Spuds Mash Pioneers in the Playoffs

The Boise Spuds made quick work of Calgary, sweeping them in the Geoghegan Round. This is the second year in a row that the Pioneers have made the playoffs only to be defeated in the first round by a division foe. Last year is was their rival the Edmonton Jackrabbits that sent Calgary home for a long winter.

In the first game Boise won 8-5, with the Pioneers scoring all their runs in the first four innings. Pepe Madrid was the star for the Spuds driving in 4 runs, while Calgary’s lone bright spot was a homer from Hadji Ufanisi. Starter Jefferson Pierce didn’t make it out of the 5th inning and the bullpen wasn’t much better.

In the second game Frank Boland only gave up 1 unearned run in 6 innings and handed the game to the bullpen with a 1-0 score. The normally solid Ron Gabriel relieved and gave up a grand slam to the Spuds Jude Carter. Boise added 2 more to take a 7-0 lead. The Pioneers managed to score 5 before the game was over, including another homer by Ufanisi, but their rally fell short.

The third game was over when Calgary starter Quintiliano Rodeia didn’t even make it out of the second inning, giving up 5 runs. Jose Arellano gave up 4 more to give the Spuds a 9-2 lead after 4. Boise starter Robin Cooper held the Pioneers to 3 runs and the 10-3 victory. Once again Ufanisi hit a homer in the loss.

For the series Boise outscored Calgary 25-13. Only a handful of Calgary hitters batted over .300 in the series and the only home runs came from Ufinisi. The pitching, well their was none.

I think Joe might be biased.
