The 2018 Stroh's ALDS MVP Award goes to....

LF KEALAALOHI NERIDA, MIN. Round of Applause!!!

The most anticipated first round matchup of the 2018 playoffs was undoubtedly between the 96 win Mutiny and the 95 win, defending Champion Gargoyles. The series did not disappoint and Nerida was able to take the Mutiny on his back to win the series in 7 games, winning the last 3 coming back from a 3-1 deficit. Minneapolis jumped off to a quick win in Game 1 but then allowed LA to win 3 in a row, two games by 1 run and one game by 2 runs. Minneapolis looked doomed down 3-1 in the series but Game 5 they managed to hold off the Gargoyles 2-0 with the help of Nerida's 7th inning HR and Pete Sherman's great pitching performance. In Game 6 Nerida went 3-4 and Minneapolis won 5-4 with a dramatic 8th inning HR by Victor Hicks. Nerida helped seal the deal and pour it on the Gargoyles in a 10-1 victory where he went 1-4 with a 3 run HR. Nerida's totals for the series was a .385/.429/.808, 3 HRs, 8 RBI. Stroh's is happy to announce that Nerida will be their new official spokesperson in Samoa. Cheers!
