SchoolYard AllStars vs. Kickboxing
Kickballers: The weather made this contest a lot more entertaining as the
game progressed, as blowing winds and a drizzle added a few new elements. KBKB hoped
the wind at their backs would help on offense, but were turned away to some
phenomenal outfield catches. SYAS converted in the bottom half of the 1st,
putting one on the board. In the 2nd, Paul Ballweber from SYAS
converted a sensational double play at 1st and at 3rd to keep KBKB scoreless. The
game tied up in the 3rd after KBKB learned to kick away from Paul. In
the top of the 4th, a rocket to Matt Sayar and a heads up dive back
to first got SYAS out of the jam. SYAS struck quickly, scoring 2 in the bottom
of the 4th to go up 3-1. KBKB wouldn't go away though, striking back with 2 in
the 5th to tie it again. SYAS took control from there, scoring in the 5th and
6th, and putting the game on ice. SchoolYard
AllStars win, 5-3
Saved By The Ball vs Lights Out:
Weather helped the offense in the other game, however it was blowing in on this
game, making offense a premium. Lights Out noted the weather, and used bunts
and low drives to score 2 in the 1st, only to be stopped by Becky Squire at 2nd
base to stop the bleeding. Erika for LO hoped return the favor in the top of
the 2nd as she too gets outs at 2nd base to halt Saved By The Ball in their
tracks. LO drove home 3 huge runs to go up 5-0. SBTB searched for some kind of
offense, but the weather and defense held them in check for much of the game. Wes
Wilhelm kept the shutout alive in the 6th with a double play, but when
it was SBTB’s turn to defend the diamond, Kevin Burbach answered back with an
awesome double play of his own to end the inning. SBTB finally went all out and
were able to get 4 runs to avoid the shutout. Lights Out wins, 7-4
Super Eagles vs Hangin' With Patch Adams:
As the night progressed, the weather became an even larger factor, as the wind
and drizzle came a little harder (even a few flakes of the white stuff
appeared!!) The Eagles were flying high, as they soared to a 4 run 1st. Hanging
With Patch Adams wasn't letting the game get away that easy as they countered back
with 3 runs of their own. The farther into the game, the more the cold got to
the players. HPA was able to scratch one across in the bottom of the 3rd to tie
the game at 4. The Eagles wanted more, and got it in the form of another 4 run
burst in the 4th. HPA used a costly drop in right field to score 2, which
brought the game to 8-6. The Eagles used another burst, in the form of 5 runs
thanks to a 3 run bomb from Chris Vinley to go up 13-6. But they weren't done
there... they tallied 7 more runs in the 7th to go up 20-6. HPA was able to
slide 4 more across in the bottom of the
7th, but they came up short. Super
Eagles win, 20-10
CareCore vs Pitches Be Crazy: Both
squads got the brunt of the storm, and they came bundled up for this matchup.
PBC knew to stay warm they had to keep moving, so they moved 4 across home in
the 1st. CC hoped the weather would only affect PBC, but after a
scoreless 2nd, they realized they weren’t immune to the cold. PBC dropped
5 runs on CC to go up 9-0. CC searched for offense high and low, but again were
turned away, thanks to some stellar defense in the outfield. PBC scored again
in the 3rd, 3 runs worth, to go up 12. CC tried booting the ball high and far,
however PBCs outfield were under it all the time. PBC struck again in the 4th,
for 4 more runs to go up by 16. CC turned their focus to defense in the 5th,
and were able to keep PBC off the board – for this inning, that is. PBC wanted
more, and with an offensive switch, dropped 4 more runs in the 6th
to put the game out of reach and secure the win. Pitches Be Crazy wins, 20-0
Chocolate Sensation vs Bazinga: The
weather was beginning to clear for the night cap, however Bazinga were
shorthanded and couldn't field a team. Chocolate
Sensation wins, 3-0
