The Fall World Series began yesterday as the Bulldogs and Bearcats battled in Game #1 of the 2009 ASU Fall World Series. The Bearcats earned a 5-0 victory behind the strong pitching of Chase Barrera and Jerris Springfield as the two hurlers combined on a five-hit shutout.
The Bearcats got on the board in the bottom of the first inning as Issac Garcia launched an opposite field two-run homer over the rightfield fence after Greg Towne had reached first on an error by the Bulldogs. That proved to be enough for the Bearcats as starting pitcher Chase Barrera cruised through 3 2/3 innings before leaving with a knee injury. Barrera gave up two hits while striking out five and walking none in a dominating performance. Jerris Springfield came on and went the rest of the way for the Bearcats picking up a save. Along with Garcia, Zac Leonhardt had a good day at the plate for the Bearcats going 2-for-3 with a double. The Bearcats take a 1-0 lead in the series with Game 2 set for October 9th at 2 p.m.
