Notes: Closer Franklin Nunez is not on the postseason roster for the Revolution, leaving York with a maximum of 25 players. The Revs had been carrying 26 players and shuffling one pitcher to the inactive list depending on which starter saw action most recently. ... Matt Dryer was not in the starting lineup for York. Edgard Clemente replaced him as the Revs' DH. ... Announced attendance 4,038. ... The oldest major leaguer in York County, Gene Crumling, threw out the first pitch. Crumling played in 1945 for the St. Louis Cardinals, earning his only hit against Hall of Fame slugger Jimmie Foxx, who had moved into a relief pitching role for the Phillies during the final year of his career.
