The Cats Repeat on the PCL

The Cats repeated their PCL championship by defeating the Oklahoma Redhawks 4-2 in the fourth game of the series (they won as they did the Pacific Division 3-1). What amazed me was how several of the Cats seemed to step up their game for the playoffs. The standouts were Rogowski and Conrad but there were others in the mix. Gonzalez contributed a lot to this series. Petit, today, made an outstanding catch. Chris DeNorfia came into the final game with a .542 batting average for the playoffs - that is a good 200 points above his season performance. But that was not the only big jump in play. The team produced an amazing number of home runs for both series of the playoffs.

Whatever skills the Cats bring to the playoffs, they sure seem to know how to step up their game when they need to. It was a wonderful season.
