Andrew Playoffs

Hey everybody! This is Justin and Andrew with the first post by somebody other than Dad. Andrew's baseball team finished with the third best record in their league this season, and last week they started the double elimination playoff tournament. They eventually advanced to the semi-final game, which was played on Wednesday. This earned them a game against Andrew's team from last year, the second place Dodgers. Andrew's team jumped out to an early 7-2 lead before the Dodgers stormed back and made it 7-6. It was a tough battle, but the Mariners ended up coasting to a 10-6 victory behind Andrew's great play on both offense and defense. He reached base on all four at-bats, including 2 RBI singles. He also played great at first base.
On Friday, they went on to play the Indians in the championship. Andrew played first base once again and was an integral part of the Mariners impressive defensive effort. He also went 2-2 with an RBI double in the Mariners 4-2 win. This isn't the end, however. While the Mariners had lost one game in the tournament, this was the Indians first loss. The playoffs are double elimination, so the Mariners must beat them again Saturday afternoon to win the championship.
