7/11 Harmon's "COMEBACK KIDS" 11 - Pettis Plumbing 9

Harmons & Bartons closes out a great season (13 - 4) with a 11-9, 8-inning victory over Pettis Plumbing, to capture the Westbrook City Championship. Pettis battled, but finally succumbed to a determined HB team that swept Pettis 3 games in the regular season and capped it off with a 2 game sweep in the City Championship. HB ended its season in typical style..the come back kids scored 2 in the 7th to tie the game while Mike Mowatt came in to relief pitch, stopping Pettis and flush any hopes by the surging Plumbers down the drain!
This game had all the drama you could hope for in a championship final. HB opened the game by scoring a quick, first inning run as they have done consistently all year, with a Mowatt single, stolen base, and Keegan Goan delivering a sharp single ~ HB 1 Pettis 0. Pettis wasted no time answering the bell, with a run of their own, in the bottom of the first ~ HB 1 Pettis 1. From here, HB looked to be in "coast mode", with HB adding 4 more in the 2nd and another 1 in the 3rd, to build what seemed to be an insurmountable lead of 6-1. Trever Clouatre got it started in the 2nd with a BB, then 4 straight singles by the HB big bats of Mowatt - Nealey - Goan & Fagen ~ HB 6 Pettis 1. Ace Chad Egeland appeared ready to wrap this one up. After coasting through 3, HB came in with Ace # 2 Keegan Goan looking to close it out, but a few defensive lapses and a key hit got Pettis back into the game ~ HB 6 Pettis 7. HB scratched back to get a run and tie it in the 6th 7 -7, but Pettis would have no part of it, scoring 2 of their own in the bottom of the 6th. This game appeared headed for the "IF" game ~ HB 7 Pettis 9 Heading into the top of the 7th and down by 2, HB had been in this position numerous times during the year, thus called the self proclaimed "Comeback Kids" Mike Mowatt lead off the 7th with an HBP (our team batting champ & possibly the league's) did what he has done all season and delivered a gap shot, two bagger, scoring Mowatt and putting himself in scoring position to tie the game. After Keegan Goan grounded out, moving Nealey to 3rd, Pat Fagen delivered a long fly ball easily scoring Shane Nealey, with the tying run. For the season long fans of HB, everyone in the house had to now sense an HB victory. This was HB's typical "come from behind" method. With Mike Mowatt waiting patiently to take the mound, Pettis is shut down at the end of the 7th ~ HB 9 Pettis 9 . Due to darkness, the suspended game carried to Wednesday, with HB coming to bat in the top of the 8th. HB, with little to no true weaknesses in the batting order, quickly ended any doubt to the outcome of this game. After 1 quick out, Darryl Quinlan (DQ) quickly spanked a sharp single to left and with 2 outs, the drama began to unfold. Up to the plate steps Trevor Clouarte, after getting a quick strike on him, Trever turns on a fastball and launches a long fly ball, to the fence for an easy, stand-up double and scoring DQ from first, with what proved to be the eventual game-winning run. Shane Nealey added a little insurance with a sharp single to left, scoring Clouatre and this one was all, but "in the books". In comes Mike Mowatt to wrap it up, in the bottom of the 8th, and put the exclamation point on it with a final out strike out. HB = CITY CHAMPS.
Congrats to the Harmons & Bartons players for a well-deserved, City Championship. HB led in the standings from day one and never looked back. Contributions came from everyone on the team. This great group of kids got a well-deserved championship. The coaching staff wants to thank the parents for their support and the kids for all the laughs they gave us throughout the seasons. A special thanks also goes out to Harmons & Bartons for their sponsorship.

After 5 plus solid innings of pitching from Pat Fagen and some timely hits and agressive base running, HB opens up a 9 - 1 lead and hangs on for the win.

The HB big bats started to wake in the 3rd, as Pat Fagen unleashed his fury with a double, driving in the first 2 runs of the game.

6/10 HB vs Pheonix 6-10 (PW) @ Warren

HB runs into a solid PW team that had primed itself for revenge of an early season loss to HB. After both teams exchanged leads, PW had the final say in this one.

Although a tough loss, the HB boys & coaches learned from this loss and that will be invaluable as the season progresses. "TEAM" - - Together Everyone Accomplishes More

6/9 HB vs Pettis 8-6 (HB) @ Warren

HB gets tested but shows its medley. After surrendering a quick 5 runs in the first 2 innings and down 5 - 0, HB battled back frame by frame, before overcoming a scrappy Pettis Plumbing team.

6/8 HB v DR 9-4 (HB) @ Warren

HB came out of the gate quickly in this one. A Mike Mowatt walk, a stolen base, and then Keegan Goan busted out a long 2 bagger for a 1 - 0 lead. In the 2nd, after Pat Fagen lined a base hit to left and Joe Quinlan drew a walk up to the plate, in came Keegan Goan, fresh off a first inning double, jumped on a pitch in the zone for a towering blast of the left field score board making it a 4 - 0 game and really sparking the power of the flower! HB went on to add another in the inning on a Chad Egeland single and this game was all but in the books. After building an insurmountable 9 -0 lead, HB went on to cruise to a 9 -4 victory . Solid Pitching once again was a key with Goan, Egeland & Fagen holding the Defending city champs at bay before they broke out with 4 in the final 2 frames.

June 2nd ~ Harmon's v Sappi (2-1 Harmon's) @ WHS
H & B pulled out another come from behind win with a 2 run 6th inning . This game was a low scoring, tense game that saw very few hits ,showing the parity in the league . Using a little inginuity, H & B scrapped a couple runs home when they needed to in the bottom of the 6th. H & B showed some serious depth on the hill using Adam Begos - Pat Fagan and Keegan Goan in the final frame to close it out and earn the save, Pat Fagan picked up the Win. H & B was without the pitching services of their ace Chad Egland and didnt have their play maker & # 3 pitcher Michael Mowatt until the 5th inning but still managed to keep Sappi at bay. The only run Sappi could push across the plate was unearned . H & B is now at a full strength rooster with the highly anticipated return of 2006 all star Darryl Quinlan (out with broken thumb). DQ brings another dimmention to this already solid line.

May 28th ~ PW v Harmon's (3-6 Harmon's) @ Warren
A great start to the Babe Ruth baseball season last night at Warren . Two very evenly matched teams played to the wire and then some with H & B pulling out a 6 -3, 8-inning, come from behind victory over PW . Harmons & Bartons showed a little more than Flower Power with fantastic pitching that included Goan - Begos - Boothby - Egeland and Mowatt to close it out! H & B used some crafty base running from Trever Clouatre & Mike Mowatt and timely hitting from Dillon Nixon & Joe Quinlan to bring H & B to victory. PW had this one, until a 2 out walk opened the door. Mike Mowatt stole 2nd & 3rd, before cruising home with the winning run, on a throw that got by the 3rd baseman and sailed into left field .
