SECOND ROUND
At La Salle University
Judge 4, Ryan 3

At Phila. University
Kennedy-Kenrick 3, O'Hara 2 (9 inn.)
    The game was decided on the game's only error, and the first for O'Hara in 16 playoff innings. Kenny Grant, working his second inning in relief after pitching a complete game the day before, made a throwing error to first base on Nick Sacony's comebacker and Dan Rafferty (double) was waved in from second. Winning reliever Matt Johnson and Chris Lubanski had RBI for K-K. Grant hit a 400-foot homer over the 20-foot-high fence in left-center.
FIRST ROUND

Judge 4, Conwell-Egan 0

At Phila. University
O'Hara 5, Bonner 0
    Kenny Grant fanned 11 in a five-hitter and made CL history with Judge's John Keller -- it was the first time two pitchers threw complete-game shutouts on the same day. Fran Burbidge went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
SOUTH PREPLAYOFF

    Randy Milia scattered seven hits and had a two-run double to make the score 5-2. Ryan McMahon went 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and two RBI. Roman pitcher Phil Terry five times made unassisted putouts on comebackers to the first-base side of the mound. He made tags four times.
