Boston Renegades in the News and Media

ESPN Visits the Beep Baseball World Series ESPN was at the 2006 World Series in Cleveland Ohio this year.  They put together a great production explaining the game and some of its players.  Boston was very familiar with the players mentioned in the video as they faced off against all of these teams in 2006.  The West Coast Dawgs were represented in the video by Lupe Perez and Chance Cranford.  Perez scored 5 times in 6 trips to the plate and led the Dawgs in put-outs wth 4 against Boston.  Chance Cranford was a perfect 6 for 6 against the Renegades in 2006 and 5 for 6 in 2005.  This Dawg Combination was responsible for 50% of the runs scored in their game against Boston as they banged in 11 of the Dawgs 22 runs.  Kalari Girtley from the Chicago Comets was 1 for 9 with 2 put-outs against Boston in 2006 after she went 3 for 6 against them in 2005.
