Bears Rally Past Monarchs to Claim 1-0 Series Lead
The New Arkton Bears started the League Championship Series in dramatic fashion today, stealing Game 1 from the Capital City Monarchs in a walk-off. New Arkton won 4-2 behind a good day from starter Brian Duncan. The right-hander threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which gave the Bears a 1-0 lead to start the best-of-7 series.
Bucky Hayes was the walk-off hero for New Arkton. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bears center fielder hit a dramatic 2-run home run to send the teams home.
“Exhilarating win,” said Duncan.’
Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Walnut Street Stadium. Slated to start are Elton Nord for Capital City and Gary Cox for New Arkton
