MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com -Bridgewater, NJ – Somerset Patriots catcher Travis Anderson hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Patriots a 3-2 win in Game Four of the Atlantic League Championship at Commerce Bank Ballpark on Monday night to clinch the team’s fourth Atlantic League Championship in 11 seasons.
 

Somerset rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning. Center fielder Sean Smith doubled and scored on an RBI single by shortstop Teuris Olivares. After first baseman Josh Pressley drew a walk, designated hitter Jason Belcher was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Second baseman Matt Hagen was then hit by a pitch to bring home Olivares and tie the game up 2-2.
 
The Riversharks took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning. Catcher Josh Arhart doubled and scored on an RBI single by center fielder L.J. Biernbaum.
 
Camden added a run to the lead in the top of the eighth inning. Biernbaum singled and would later score on an error to give the Riversharks a 2-0 lead.
 
Patriots reliever Brian Reith (1-0) picked up the win with a scoreless ninth inning and three strikeouts. Reith also had three saves in the post season. Camden reliever Alec Zumwalt (1-1) suffered the loss, allowing an earned run on one hit in 0.1 innings pitched.
 
Patriots third baseman Brandon Larson was named the series MVP, hitting .458 for the series with three home runs and seven RBI in five games played.
 
The win was Somerset’s fourth Atlantic League title, having won in 2001, 2003, and 2005. The Patriots are the only team in the league with more than three titles.
 
The Four Time Atlantic League Champion Somerset Patriots will play their next home in Spring 2009.
