NFL 15 - The Barbarians 11
The youngest team in the NSL Playoffs notched a win in game one of the best-of-three playoff series against the regular season champions, The Barbarians. Riding the right arm of Jim "J-Mo" Moleti, which has been strengthened over the summer from lifting entire lines of lobster traps with one hand. NFL played great team defense and used superior base running to capture the win. The Barbarians were without their 13-game winning pitcher Bobby Serino, and instead had to settle with Paul Mignone who was pitching in his first playoff game. The cowbell was also in attendence and attracted fans from all over town, including players parents and friends, and some NFL groupies who painted NFL on their beautiful young midsections. The Barbarians jumped out to an early three to nothing lead but it wouldn't last. The young players from NFL showed resiliency in the end and secured the win with a 7-run top of the fifth.
