MONSTERS WIN 4-1, ADVANCE TO SBL FINAL
OXFORD, AL - The Choccolocco Monsters took advantage of Cartersville Cannons mistakes in Game Three, scoring all unearned runs in a 4-1 win to advance to the Sunbelt Baseball League Final.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, the Monsters capitalized on Cannons errors to get the first two baserunners aboard in the inning. Eli Tidwell drove home two runs with an RBI double, and would eventually score himself on an E4 to put the Monsters ahead for good.
Choccolocco tacked on an insurance run in the eighth on another error by the second baseman that allowed Hayes Harrison to score from third.
Will Baker earned the win with five innings of three-hit baseball, striking out seven and allowing only a solo home run to Will Fincher. Caleb Jatko pitched strong in middle relief, and Avery Brown earned a four-out save.
The Monsters now advance to play the Atlanta Crackers in the SBL Final starting Wednesday at Choccolocco Park at 7:05 pm CT. Tickets can be purchased through this link or at the Choccolocco Park Box Office.
