In a repeat of last year’s finals, the Dragons took on the defending champs, Royals. This time around it was a different outcome as the Dragons took their first championship series with a 3 game sweep. In game 1 of the finals, Dragons won 2-0, Tim March of the Dragons dominated on the mound by throwing a complete game 3 hit shutout, all the offense was provided by Cam Kirby who drove in both runs of the game, the last run coming from a solo blast. In game 2, Dragons won 5-3, lead by another great pitching performance by Dean Pecarski and a turned double play by Andy Ryder late in the game played a key role and holding off the Royals late surge. Going into game 3, the big question for both teams was if the weather would hold up to get the game in, well game 3 started on time as the clouds and rain held off, and with Dragon supporters in the crowd the team did not disappoint their fans by breaking open the game in the 4th inning by putting up 7 runs to break up a scoreless game and went on to finish the series with a score of 13-1 to take the 2010 SABL championship. Game 3 was highlighted once again by the pitching performance of Tim March, who threw a CG, 8K, 3 hitter and the offense was spread amongst the entire Dragons roster, lead by the three headed monster of Sacha Heravi, Dean Pecarski and Bryan Todes, who all batted over .500 for the playoffs. Good Season Dragons…..enjoy it boys!!!!!
