On a drizzly sunday for the regular season finale the Crawfords sent catcher Paul “Paulie” Meyer to the hill for his first start of the season and only his 3rd appearance and he made manager Sean Michael Dargan look like a genius with 6 dazzling innings of 5 hit ball, giving up only 3 runs backed by some stellar defense. Jeff Adas, who has spent much of the summer in the Arizona instructional league trying to rekindle the magic was called upon to close out the game and he did in spades, firing 3 no-hit innings with 3 k’s to get the well earned save and a much needed rebound victory for the Craws after a not so great shellacking last week.

Playoffs (playoffs?) start next week with the Craws going up against the upstart Rangers in what has been a mostly one sided matchup in favor of the Rangers all season while the O’s look to rebound and pull off a shocker against the mightu Crabs.
