2011 ALDS MVP: Las Vegas v. Omaha
The 2011 Stroh's ALDS MVP Award goes to....
CF TY "PASTA" JOHNSTON, LV. Round of Applause!!
It's hard to remember a series that was more offensive than this 2011 clash. In fact there were 104 runs scored with a totals of 61 for LV and 43 for Omaha! That's like an 8-7 game for all 7 games. Las Vegas was down 3-1 and looked to be ready to take Omaha's knock out punch. A large reason for being down 3-1 was the horrid hitting of their star Ty Johnston who was batting .222/0/3 through the first 4 games. Johnston and Las Vegas turned it on in the final 3 games and amazingly defeated Omaha in a humiliating way. Johnston went 7-14, 2 HRs, 11 RBI, 5 R, 1 2B, 1 3B in the final 3 games. He won the Player of the Game for Game 7 and set Las Vegas playoff records in runs and RBI. Pasta and Stroh's make a great combo, don't forget Ty!
