The Wolfpack entered this contest with a two game win streak and some
strong confidence that their offense had been improved. It was, the
Wolfpack were putting more balls into play for Boston forcing the
Renegades to make some plays. Boston got off to a horrible start at the
plate as the first four hitters struck out before Joe Quintanilla put
them on the board in the 2nd inning. Boston had six of its seven hitter
strike out to start the game. After three innings Boston lead the
contest 1-0. In the fourth inning the bats woke up as Aqil Sajjad,
Larry Haile and Shayne Cantan plated back-to-back-to-back runs to give
Boston a 4-0 lead. Coach Weissman was able to get all of his 12 players
into the contest in a team win. Shayne Cantan paced the offense with 2
runs as Joey Buizon and JJ Ward also played runs. On defense the team
made 11 stops on the Wolfpack led by Justen Cantan (5), Joey Buizon (4)
while JJ Ward and Sengil Inkiala each had one. |

The Long Island Bombers travelled to Boston to play
a double header
with the goal to change the mojo that had been all Boston as the
Renegades had beaten them twice in 2011 by a combined score of 25-8.
Just as had happened in the previous two games, Boston jumped out to a
quick lead plating 4 runs in the first inning. Boston may have gotten
cocky or over confident and Long Island clawed it's way back into the
game after Boston had 11 consecutive batters make outs on 5 stops by
Matt Povugel, 2 stops by Jim Hughes and 4 strike outs. After 4 innings
Long Island held their first lead over Boston of the year by the score
of 5-4. In the 5th inning, The Bombers got a lead off run from Jose
Dejesus but Boston's Aqil Sajjad got it back in the bottom of the frame
to keep it a 1 run defecit for the Renegades. Dejesus plated his third
run of the game in the 6th but with two outs, Aqil Sajjad (who scored
his first three run game of his career) and Joe Quintanilla tied it up
to send it to extra innings. Long Island drew blood in the 7th on a
bomb by Alex Barrera to left field that went over everyone's heads.
Boston sent up Joey Buizon with two outs in the 7th and he hit a
dribbler to the right side and beat the man to the base for what
appeared to be the game tying run. After an umpire conference, it was
ruled Buizon missed the base and the Renegades win streak was over.
matt Povugel led the Bombers with 7 stops as the Boston bats were very
quiet in this game. |

Boston knew that NJ would be hungry after losing 3
games by a total of
4 runs when in Long Island. The Renegades would be slow and steady on
offense as the team scored at least one run in every inning. A
combination of great defense by Justen Cantan, Guy Zuccarello and Evan
Silver and 10 strike outs for the Lightning kept New Jersey at bay.
This game never felt comfortable for the Gades as it was just 6-3 after
4 innings before Larry Haile added some insurance with run scoring hits
in the 5th and 6th. The game ended with a crazy play as Omni Romero hit
a grounder up the middle the slid by Justen Cantan to Evan Silver. In
Evan's attempt to make the out, he kicked it right back to Cantan for
the out. Larry Haile plated three runs for Boston but the surprise was
provided by Guy Zuccarello who made three stops on defense and who
scored twice despite not having in at bat since the last game of 2009. |

Similar to two weeks prior, Long Island won the
coin toss and Boston
came out and plated five runs highlighted by Larry Haile scoring twice
in an inning. A balanced offensive attack had eight different players
score runs. An exciting moment in this game happened in the sixth
inning as rookie Ben Rubenstein scored his first run on a bomb down the
third place line. Then Joey Duggan lofted a high fly ball to
centerfield (for his third career run) and Aqil Sajjad had his first
multi hit game of his career with a run scoring hit down the third
baseline. The other story line here was the amazing defense for the
Renegades as Justen Cantan (4 stops) and Evan Silver (3 stops) led the
defense which made 10 stops on 14 balls in play. This win was the fifth
in a row for Boston over Long Island and its eighth overall win in a
row dating back to the end of the 2010 season. |

The Long Island Bombers travelled to Boston to play
a double header
with the goal to change the mojo that had been all Boston as the
Renegades had beaten them twice in 2011 by a combined score of 25-8.
Just as had happened in the previous two games, Boston jumped out to a
quick lead plating 4 runs in the first inning. Boston may have gotten
cocky or over confident and Long Island clawed it's way back into the
game after Boston had 11 consecutive batters make outs on 5 stops by
Matt Povugel, 2 stops by Jim Hughes and 4 strike outs. After 4 innings
Long Island held their first lead over Boston of the year by the score
of 5-4. In the 5th inning, The Bombers got a lead off run from Jose
Dejesus but Boston's Aqil Sajjad got it back in the bottom of the frame
to keep it a 1 run defecit for the Renegades. Dejesus plated his third
run of the game in the 6th but with two outs, Aqil Sajjad (who scored
his first three run game of his career) and Joe Quintanilla tied it up
to send it to extra innings. Long Island drew blood in the 7th on a
bomb by Alex Barrera to left field that went over everyone's heads.
Boston sent up Joey Buizon with two outs in the 7th and he hit a
dribbler to the right side and beat the man to the base for what
appeared to be the game tying run. After an umpire conference, it was
ruled Buizon missed the base and the Renegades win streak was over.
matt Povugel led the Bombers with 7 stops as the Boston bats were very
quiet in this game. |

The Bombers had good confidence after beating
Boston in the first game
of this double header for the first time since 2008. That confidence
showed early as Long Island scored twice in the first and held a 3-0
lead going into the bottom of the 2nd. Boston woke up. Joey Buizon led
off with a line drive into right field for the first run. Guy
Zuccarello hit a line drive to first for the second run. After Joe
Quintanilla was put out, Larry Haile, Shayne Cantan and Aqil Sajjad
scored on consecutive trips to give Boston a 5-3 lead. In the third,
both teams would plate a pair of runs but the Boston bats would go
silent. In fact they would put up zeroes on the board and heading into
the last frame clinger to a 7-5 lead. In the late innings, the story
was Justen Cantan. He had 5 stops through 5 innings but he could not be
everywhere and after making a stop on the 6th, Nick Esposito scored to
make it 7-6. Cantan made his 7th stop but Jose Dejesus tied it at 7
before Cantan ended the inning with his 8th stop. Boston would not
score in the 6th and neither team would score in the 7th as defense was
good on both sides of the ball. After Boston had made 15 outs in a row
(only 4 by the way of a strike out) and with 2 outs in the 8th, Larry
Haile lined the first pitch he saw into deep center field to end the
game in walk off fashion ( as he led the Renegades with 3 runs in the
game). This was his second walk off hit of the year and his career.
Justen Cantan was the star on defense for Boston as he collected 10
stops on 10 attempts to become just the 2nd Player in team history to
make double digit stops in a game (Darren Black was the other player).
This was the second longest game in Renegade history at 8 innings as
Boston and Long Island faced off for 9 innings in 2009. |

Entering the World Series, Boston was seeded eighth
and the Sonics were
seeded 13th based purely on how the teams finished in the 2010 series.
Boston got things started as Larry Haile led off the Game with a
grounder up the right side for a run. Joe Quintanilla would score on a
pop fly to the right side in the second but Wichita would get one back
as Terrance McCall who last played against the Renegades wearing a
Stockton Stingray uniform would plate what would be the only run for
Wichita in the game. The big story here was in the 4th inning when
Boston would score 6 runs as Shayne Cantan scored twice in the inning.
Wichita would struggle for the rest of the game striking out 8 times
from the 4th inning on for a total of 11 in the game. Sengil Inkiala
would get an at bat and score on one of his longest hits of his career
in the 6th inning but would come up lame with a hamstring injury. This
injury would relegate him to defense for the majority of the
tournament. This was just the 9th time in team history that the
Renegades held an opponent to one run or less. |

Austin entered the tournament as the 3 seed based
on the 4th place
finish in 2010. They had also beaten Wichita by the score of 15-3 in a
game in which they 12-runned the Sonics but lost their lead - off
hitter, Axel Cox to a knee injury on the 2nd pitch of the world series.
Boston won the coin toss and chose to be the home team. Austin's Craig
Cotton led off the game with a run scoring hit and then with two outs,
the 4-5-6 combination of Roy Eubanks, Bobby Lakey and Mariano Reynoso
plated runs to give the Blackhawks a 4-0 lead. Boston was prepared for
a high scoring affair and in the second inning, Larry Haile plated his
second run of the game and Shayne Cantan tied it up at 4 but Cantan
came back to the bench limping with a hamstring injury and exited the
game. In the third, Kevin Sibson struck two hitters out giving the
Renegades an early Christmas gift and Boston would then get three more
to keep the pressure on as Guy Zuccarello, Larry Haile (his 3rd run of
the game) and a huge run from Evan Silver who came in off the bench for
the injured Cantan gave Boston a 7-4 lead. Austin would plate a run in
the 4th after 8 consecutive hitters had made outs to pull the score to
7-5. In the 5th Aqil Sajjad made a nice play on a hard hit to the right
side to keep the lead at two. Coach Weissman rolled the dice and
brought Shayne Cantan back into the game in the 5th to try to get some
insurance and Cantan delivered the final blow to bring Boston to 8
runs. In the 6th, The Austin bats had to come alive and Richie Flores
was put out on a deep shot up the middle by Larry Haile. Guy Zuccarello
was fired up as he was screaming to his team....."We got one how many
do we need!". Roy Eubanks scored to make it 8-6. Then Bobby Lakey hit a
ball past Justen Cantan which was gobbled up by the limping Shayne
Cantan as Zuccarello screamed "We got two how many do we need!". Pinch
hitter Ernie Cook grounded out to Justen Cantan on a nice hit and the
Renegades pulled off the biggest upset of the 2011 World Series to earn
their first ever one seed entering the double elimination bracket. The
Renegades played great on both sides of the ball. This game was one of
the best-pitched performances in Renegade history as Ron Cochran struck
just two hitters out in the game tying for the lowest K rate in a game
at just 8.7%. On Defense, Boston recorded 14 stops, tied for the 2nd
most stops in a 6-inning game in team history. The challenge would be
how to manage two bad hamstrings...but for now, the team had beaten
Austin for the first time in team history and the excitement proved
that all of the years of hard work had finally paid off, the Renegades
were for real! |

A one seed for the first time paired the Renegades
up with the
rebuilding Cleveland Scrappers. A team Boston had lost 5 of 8 against
in team history, but also a team in which the Renegades had a three
game win streak against. The Gades went into this game with both Sengil
Inkiala and Shayne Cantan on the bench resting their injured legs.
Cleveland had a new pitcher on the bump named Todd Simmons and their
bats were either hitting it hard or missing. Cleveland would eventually
strike out at least twice in every inning. This match up was much
closer than it should have been based on the seeds as the Cleveland
defense held the Renegades at bay. Boston would build a 4 run lead
thanks to a three run inning in the 2nd and a great coaching moment for
Justin Manjourides who caught Cleveland in a double call resulting in a
run for JJ Ward. In the 4th Cleveland would pull within two at 6-4.
Boston would eventually win this game in a squeaker as three Scrappers
made at least 4 stops. Christian Kelley would make 4 stops at 3rd base,
Jeff Dell would make 4 huge stops in centerfield and Stanley Griffin
would make 5 stops up front to keep the Renegades off the board.
Cleveland would end up striking out 14 times in this match up and the
Renegades would win their first round match up for just the 2nd time in
team history. |

The RHI Extreme had won 4 games straight in the
series and Boston had
won three straight. Both teams were one seeds in their brackets as RHI
had beaten New Jersey, Indianapolis, Tyler and the Southwest Slammers.
Though the Extreme were a new team, they were full of familiar faces
from the Indianapolis Thunder and the Kansas All-stars. Runs would be
scarce early on as only James Michaels (in the 1st) and Shayne Cantan
(in the 3rd) would plate runs through the first three frames. For Indy
the issue was strikeouts as 4 of their first 10 hitters would whiff.
For Boston the problem would be James Michaels and Clint Woodard who
would make 6 of the first 9 outs for Indy. RHI would catch fire in the
4th as they would score on 4 consecutive trips to the plate to make it
5-1. Boston would not be able to scratch another run across and would
lose 7-1, the 6 runs was the most amount of runs the team would lose a
game by in all of 2011. The one run scored was just the 9th time in
team history the renegades would score 1 run or less and the first time
since the West Coast Dawgs held them to 1 run in the 2008 series. The
RHI Extreme would go on to place 5th in the World Series |

As Boston moved to the Losers bracket, the
Cleveland Scrappers were
riding a high after getting an exciting come from behind victory over
the Minnesota Fighting Lions. In that game, Cleveland scored three runs
in the last inning to come from behind and win 4-3 behind a relief
pitching appearance from Cleveland great, Kevin Barrett. Boston would
bring a different line up into this game as both Sengil Inkiala and
Shayne Cantan would be in the line-up. For the 4th time in 5 games,
Boston would lose the coin toss and be the away team. Larry Haile and
Shayne Cantan would lead off with runs for Boston in the first. In the
3rd Justen Cantan and JJ Ward would each plate a run to give Boston a
4-1 lead. Then Cleveland made a pitching change for the 2nd consecutive
game entering Kevin Barrett as the Scrappers were looking for magic
again from their legendary pitcher. This time, the Boston defense would
answer the call. As the Cleveland bats began to put balls into play,
the Renegades began to rack up stops. The only Scrapper who would plate
a run from this point forward would be the lead off hitter, Christian
Keeley as Justen Cantan, Guy Zuccarello, Sengil Inkiala and Shayne
Cantan would shut the Scrappers down. On the offensive side for Boston,
the bats again struggled with the Cleveland defense as Jeff Dell would
make 4 stops in centerfield, Stanley Griffin would take away 8 balls up
front and Wilbert Turner would make two stops at first base. Boston
would win the game 6-3 and even the lifetime series against Cleveland
up at 5 games each winning their 5th in a row against the storied
Scrappers. This loss would eliminate Cleveland and send them to the
9-11 bracket. It would later be discovered that the NBBA had set up the
brackets wrong as Cleveland was eliminated in both the single and
double elimination brackets from the same team, something that should
not have occurred. |

This was not the same team which had beaten the
Renegades in the double
elimination portion of the World Series bracket in every year since
2007, it was stronger. The Storm had recruited players from the now
defunct Kansas All-Stars. The storm entered this game with 4 wins
against one loss. The loss had come at the hands of the Bayou City Heat
on day one in a 25-15 game. On that day the Storm had defeated
Cleveland, a team Boston struggled to score against by a whopping 20-0
score. The good news for the Renegades was the Renegades were riding
high with confidence, playing great defense, getting timely hitting and
had the luck of a bye while Colorado had to play two games in a row in
the heat before finally facing off against a fresh Renegade team.
Boston would win the coin toss in this match up and elect to be home.
In the first, the Renegade defense quickly settled in as the Colorado
storm were introduced to Justen Cantan who made the first stop of the
game (and far from his last). At the plate, Boston was drooling over a
huge gap in the Storm defense on the 3rd base line and Shayne Cantan
found it on a blast down the line to give the Renegades a 1-0 lead.
Colorado would get it back quick, as Ethan Johnston would score to lead
off the 2nd before Justen Cantan(2) and Larry Haile would make stops to
end the inning. Justen Cantan would lead of the bottom of the 2nd with
a score on a weak grounder up the middle to go ahead 2-1. With two outs
in the 3rd, the speedy Johnston would score on a grounder down the 3rd
baseline on a ball in which Shayne Cantan just missed to make the score
2-2. Colorado’s Steve Patton would lead off the 4th with a
scoring hit
up the middle of the field to give the Storm their first lead at 3-2
while the Boston defense kept making outs on Steve Lyles (who would go
on to hit .588 and finish 2nd in the offensive MVP tournament team) and
(former Kansas All star)Doug Biggins at the top of the order. In the
top of the 5th Justen Cantan would record three straight stops on
defense and then with two outs in the bottom of the 5th he would hit a
line drive toward short stop and plate his second run of the game to
make it 3-3. Cantan would then make two more stops to lead off the top
of the 6th against the Storm’s 1-2 hitters again (giving him 9 in
the
game at this point). Sengil Inkiala would make the last out of the 6th
as Boston was on a high with hopes of a walk off victory as they had
their 1-2-3 hitters coming up in the bottom of the 6th. After a long
delay due to a helicopter hovering over the field, Larry Haile entered
the batters box with his eyes on his 3rd walk off of the year and he
blasted a hard hit to the right side and the designated fielder, Rocky
Zamora was the 3rd person to dive at the ball and he made the first
out. Shayne Cantan then hit a line drive up the right side as John
Parker ranged over to make the stop for the 2nd out. Aqil Sajjad then
hit a hard grounder down the right side and was put out by Demetris
Morrow. Boston had three hard hits and Colorado made three stops by
three different Storm players. Going to the 7th inning, the teams were
reminded of Johnny Walkers statement at the beginning of the game in
which he said, “are you ready for another epic Boston/Colorado
match-up”. In the 7th Colorado caught a break on a few mistakes
by
Boston and when the dust settled, they had 4 additional runs including
the only runs of the game from their 1-2-3 hitters. Justen Cantan would
get one back for Boston in the last of the 7th but Boston would again
lose to the Storm (this time by a 7-4 score) and for the 3rd time in
team history would be eliminated from the World Series by Colorado.
Justen Cantan would end the game with three of Boston’s 4 runs
and 11
stops. He became just the 3rd player in team history with this output
joining Darren Black (12 stops in 2004 vs the Chicago Comets) and Dino
Vasile (11 stops in 2009 vs Long Island). This would eliminate the
Renegades. Colorado would go on to lose their next two games to the
Chicago Comets (12-9 and the RHI Extreme 16-15) to take 6th place in
the World Series. |

The 7/8 seed game paired two teams off who had one
of the most exciting
games of the tournament on the first day as Boston prevailed in that
contest 8-6. Austin's path to this game included a first round loss to
Colorado 14-5, a 12-7 win over the Carolina Warriors and then a 15-12
heartbreaking loss to the Bayou City Heat. Both teams entered the
contest banged up after the week of play and both teams looked to get
many of their players into the game. Bobby Lakey scored to lead off the
game on a high fly up the middle of the field in which Justen Cantan
lost his footing and fell on his rear end to give Austin a 1-0 lead.
Cantan would get revenge recording the next three outs for Boston.
Larry Haile and Shayne Cantan would plate runs to give Boston a 2-1
lead. Lakey would get another run in the 2nd on a break as Justen
Cantan called "dead ball" on a ball that had a weak beep and the game
was tied at two. In the bottom of the 2nd, JJ Ward got on the board
with a high pop fly to the right side and Larry Haile plated his 2nd
run on a line drive down the 3rd baseline to pull Boston ahead 4-2. In
the third, Kevin Sibson uncharacteristically struck out two batters
while JJ Ward And Shayne Cantan each plated their 2nd runs to give
Boston a 6-2 lead. In the 4th, Austin got one back but the Renegade
defense kept making plays as Sengil Inkiala made a stop up front on the
right side and Larry Haile made a stop in left field. The Bottom of the
4th brought about what would be a huge at-bat by Guy Zuccarello who
with one out would score on a weak grounder that would skate by Lakey
and die in front of the 2nd line of defense. This hit came on the 7th
pitch of the at bat and after 4 consecutive foul balls. One of the most
exciting plays of the whole tournament would happen in the top of the
5th as Sam Mckenzie would pinch hit and hit a hard ball to the right
side. On one hop, the ball screamed at Sengil Inkiala and hit him in
the chest. Inky pinned it against his body for the out. Boston could
not scratch a run across the plate and had a 7-4 lead going into the
top of the 6th. Craig Cotton would lead off with a line shot over the
shoulder of first baseman, Joe Quintanilla to make it 7-5. Mariano
Reynoso (who would finish 5th on the all offense team at .556) would
hit a high pop fly to centerfield off the back of Guy Zucarrello and
make the game 7-6. That would be all though as Justen Cantan would make
three straight stops to record 8 on the game. This would give him 39
for the tournament and would eventually place him 3rd on the
all-defensive squad. This win gave Boston it's highest ever finish in
the World Series surpassing it's eight seed in 2008. It also showed the
league that Boston is no longer a team to be over looked. The Renegade
defense ended up ranking 2nd overall in the World Series. |
