Blowfish Season Ends Short of Finals

Gastonia, N.C. (Blowfish) — The Gastonia Grizzlies capitalized on an early opportunity, defeating the Lexington County Blowfish in game three of the West Division Final 5-2. The Blowfish will end their season falling one win short of advancing to the Petitt Cup Finals. Gastonia loaded the bases early, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Brennan Morgan, and a two-run double by Alex Reynolds. They pounced once more in the second inning, as Casey Scoggins drove home Jeremy Howell, who was sacrificed over to second one batter earlier. The Grizzlies took advantage of an ill-timed error to cap the scoring in the fifth inning. Halfway through the game, rain stopped action for just over a half hour. The extraordinarily rainy weather pattern affected every game in the playoffs for the Blowfish except for game one of the second round on Sunday.
