Reading has defeated the Chicago Whales in the first annual Presidents Cup Series!
In front of 18, 292 paid fans, the Reading Reds, in their away gray uniforms, got out to a quick 3-0 lead. After the last four games, it looked like Reading was at it again and would cruise to an easy win. But not so far, Chicago scored one in the bottom of the 3rd and then three in the bottom of the 5th, taking a 4-3 lead. When the Whales kept the score there for two more innings, it looked like they had a shot to keep their season alive.
But in the top of the 8th, Reading exploded. A walk, triple, intentional walk, another triple, and then an RBI groundout put four runs on the board. Then a double, groundout, and single drove in another run, giving them a four run lead. They padded it in the top of the 9th with another run.
In the bottom of the 9th, a 1-out single kept Chicago alive, but then two flyball outs clinched the win for Reading.
Congratulations to the Reading Reds!
