Defs win 5-1 to end the 2009 regular season....

and win the last regular season game in franchise history as well. They beat the same team they opened at home against in 1995 the Reading Phillies. Now it's on to the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
It was a typical season closer game--if it's close, swing, and let's get the game over with.
Garrett Broshuis threw 6 solid innings to earn to the win and improves to 6-4 with a 3.84 ERA. He gave up 3 hits, one a solo homer and stuck out 7. GB has won his last three starts pitching 18.2 innings allowing just two earned runs.
Geivy Garcia pitched the last three innings to earn his first save of the season. He gave up just one hit and had 2 Ks.
CT held a 2-1 lead into the 8th inning on the strength of a Brandon Crawford RBI ground out and a Mike McBryde sac fly. The Defs broke the game open as Ramon Castro doubled, McBryde singled Castro in and then Brett Pill connected with his 19th HR of the season to make it 5-1 and bringing his EL RBI leading total to 109.
Ramon Castro goes 2 for 2 with that double and scores two runs.

Misc fan notes: Good to see LC as always. Brock Bond wins the EL batting crown hitting .333 (150 for 450). Brett Pill tops the EL leader board withthose 109 RBIs.
The team ties the franchise record for wins with 83. They finsh 83-59. 39-32 at Dodd and 44-27 on the road, best road record in the league.
