Like he has all summer, pitcher Steven Tobin was in control on the mound and contributed on offense as well. Outside of a two-out rally in the last inning by New Kicks on the Block, the game was never in doubt.

The Chestnuts will meet Lassen's Assassins behind the H-F Racquet and Fitness Club at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday in the title game.
