Behind the complete game-pitching of Ryan Hummer, the Rays defeated the Braves 8-3 Sunday evening at Water Tower Park. That means one final game for the playoff championship at 6 p.m. Monday at Water Tower, Rays vs. Braves.
The Rays cashed in a pair of walks to go up 2-0 in the first. Meanwhile, the Rays outfield defense stifled several Braves opportunities with good catches and fine throws.
In the top of the 4, Rays player Cole Miller tripled to right field and scored on a sacrifice fly. 3-0, Rays.
The Braves clawed back in the bottom of the fourth. Matt led off with a walk, then scored on Alec's double, with Alec moving to third on the throw home. Connor drove in Alec with a groundout to second. 3-2, Rays.
But the Rays extended their lead with 5 runs in the top of the 5th, topped by a two-run homer by Will Alt.
In the bottom of that inning, Tyler doubled with one out, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Scott's groundout to the pitcher. That capped the scoring, with a final result of 8-3, Rays.
Afterwards, the Braves shook off the outing, and celebrated a fantastic season with a party at Liam's house. Thank you Liam and family!
