (1-0, 2.00 ERA) when the rotation got all screwed up... The bullpen also performed well, allowing two earned runs in twelve innings of work...
I'd say more, but my eyes are burning from all the champagne flying around... Just one last thing to say: Victory parade on Friday!
