Reds finished as a 7 seed with a record of 13 wins and 11 losses... 2 games out of first place...

The Reds were knocked out of the first round of the playoffs by the phillies... 2-1

The final week of the season featured the Reds vs the Yankees at Liberty Bell. The Yankees won game one. Game 2 was rained out.

Week 12- Liberty Bell

Reds split with the A's

Week 11- La Salle

Reds split with the Comets. Anthony Nelson dominated game 1. Game 2 was a mess. 13 walks issued from our favorite umpire crew again. I could blame our pitchers, but really every time these bozos ump our games we end up with our pitchers getting squeezed. Over 44 BB's issued from these guys in the 6 games they have umped us!!!!! I think it is time to purchase some new glasses.. There was some positives that came out of game 2. Chris Drobish 8 RBI's.... If anyone is counting that is 13 RBI's in his last 4 games. Dave Rusthoven 2 Triples.. and to top it off Mike Fein did NOT get thrown out!

MVP watch:      Nate Maxwell .567 Batting Avg...

Week 10- Liberty Bell

Reds sweep the Phills and move within 1 game of first place. Chris Drobish lead the way at the plate with 5 RBI's on the day.
Maxwell continued his tear going 4-4 at the plate. Anthony Nelson had a league high striking out 12 batters in game 1. Dave Rosen took a no-no into the sixth inning in game 2, only to give up a blistering home run to Bryant Harmon just coming back from knee surgery.

Week 9 - Plymouth Meeting (Villanova Field)

Game 1: Anthony Nelson picked up his 1st win of the season while the reds pounded out hit after hit. Game 2: 10 Free passes by Reds pitchers led to a Colt 45's victory..(Umpires were brutal.. If the ball did not go down the middle of the plate it was a ball!!... HORRIBLE!!
