Wimbledon Legion baseball Florence Ruthless Raonic completes Sixth-seeded Canadian upsets Federer in 5 sets to sweep of reach 1st Grand Slam final against Murray Manning

B Y SCOTT CHANCEY Morning News

FLORENCE – Florence Post 1 might be known for pitching and defense, but coach Derick Urquhart’s team also manages to get the key hits. The latest example was Thursday’s bottom of the fifth against Manning-Santee. Tied at 1-1, Grayson Cottingham hit a two-run single, and Justin Thompson added a sacrifice fly to help build a 7-1 lead at American Legion Field. That became the final score after the teams’ coaches decided to end it right there after an hour-long delay full of rain and lightning. The game was called with one out in that fifth and Post 1 having loaded the bases. Flor- ence, as a result, sweeps the series 3-0. Normally, in American Le- gion playoff action, a game is eventually finished. But not Thursday’s contest. “It was one of those things where we waited as long as we could,” said Urquhart, whose The Associated Press team improved to 28-2 and Roger Federer falls over during his Wimbledon semifinal singles match against Milos Raonic in London on Friday.
