The number one seeded from the West Division D to Z Sports coach pitch baseball team advanced in the post-season tournament by defeating number 4 seeded from the East Division S & K 12-8 on Monday, June 23, 2008. D to Z's overall record stands at 15-2.
Donovan Ferguson's lofty average took a bit of a tumble as he went 1 for 4. His lone hit was a bases loaded RBI single in the bottom of the third.
D to Z did not play their best game of the year, but they still played well enough to score 3 runs in each of the four innings they batted.
D to Z just missed turning a triple play in the top of the third inning as S & K had runners at first and third with no one out. Shortstop Jonah Smith caught a popup over his head in left field with his back to the plate. He turned and saw that both runners had left their bases, and he momentarily halted before racing to third base for out number two. He then fired to first base where the base runner and ball arrived virtually simultaneously. The runner was called safe, although it appeared the throw might have just beaten him. But the umpire was in a very good position to make the call so he probably made the right call. Had Jonah not had the briefest of hesitation before running to third, however, D to Z would have pulled off the triple play.
D to Z plays again this coming Thursday.
