Richmond Rockers defeat Moon Raiders; Gain 1st Championship

The Richmond Rockers, led by manager Chris Tomlinson, defeated the Moon Raiders four games to one in the first Thunder Bay Baseball League World Series.  The 2004 Rockers were built mainly on starting pitching, but mixed in a few great hitters and a top of the line closer acquired at the trade deadline to become champions.  An early season trade for Roy Halladay paid dividends throughout the postseason, as Halladay won 2 games in his 3 postseason series'.  Pedro Martinez, the Rockers 1st round selection in the 2004 Draft, went 4-1 with a 1.51 ERA during the playoffs as well.  3B Bill Mueller had a great postseason also, smacking 3 homers, driving in 16 runs in 16 games, while batting .317.  Congratulations to the 2004 Thunder Bay Champion Richmond Rockers.
