The Brookers and The Bears have a long history going back to the 1980‘s and 1990‘s. Today’s game was a repeat of some those battles of long ago.

 

Boyertown got on the score board first and jumped ahead in the first inning with two runs. Brooklawn came right back an tied the game. Boyertown got another run in the second inning, score 3-2.

In the 8th inning the Bears Ryan Pinter comes in relief and works his way out of a bases loaded jam. He is struck in the face by a ball but recovers to get the out. Great play by Pinter when you consider that he was hurt. 

 

Top of the ninth, Brooklawn is three outs away from the title. But the Bears would not go quietly. Boyertown’s first three runners reach, they have a run in with nobody out. Two more runs in on an RBI double by Jeffrey Werner. Lead cut to three nobody out.

 

The Bears Jeffrey Gehringer hits a single and drives in two more runs. The Bears trail by one. Still no one out. The crowd is standing, fans from both sides can’t believe what is happening. 

 

After a flyout, Boyertown’s Hartman comes in to hit and works a walk. Two on, one down for Cameron Ferreri the ninth hitter. Brooklawn makes a change in pitchers, left-handed ace Cody Brown. Ferreri gets a base hit and ties the game, still two on, one down. The Bears Schwager files out, two down. Brown strikes out the next batter.

 

Crowd continues to stand, yelling. What an exciting game. Score tied 9-9.
