Montgomery Repeats as Southern League Champions

Huntsville-The Montgomery Biscuits plated three runs in a dramatic ninth inning rally, and overtook the Huntsville Stars for the second straight year to earn back to back Southern League titles. Richard De Los Santos got the start for the Biscuits and gave up three unearned runs over six innings of work, giving up five hits and walking two. The Montgomery bullpen would hold firm as Nick DeBarr, Brian Henderson, and Tim Corcoran shut out the Stars over the final three frames to keep the game within reach.
After Chris Nowak singled in Reid Brignac in the first inning, Montgomery would not score another run for the next seven innings while Huntsville scored three in the fifth to take a 3-1 lead. In the ninth inning however, Chris Nowak and Gaby Martinez lead off with singles for Montgomery before Sergio Pedroza mashed a gopher ball over the left field fence. The three run blast gave Montgomery a 4-3 lead, which Tim Corcoran would preserve in the bottom half of the inning for the save.
Montgomery repeated as Southern League champions to provide the Rays organization with their second championship of the season. Their repeat was the first for a Southern League team in thirty years.

Every has to remember
So don't be surprised if Durham finds themselves in the 2008 Bricktown Showdown.

Re: Montgomery Repeats as Southern League Champion
Don't be dishing on Thor - likely coming to a theater near you someday soon, starring blond again Colin Farrell or Orlando Bloom (gotta get the teenage girls, although I picture Thor as larger) if Marvel keeps going the way it has.
And with the way Trenton pitched this year (2nd best team ERA in minors), the cloud should be throwing the lightning bolt at a cowering opposing batter - maybe a little too scary for the kids though. Want that Biscuit toasted?

Speaking of "Thor",,,,,
I'm reading that "Thor" will be a minor character, possibly, in the Iron Man movie and will be played by the lead actor of the HBO series "Rome". I believe his name is Lucias or something and he may or not be the same guy that is the main character in the new "Journeyman" series on NBC. Iron Man may be the beginning of a few spin-offs. Samuel L. Jackson is playing Nick Fury(I can see the "I got no @%$*) eye!" quote now) and Marvel is considering giving him his own movie.
