Memorial Ballpark - Week 5 Highlights

Lights Out vs. Kickboxing Kickballers: As the regular season draws closer to the end, these teams have one goal in mind: solidify their playoff position. Lights Out rocked the KBKB defense for 6 runs in just the first inning! KBKB responded with a bloop single RBI to get on the board. Defenses were in playoff form as a fantastic double play in the top of the second by KBKB kept the Lights Out offense off the board. Wes Wilhelm was impressive as always on the mound, fanning the KBKB batters in the 2nd and 3rd. KBKB used an extremely rare Lights Out error in the bottom of the 4th to bring home their second run of the game. John Arroyo decided to ice the game singlehandedly, booting a skyrocket RBI triple in the 6th to keep Lights Out in the W column. Lights Out wins, 7-2.

Bazinga vs SchoolYard AllStars: Bazinga returned to playoff form this week with SYAS bringing an unparalleled defensive game this week. These teams went blow for blow on defense, with Bazinga starting the game with a 4-3 double play and keeping the All Stars off the basepath. Matt Sayar of SYAS sangged the 1st out of the bottom of the 1st with a diving catch of his own. Bazinga would later score in the inning. Double plays were in the deck for Bazinga as they pulled a little deja vu on SYAS in the 2nd. Bazinga went to their soft kitty (dressed as pumpkins) scoring spree and racked up 4 runs in the 2nd. SYAS was kept quiet for most of the game and hoped to keep Bazinga contained, but a 2 run 4th and an inside the park HR in the 5th catapulted Bazinga to a powerful 8-0 lead. Mason Boggs came through as the savior for SYAS with an incredible home run in the 6th. Inspired by Masons well doing, Katie Fransioli made an emphatic outfield catch to keep Bazinga in check. Bazinga wins, 8-1.

Pitches Be Crazy vs Chocolate Sensation: Pitches Be Crazy was able to keep Chocolate Sensation off the board in the 1st while taking advantage of kicks into the gap and scoring 3 early runs. CS was sensing pressure from a stout PBC squad and again were turned away in the 2nd. Bo Kelly made his return in week 5and blasted a lunar shot to left center field to cap a 2 run 2nd, 5-0 PBC. CS wasn't about to go down without a fight, yet PBC stonewalled them again in the 3rd, while adding another run for themselves, 6-0 PBC. CS wasn’t in familiar territory and knew they needed a spark. They found the weak link in the PBC defensive armor and brought home 2 in the 4th. Penny Whisenhunt was a motivated woman for CS and made a Willie Mays outfield catch to put PBC on notice. In the end, the PBC defense prevailed as CS wasn't able to bring home any more runs. Pitches Be Crazy wins, 6-2.

Saved By The Ball vs Super Eagles:  On paper, these teams are about even in every aspect, which made this game even more intriguing. Saved By the Ball went back in time to the 80's, while the Super Eagles channeled their inner Peyton Manning AND Tim Tebow. The Eagles went to work in the 1st, putting together a great scoring drive and getting 6 on the board. SBTB was able to turn a double play on the bottom of the 2nd to keep the Eagles off the board. SBTB turned into offense in the 3rd as they scratched 1 run across. The Eagles weren't happy as they converted on a 2 run double to go up 8-1. All was good defensively in the 4th as neither team was able to score, but from the 5th inning on, it was a different story. Bottom of the 5th, and the Eagles solidified their lead as Chris Vinley blasted a grand slam to seal an 8 run 5th, increasing their lead to 16-1. The 6th inning saw a lot of the same (and a lot of Tebowing) as the Eagles used a lethal combo of short bunts and long bombs to put up 12 runs, which made a big lead even bigger. SBTB hoped to regain some offense in the 7th and were able to slide 1 across before the game ended. Super Eagles win 28-2.


CareCore vs Hangin With Patch Adams: Hangin With Patch Adams came to the field ready to make a push for the playoffs, but CareCore wasn't able to field a team. Hangin With Patch Adams wins 3-0.
