Jiminy Kick It vs. Blue Balls V: Both teams came into this crucial
mid-season game looking to bolster their records for the playoffs. JKI wanted
nothing more than to get on the board early, but 3 early pop outs in the 1st
set them packing. Wes Wilhelm went to work on offense early and often, as his 3
run bomb to left center started an 8 run onslaught in the bottom of the 1st.
JKI was searching for a hole in the BBV defense, but there was no weak spot to
be found on this night. BBV was up to their old tricks, as they went bombing
again for a 7 spot in the 2nd, increasing the lead to 15. JKI was
able to muster some offense, getting kickers on 1st and 2nd,
however an improbable double play and error ended JKI’s hopes in the 3rd.
BBV hit the brakes in the bottom of the 3rd, only able to produce 1
run against a rejuvenated JKI defense. JKI was kicking in every direction,
hoping for an offensive battle, BBVs defense came and shut them down 1-2-3 in
the 4th. BBV went to put the icing on the cake in the 4th,
as a 3 run lunar shot by Chris Green capped off another 8 run inning for BBV.
JKI had seen enough and were able to lock down BBV the rest of the way, but
weren’t able to mount a valiant comeback. Blue
Balls V wins, 24-0.
Bazinga vs. KickBallers: Bazinga was looking to maintain a
perfect record this season, as KB was looking to put the 1st L in
the column. Bazinga knew KB’s plan, and had to score early, and did so with an
8 run top of the 1st. KB’s weren’t too happy that their plan had
been thwarted, and looked poised to strike back, but were denied that
opportunity in the 1st. Bazinga went back to what they did in the 1st,
and with the assistance of 2 2 run home runs, went up by 12. KB was able to put
a stop to Bazinga’s onslaught in the 3rd and 4th, while
also being able to score 1 of their own to cut the lead to 11. Bazinga went
back to what worked in the 1st inning, tallying up 4 more runs in
the 5th and 2 in the 6th to go up 17. KB wouldn’t go away
quietly, as they pressed the gas pedal for 4 runs in the 6th to cut
the lead to 14. Bazinga went and put the cherry on top with 1 more run in the 7th
to end the game. Bazinga wins, 19-5.
Basic Pitches vs. I’ll Cut a Pitch: Both teams were looking to get on the
north side of .500 this week, and it was a battle from the start. BP got on the
board in the 1st scoring 1 on a very close call. ICP wasn’t happy
that they were trailing early, but BP was having none of it as they were able
to shut down ICP through 2 innings. Bottom 3rd, and ICP got the
upper hand on a couple perfectly placed bloop singles and were able to bring 2
home, gaining the lead 2-1. This game was as tight on defense as any game, as
there was no scoring through the 6th. Top 7, and BP was on a final
prayer, but alas a blast to center field and an overthrow at home allowed BP to
not only tie the game, but also brought home the winning run…great comeback
BP!! Basic Pitches wins, 3-2
Hashtag Balls vs. Left Shark: Both teams were coming off an L in
week 2 and wanted a W in a big way. #Balls got on the board early, as they were
able to slide a run in in the 1st. Alex Morehead for Left Shark was
unamused, and went yard to deep left center, starting a 3 run 1st to
go up 3-1. Both teams were able to lockdown each other on defense, as both
teams went 1-2-3. Bottom 3rd, and Alex Morehead was back up to the
plate, and went yard again on #Balls, this time for a 2 run HR to cap a 3 run 3rd
to go up 6-1. Left Shark wouldn’t let go on offense, as another 3 run inning in
the 4th proved to be the nail in the coffin, going up 8. #Balls had
a glimpse of glory, as they were able to score 2 in the top of the 6th
before getting tagged out to end the game. Left
Shark wins, 9-3
Pitches Be Crazy vs. Brews On First: The nightcap game was definitely
worth staying around for. Both teams came in defensively ready, as neither team
could get a base runner in the 1st. BOF went to their offense in the
2nd, as a double down the left field line allowed them to bring 2
runs home in the bottom of the 2nd. Bottom 3, and PBC wasn’t ready
to let the game get out of hand, as Daniel Wylie left his body in midair to
snag the inning ending catch. BOF was able to score again in the 4th
to go up 3-0, and thrice more in the 5th to put up a seemingly large
mountain in a 6 run lead. PBC had one more opportunity to get an offense going,
but tonight was BOF’s night. Brews On
First wins, 6-0
