Hoffy just gets it done in game 2.

The bats were silent for most of the night, but team Hoffy showed just why all 7 innings count, coming from behind with a 6-run seventh inning to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the semifinal series.

Paddy Barry's put up a 5-spot in the third inning on well-placed drop shots. Hoffy got 3 runs back in the fourth inning before going hitless in both the fifth and sixth. Stellar defense from Nelly in centerfield and Glen "Chico Lind" Bosse at second base prevented the game from getting away.

Down 6-3 after six innings, Team Hoffy just put on the hard hats and went to work again. After base hits from T-Frat and Keith McCray, Dave Brolin launched a triple in the gap in left center to make it 6-5. Steve Lannan then tied the game with a single. A base hit from Jon Bosse and a heads-up walk from Nelly loaded the bases for Steve Yocco, who knocked in the go-ahead run in a close play at the plate that might have resulted in an out had PB's catcher been standing on the plate (as opposed to two feet in front of it and trying to put a tag on a force play). The Game and Glen Bosse cleaned things up by knocking in two more runs to give Hoffy a 9-6 lead going into the bottom of the seventh.

In the bottom of the seventh, the two mainstays for Hoffy, solid pitching and good defense took control and shut PB down.

PB is a talented team that will be a contender in this league for years to come. But last night, one team played like they have been in the playoffs before and one team didn't. One PB outfielder said it best when he chirped "All night" to Stevie in the first inning. That's right PB, that's the difference between us, you guys talk all night and we play all night!

GAME 3 TUESDAY NIGHT AT 8:30 P.M. AT KINCAIDE FIELD!!
