The first round is complete. Stunning upsets, and glorious wins. The first series pit the Longue Pointe Loggers, Dawson champs against the Ohio Thundercats in their first ever playoff. It was a hard fought series which was accented by some outstanding pitching perfomances by both teams. Dempster heading the rotation based on his Cy Young type season, was shaky as LP uncharacteristically scored 8 to outlast the T Cats. Total effort against Volquez who surrendered 7 er. The game was tied going into the 7th inning. Theriot's double was the difference. Game 2 was all Rick3 Nolasco in a 6 hitter. It was a fine performance, stopping LP cold. Game 3 was an extra innings game won by Ohio. Tied at 2 in the 7th, another tight one. A dramatic ending. Chris Young walked, Johjima bunted him over, But Balfour came in and promptly walked Guillen, and LP killer Kelly Johnson drew a bases loaded walk. Texeira who also had homered, finally walked with the bases loaded off LP closer Grant Balfour. Lincecum K's 8 and Torii Hunter had a big offensive game. Dempster won game 4 with with some timely hitting and great pitching. He K'd 9 in the win. Game 5 saw Carlos Zambrano(1-0) and Ricky Nolasco(1-1) locked horns in a pitcher's duel with Zambrano and the Longue Pointe Loggers coming out on top of the Ohio Thundercats 2 to 1. Zambrano was in control of the game from the outset. He surrendered only 5 hits and 2 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. Ohio had a chance in the 9th but they came up short against Wilson who earned a save...Game 6 was Lincecum's best. He K's 13 in a 2 to 1 victory. Lp will go on to SD for a showdown

San Diego Surf's GM Joe Wallace. Is out for blood. Years of losing has made him hungry and a total CBA force to be dealt with. He dispatched Belfast and JD Adams in 6 games. SD took g 1,2,3 the SD talent just took over. In game 1 it was the small guys, Kendrick and C Guzman who had the big hits for SD. In game 2 it was Manny, McCann, Dye. Game 3 it was the whole lineup just slappin 'em down and scoring runs. In game 4 Belfast won the game with a run in the bottom of the 9th inning on an Aubrey Huff walk. An Alexei Ramirez single, and a Brandon Moss base-hit. Game 5 Nate McLouth blasted 2 homeruns, and Brawlers won in 10 innings by the score of 8 to 7. That game was deadlocked at 7 after nine full innings. SD took their 4th and the right to play Dennis Concepcion and LP winning game 6. Dan Haren racked up an impressive total of 10 strikeouts as the San Diego Surf outscored the Belfast Brawlers 7 to 2. Haren(2-0) was in control of the game from the outset. He gave up just 7 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. San Diego finished with 13 hits, and David Wright had a Homer and 3 RBI's and Wallace is looking like gold. LP and SD will meet to decide Staub.
Indiana Brooklyn was tougher than it looked. The Redbirds took that series 4 to 1. Game 1 was a pitchers duel with Halladay and Oswalt going on into extras. In the end Brooklyn didn't hit, but Reyes did launching a HR for the Indy win. Indy won game 2 by a large margin 14-5. The big boys, Pujols, ARod, Josht Hamilton (5 RBI) did major damage, but in Game 3 Brooklyn's Dice K went the distance. Doumit and Howard Homered. Game 4 a key game went into the 12th inning . Brooklyn rode a Howard HR into the 9th with a 1 run lead. Maglio Ordonez forever the Brooklyn Buckner, dropped a flyball for 2 bases (Why was Denorfia not out there?) to allow Indy to tie and eventually win in the 12thSizemore smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 2nd of the season) resulting in a mighty exciting win for Indiana and the 50,370 home town fans in attendance. For that matter it was all Indiana needed as the Superbas spit the bit once again in 2009. Wait till next year

it be? Run with me....Run with me....and only one run was the
difference as the Southwest Lizard Kingsdefeated the Philly Phantastics in
10 innings 4 to 3. The score was knotted at 3 after nine innings. It went
into extras. Southwest was victorious in the 10th inning. when SW hero,

losing, Philly out-hit Southwest 12 to 8.

Soria gained credit for his 4th save. The loss was charged to Kerry
Wood(1-1) in relief. It was Lindners biggest ever CBA win....

*Owner change Extra RFA necessary
Dennis Concepcion: The man behind the CBA graphics. Staub President, and creator of the Loggers team. DC is one GM that can't be ruled out because he finds a way to beat you. He has a knack for finding variables other than slugging. He relies heavily on platoon system and defense. He has sported teams with 4+ ones on offense. He is known for his small ball game like the one he used to ride such cards as "Miracle Mirabelli", Brian Jordan, and Todd Jones into big moments. He also studies his opponents and plays for the long run. The LP signature is their strong bench, and fantastic pitching staff. He prefers strikeout pitchers, and good hit and run men. Concepcion is unconventional but effective year in and year out. He is also an avid baseball uniform and stadium historical enthusiast.
Rob Hite: CBA legend. Multi year champion. Just like Brooklyn in leading CBA in offense and power categories. Owns several CBA records. Hite is on executive committee, and is an original member. Perhaps one of CBA most prolific traders, Hite is one of the sharpest draft and Stratball minds you'll ever meet. Has keen sense of talent and is ever tough in head to head competition. Rob Hite is a future CBA Hall of famer. He has the championships to back it.
Glenn Kenan: First year for playoffs? A CBA 4 year man. The Ohio team has improved each year. Kenan has traded and drafted himself into a winning team. In a tough conference where teams knock each other around, Ohio is on the cusp of team history should they overcome Maine. Kenan has forged a team that could be the underdog surprise of the CBA season. The little engine who could?
Mike Koepp: Mr Mike to you. Maine is in the 2nd year of playoff hunt. His last playoff was marred by some questionable circumstances, but experience was gained. Koepp is fighting hard. The competitor in Koepp has worked very hard to get this franchise atop Rogers division. He wont relent now, & is ready to beat you.
Dave Jones: Jones has been around the block in CBA. The Leopards are his team. He built them and is likely to make noise this year if they get into the playoffs. Dave always has his team playing tough. Never an easy win, The Leopards gives all Clemente fits. They play well against Philly, SW, and Brooklyn. Jones seems to make trades that keep him in the thick of things.
Eric Lindner: 1 game shy of Southwest's 1998 best franchise win total. Lindner also knows the cards and the game. Loves to compete. Loves to win. Plays well and plays fair. Lindner is fun to play against...Its all fun and sht until you realize he's beating you. Knows how to shoot down his oponents with Strat skill. He is the Lizard King and wants to do anything. Plays in Morrison Stadium. Doors fan obviously, and true artist painter.
Jon Stamets: Has made a seamless transition into CBA to take over Cooperstown. His GM skills will be on display as he takes a good team and has been making them play with efficiency. This weeks series vs Carolina was classic. Knows how to manage, and could be this years X factor as Allentown's Rich Schneider was back in 2004.
