Milwaukee Baseball League Championship

Southshore All-stars 4 PJ's Tigers 1

In a rematch of the 2009 championship game the results would be different this year.  Tony Landgraf avenged his 2010 championship game loss on the hill by allowing only one run by the PJ's Tigers in the 2010 championship.  Landgraf, who missed much of the season due to injury and family commitments, changed speeds and moved the ball around the plate to induce several important fly outs and ground balls that his mates fielded cleanly, rusulting in ten PJ's baserunners being stranded. 

PJ's only run came in the sixth when pinch hitter Adam Karis reached on a flare to left that wasn't fielded and scored on an Andy Monigal single.  PJ's challenged in almost every inning, but the All-stars defense made every other play to keep PJ's off the board.  Second baseman Bryan Mueller stood out by making several running catches of fly balls in shallow right, as well as cleanly handling three other balls.

Landgraf figured prominently in the All-star's scoring as well.  In the second inning, Landgraf walked with two outs.  He advanced to third on a Jason Mikula double and scored on a Mitch Monroe single.  In the top of the seventh, All-stars added two runs to put the pressure on PJ's for the bottom of the inning.  DJ Wojinowski singled and advanced on a walk by Bryan Mueller.  Both runners advanced on a wild pitch with Tony Landgraf at the plate.  Landgraf then hit a double to the right field gap to score both runs and create a sizable hurdle the Tigers could not overcome.  Landgraf then came out and set the Tigers down in order in the seventh to seal the championship.

Tony Landgraf was named Playoff MVP for his performance and Matt Mundt may have secured another Manager of the Year award.  Congratulations to both teams on great seasons.  PJ's Tigers continued their run of excellence for their sponsor PJ's Pub located on Lincoln Avenue.  Southshore All-stars won their first championship for sponsor Allstar Sportswear and third playoff championship as a franchise.
