The Mighty Men finished off the Mudcats Saturday in 6 games by a 6-3 score. Adrian Gonzalez was 3-4 with 4 RBIs, including a key 2-run homer that gave the Mighty Men the lead in the third. The Mighty Men took a shot and sent veteran Mike Mussina to the mound instead of lefty Francisco Liriano and it paid off. Moose pitched 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits.
Meanwhile, the Sugar Bears finally snapped their home losing streak and defeated the Hitmen 3-1, winning their series in 7 games. Justin Duchscherer pitched an impressive game in his third start for the Sugar Bears, earning his 2nd win of the series. Hillsborough starter C.C. Sabathia went the distance for Hillsborough, but ended up with the loss.
The Newark-Marietta faceoff is a rematch of the 2007 Series in which the juggernaut Sugar Bears defeated the Mighty Men in 6 games. It marks the third time that the Marietta franchise has appeared in the finals (they won in 2000 when they were the Jerusalem Rabbis).
