The Boyertown Bear Cubs Junior Legion team completed a dominant playoff run today with a 3-2 victory over Muhlenburg in the championship game.
The Cubs followed a 15-1 regular season league record with a 5-0 record in the double elimination playoff. Pitching was outstanding in all five of their games, as they held their five opponents to 5 total runs, while their hot bats resulted in 35 total runs being scored in their favor.
Ryan Willing got the championship game start and win on the mound for the Cubs, scattering 5 hits over 5 1/3 innings while striking out 1. Cole Galloway earned the save with 1 2/3 innings of shutout ball out of the bullpen. Jonathan Myers went 2-3 at the plate for the Cubs, driving in 2 of the team's runs. Brandon Shane broke the 2-2 tie in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI groundout to take the lead for good.
The Cubs playoff chase continues at the Junior Legion Regional level, where they will be playing in the South Scranton regional starting July 20.
