Good teams aren't immune from having bad games.

The Jim Thorpe Bruins can testify to that.The No. 1 seed entering the Carbon County Babe Ruth Legaue playoffs continued their outstanding season with victories in the quarterfinals and semifinals.But in Monday's championship game at Christman Field in Franklin Township, everything that could go wrong for the Bruins did.The Pocono Mountain Orioles took advantage of Jim Thorpe's off night, and rolled to a 15-0 four-inning win to capture the title in their first year in the league."All year we've played good defense and have hit the ball well, but tonight we didn't," said Bruins head coach Mike Snisky, whose team suffered only two losses during the regular season. "We just picked the worst day to have our worst game of the season. I don't want to take anything away from Pocono Mountain, because they're a very good team, but we had our worst game all year."Jim Thorpe could only muster two hits in the contest and commited five errors, while the Orioles were peppering the ball all over the field."They crushed the ball," said Snisky. "We've played them twice this year in the regular season, so we knew they could hit. There's nothing you can do but just say congratulations to them."The hitting started early for Pocono Mountain.Nic Kromer delivered a two-run double, while Steve Olizarowicz and Zach Hazen each had RBI hits to give the third-seeded Orioles a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning.Hazen added a two-run single in the second frame as Pocono plated seven more runs to boost the advantage to 12-0."We were very pleased with the way we swung the bats," said Orioles mentor Steve Olizarowicz. "We know (Jim Thorpe) can swing it and hit the ball hard, and I don't think anyone here expected it to be a game like this. It really doesn't show the caliber of team that we just beat. It doesn't speak to the talent that they have and the coaching staff that they have. We expected a much closer game, but that's baseball."Any chance of a miraculous comeback was negated by the right arm of Hazen.The Pocono Mountain pitcher was in full control, not allowing a Bruin runner past second base."He changed speeds and mixed it up," said Snisky. "He hit his spots, and when we did hit it hard we hit it right at them.""He pitched three innings (in the semis Sunday) and we pulled him to save him so he'd have four for (the championship game)," said Olizarowicz. "He said he felt good and wanted the ball again so we gave it to him and he picked up from where he left off."The Orioles offense tacked on three more runs in the fourth, one on a Jared Cirillo single, to complete the lopsided affair."It was a rough game, but we had a great year. We finished 14-3-1 overall," said Snisky. "I've coached them three, four years,and they're a pretty good group. They know baseball, and they know anything can happenany day in baseball."BRUIN OFFENSE ... Noah Snisky had a hard-hit single, walk and two stolen bases for Jim Thorpe.
