2009 CHAMPION: Crystal Lake Cardinals
RUNNER-UP: Dix Hills Dodgers FINAL GAME SCORE:
Crystal Lake Cardinals 3 vs. Dix Hills Dodgers 0
MVP: Matt Huck, Crystal Lake
Cardinals Batting Champ: Chad Mullins,
Shannon Fence .600 Average
Recap: The Crystal Lake Cardinals (Illinois) shut down some
of the hottest hitting bats in the 2009 National Amateur
Baseball Federation College Division World Series when they
defeated the Dix Hills Dodgers (Long Island, N.Y.) 3-0 in the
championship.
The Dix Hills Dodgers (Federation of Amateur Baseball
Leagues) came into the championship with a .361 team batting
average and a perfect 5-0 record, but Crystal Lake Cardinals
(Metro Amateur Baseball of Illinois) pitching held them to four
hits as Cuban born and Puerto Rican native Cardinals coach
Armando Bombino earned his first College Division World Series
title.
In the final, Cardinals starting pitcher Matt Huck held the
Dodgers scoreless through eight innings and allowed only one hit
through six innings and two more in the seventh. For his
performance against the best hitting team of the series, Huck
was named the World Series MVP.
After two Dodgers reached base in the ninth against closer
Scott Spinelle, a long outfield fly ball struck by Dodger hitter
Alexander Aurrichio (Columbia) nearly cleared the fence and
would have tied the game, but Cardinal left fielder Darcy Doyle
made the grab at the warning track to bring Crystal Lake to
within one out of the championship.
Spinelle got the next batter to hit into a fielders' choice
for the final out, and the Cardinals celebrated after winning
their fifth game of this year's wood bat College World Series by
piling into a celebratory "dog pile" in nearly 90-degree heat.
Crystal Lake scored one run each in the fourth, sixth, and
seventh innings. The Cards broke a scoreless tie in the top of
the fourth inning when leadoff batter Jesse Wight singled, stole
second base, and Corey Moylan hit an RBI single to score Wright.
In the sixth, Moylan made his own case for MVP by clearing
the fence with the only home run of the game. For most teams
playing against the Dodgers in the World Series that would not
have been enough to win the ballgame, but in this contest it was
more than enough thanks to Huck's pitching.
In the seventh, the Cards got another insurance run after
Dave Hoffman singled, reached second on a wild pitch, and scored
on an RBI single by Cory Phillips.
