0-for-1, 2 walks.  First at-bat he walked while the guy missed outside all day.  Second at-bat he swung the bat once, through a change over the plate, and then the guy peppered the outside again and got a cheap and way-outside ball to be called strike 3.  Third time he fought over it.  Coupla fouls, some wild outside pitches and a pitch on the outside corner that went Ackley's way.
 

Ackley's team wins 1-0, and you can watch him in the finals on Saturday on the internet.

"Peoria will hope to be the Javs instead of the have-nots for the second straight season when it faces the Scottsdale Scorpions at Scottsdale Stadium in Saturday's winner-takes-all contest, beginning at 3 p.m. ET.

The Javelinas' attempt to win their second consecutive championship will be broadcast live on MLB.com and MLB Network, with Greg Amsinger and Dave Valle calling the game. Fans can also watch pitch-by-pitch action on MLB Gameday."
