Playoffs Game 3
Apollos 12 Deer Park Cardinals 6
The Apollos and Cardinals met for the winners bracket championship game of the Houston City League. The Apollos decided early that they were going to the ball out of the ballpark as much as possible. In the first inning Will Wade doubled off the fence and was followed by a line drive home run by Bob Phaff. In the second inning after a series of walked Apollo batters Clifton Siems hit a two out, two strike grand slam to make the score 7-1. In the 5th inning Kevin Hall hit a solo homer and Will Wade hit a two run homer.. In the 7th inning Clifton Siems hit another two run homer giving him 6 rbi's on the day.. Sonny Terrazas pitched well in miserable rainy conditions for the win, Mike Estrada came on to record the final 4 outs. 11 of the 12 Apollo runs were plated off of home runs...

Playoffs Game 2
Apollos 5 Mudcats 4

Playoffs Game 1
Apollos 16 Metro Astros 5
Sonny Terrazas decided since he was the starting pitcher he would show up 10 minutes after game time. Sonny will be fined for this heavily.
