Boston had already won the tie breakers to win the Long Island Classic as the PA Wolfpack walked off on New Jersey in the 2nd game. New Jersey entered the game losing two games by a total of two runs. After two frames Boston led 2-0 on runs by Joey Buizon and Joe Quintanilla. New Jersey tied it up in the top of the third but Boston answered with five runs in the bottom of the third to build a 7-2 lead. New Jersey would chip away as they scored two in the 4th and one in the fifth while Paul Daye and Ronnie Mathews would make big stops to keep the Renegades off the scoreboard. Holding on to a 7-5 lead in the sixth inning Omni Romero would score on a bang-bang play to pull within one run. With Two outs Omar Atin found a hole in the defense and tied the game at 7-7 as New Jersey had all the momentum. Boston would escape the inning as New Jersey did strike out three times in the inning. Joe Quintanilla had a chance to be a hero and was put out on a great play by Sherlock Washington in the outfield. Larry Haile would step up with two outs in the sixth and deliver a hard bouncing grounder to the right side which would give the Renegades an 8-7 win.
The Renegades wins would not be possible without the tireless efforts of all of the coaches who made the trip. This includes giant efforts from Laura Genikos and Jason Lenicheck who were both making their debut as callers in the renegade defense. Ron Cochran was his normal self on the mound as his batters hit .382 and put 76% of their balls into play. Dan Cotter also pitched in getting two runs from his 10 hitters including a big run for Joey Duggan against Long Island (his second of his career). Off the field, Huge props to Jason Lenicheck for coaching the hitters, to Ron Cochran for helping manage the substitutions, to Kether Gunn for helping the base runners and warming up the hitters in the morning, to Trent Davis for keeping score, warming up the defense all day and carting in the drinks to keep the team hydrated. A special thanks to Bianca Caldas for helping out with helping the players through out the day and to Laura Genikos for organizing many of the off the field commitments.
Each and Every Renegade player and Coach who was not at this tournament played a part in the victory with their efforts in practice teaching our players and our new coaches. This win is for everyone!

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.
