The Outlaws had their 2007 season ended after being handed a 7-6 setback at the hands of the Cedar Rapids club. Anamosa scored five runs in the fifth inning to take a 5-2 lead but saw the Red Sox answer scoring five of the game’s final six runs to take the one-run finale in the seven inning contest.
The Outlaws opened the tournament Friday, August 24, hosting the Iowa City Brewers at the Anamosa High School baseball diamond and rolled to an impressive 11-4 victory. Todd Stoffel drilled a big three-run homer to help propel the hosts to the win in the single elimination EISBL tourney opener. Anamosa’s Kevin Corkery picked up the pitching win as the Outlaws used a huge six-run sixth inning to pull away for good.
