By Adam Kilgore The Scottsdale Scorpions were a collection of prospects from five different major league teams, but looking over the highlights of their 3-2 victory Saturday in the Arizona Fall League championship game, it would have been had to tell. Nationals players dominated the game and the box score. Bryce Harper drove in the first run with an RBI single, Derek Norris scored the second after a single and Stephen Lombardozzi drove in the game-winning run in the fourth inning with a double. Sammy Solis started and allowed two runs (one earned) over four innings for the win. Cole Kimball retired all three batters he faced in the ninth for the save. And so, the Nationals' contingent lifted their team - managed by Class AA Harrisburg Manager Randy Knorr - to the AFL title. It would have been difficult to script a better final day for the Nationals; Lombardozzi even won the league's Sportsmanship Award. In 10 games, Harper finished 13 for 39 (.333) with four walks, three doubles, two triples, one home run and 13 strikeouts. Playing twice a week, as the second-youngest player in the league's history, Harper surpassed expectations. For all the success Harper had and the star power he brought, Kimball may have been the most impressive National in Arizona. Including his inning Saturday, Kimball allowed one earned run in 13 innings while striking out 16, walking two, hitting two batters and yielded eight hits. Kimball, then, had four more strikeouts than base runners allowed. Solis enjoyed a particularly strong finish, allowing two earned runs in his last 12 innings. On Saturday, he struck out three, walked one and allowed three hits. 這篇感覺有點像是老王賣瓜 XDDD，不過小朋友們表現優異也是事實:) 另外第二段好像有誤...所以我改了一下... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 在 AFL 的冠軍戰中我們家的潛力新秀各個都表現不俗，同時 Scottsdale Scorpions 也 在2A教練 Randy Knorr 的帶領下擊敗 Peo Javelinas 成功奪得了冠軍。 Sammy Solis 先發4局被敲出3支安打，1次四壞球保送並送出3次三振，失掉2分不過只有 1分是責失分，成功拿下這場比賽的勝投。 Derek Norris 在二局下半率先上來打擊並敲 出一支帶點運氣的內野安打成功攻佔上壘包， 隨後靠著隊友的高飛犧牲打護送下跑回來 得到球隊的第一分，將當時比數扳成了1:1平手；緊接著 Bryce Harper 又擊出了重要的 安打並帶有一分打點，使得 Scottsdale 在第二局成功逆轉比數形成 2:1 的領先。不過 四局上半 Peo Javelinas 再度將比數追平成2:2平手；四局下半 Stephen Lombardozzi 在二壘有人兩人出局的情況下擊出了深遠的二壘安打，壘上跑者回來得到第三分，這1分 也是這場比賽的致勝分。 Michael Burgess 於第八局上來代打並且成功選到保送。最後 Cole Kimball 於第九局上來關門， 成功讓對方打者3上3下守住這1分的領先並記一次救 援成功，終場 Scottsdale 就以3:2 擊敗 Peo Javelinas 獲勝。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 最後恭喜 Lombardozzi 獲頒 Sportsmanship Award (最佳體育精神獎) (*￣▽￣)/‧★*"`'*-.,_,.-*'`"*-.,_,.-*'`"*-.,_,.-* 希望小朋友們都能夠繼續維持這樣的好表現，再接再厲:) (PS：話說不知道 Norris 的守備究竟練得如何？ 我一直看到有外國鄉民認為他不適合當一個捕手...) --
