Whitesox sweep Indians in exciting final series at Citadel Park

The Parkland Whitesox received strong pitching performances from both Josh Turner and Jamie Cameron to capture their second championship in three years. Turner threw a five hitter while striking out twelve en route to a 7-3 victory over the Indians in game one of the Championship Series. Kukovica, who allowed eight hits while facing 23 batters, took the loss for the Indians in game one. St. Laurent, who pitched in relief, faced eight batters without allowing a hit. Most of the offense in game one was attributable to Aaron Huber, who went three for three at the plate including a triple and homerun while garnering five RBI’s. The supporting cast of Hoekstra and Radke continued to provide exceptional defense for the Whitesox along with very steady bats.

The Legal Indians trailed the Parkland Whitesox by half a game going into their final regular season game against the same Whitesox at Citadel Park.  The Indians, behind a strong pitching performance from Matt Kukovica, outduelled the Whitesox through two extra innings before Yvan Brisson’s line drive single into right center field drove in the winning run to provide the victory.  The Indians scattered eleven hits off of Jamie Cameron who went the distance for the Whitesox.  The Whitesox replied with only three hits off of Kukovica who also went the distance.  With the victory, the Indians captured their second consecutive NCABL pennant and third over the past four years.  The Indians will be hoping to extend their good fortune into the Championship Semi-Final Series scheduled for Keller Field in Westlock on August 21 and 22.
