Fresh Kicks of Ball Air vs Pitches Be Crazy 2: This was a match for the ages, an instant ESPN Classic!! PBC would go on the early assault with a run in the bottom of the 1st showing they meant business. Top 2, and FBKA would strike back after a controversial single would turn around into a run to tie up the game at 1. Troy Martinez would be on the bump for PBC2 and would show the league there’s a new sheriff on the mound and at the plate with an RBI double just inside the left field line to put his squad up 2-1. Martinez and Co. would go on the defensive, shutting out FBKA in the 3rd and 4th in order. Bottom 4th, and what would prove to be a bloop single by Kenzie Meek Beck turned another run in for PBC2 to double their lead late. Troy Martinez was still on the bump in the 6th, had gone 5 2/3 of 1 run ball, but the winds of change came blowing over Prospect Lake and Lindie Sailor blasted a 2 run stand up double to center to give FBKA a fresh breath of tied ball game at 3. Top 7, and FBKA convert on an overthrow at 1st which allows FBKA to score the game winning run! Fresh Kicks of Ball Air wins, 4-3
AeroTek Ball Busters vs Win or Lose, We Still Booze: Both teams came into this game expecting to get out of this late season game alive and kicking for the Pikes Peak Cup. Lindsey Sievers showed the GKB faithful what a catch should be with an homage to Suzanne Summer and the clench with a catch using her knees!!!! Both teams went scoreless through the 1st, and the game changed in the 2nd. ABB would get on the board in the 2nd, thanks to a Rodney Cummins double to open up the scoring affair. WLWB would strike back with a Tim Hayes double to knot the game back up at 1. ABB would repeat their 2nd inning effort twice, to go up 3-1. Top 4th, and David Simpson would come up roses, with a rocket to the bleachers in right to get WLWB with in 1 run. Ryan Gimlen was not happy with Simpson’s score, and would propel ABB to a 3 run lead with a stand up 2 run triple. WLWB was looking for answers on offense, but they came up with more questions as they were unable to convert any offense in the 5th or 6th. ABB would try to cement the game with 3 runs in the 5th to go up 8-2 late in the game. David Simpson would try to will his team to another win with his 2nd blast of the night, but it wasn’t to be. Aerotek Ball Busters win, 8-3
Vicious and Ambitious vs Kick Tease: VA and KT both wanted the most out of this game before the big tournament in 2 weeks time. KT would strike early with 2 big runs in the bottom of the 1st to go up 2-0. VA looked poised to strike in the 2nd, however they were turned away after 3 straight pop ups. KT would find the largest hole in the VA defense and expose it as an eruption on offense came from KT, scoring 7 runs capped by a Jen Hollis 3 run double to deep centerfield. VA would have offensive struggles early and often as the KT defense held strong and kept VA off the boards through 4. KT would score once more in the 3rd, to go up a margin of 10-0. Ryan Burns had had enough of the scoring, and was about to change the game in favor of VA with a massive 2 run double off the left field wall to bring the game within 8. Nick Raynor would keep the KT offense at bay in the 5th with a diving catch at 3rd to keep KT off the board. VA would score again in the 6th and 7th, but was too little too late as KT hangs on for the critical win. Kick Tease Wins, 10-4
Bazinga vs Tuckin With Jenner: Both teams came into the week coming off massive wins looking to one up each other for the season finale. Neither team scored in the 1st, but in the 2nd, things got good quick. Top 2, and Bazinga goes hard for the 1st run, but a scary scene at 3rd as Erik Blessman suffers an injury sliding over 3rd base, causing him to leave the game, GET BETTER SOON ERIK!! After a delay, TWJ came hard and fast, taking what appeared to be a commanding 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 2nd. Bazinga would go harder than normal, with not 1, not 2, but 3 2 run bombs by Keith Hausam, Matt Howes, and Nate Kischer to blow open the game, enough to warrant free tacos 7-3. TWJ wasn’t too thrilled with Bazinga’s reign of offense, and would load the bases with nobody out, but the next three batters would be put down, avoiding the scoring threat entirely. Keith Hausam would strike again in the 3rd, with a massive 2 run double to go up a 6 spot. Randy Griswold would make the defensive play of the game in the top of the 5th, with a line drive catch at 2nd base to stop Bazinga’s offense cold after scoring 1 more run. TWJ had one last spark of offense, but 3 long popouts to center would spell defeat. Bazinga wins, 10-3
Ballsagna vs Blue Balls: Both teams came into the week needing a statement win for the playoffs and seeding. Ballsagna would get on the board early with a 2 run triple by Peter Brachhold to cap a 3 run 1st inning. Blue Balls had an answer for everything, as a leadoff HR by Ricky Favilla and a 2 run bomb by Chris Green would knot the game up at 3 runs apiece. Ballsagna would strike back with back to back RBI doubles to go up by 2. Blue Balls would say anything you can do, we can do better as they mounted 3 runs in the 2nd to go up 6-5. Neither team would score in the 3rd, giving the appearance that the game may have gone into a defensive checkmate. Bottom 4, Blue Balls would put together a series of singles and bring home another run to double their lead. Ballsagna would get batters on in the 5th, but Wes Wilhelm would get out of the jam unscathed. Blue Balls would try to put the game out of reach with a 3 run jack by Jon Wright, followed up by an RBI double by Nicole Schanel would solidify a 4 run inning to go up 11-5, essentially icing the game. Nicole Yates would put her best foot forward and drive home a bases loaded run to get Ballsagna back within 5 runs late in the game in the 6th. Not only does she kick, she can field too as Yates has a sensational diving snag at 3rd to keep Blue Balls off the base paths and keep the game within range. Ballsagna would get runners on the corners in the 7th, but the Blue Balls defense proved to be too much, securing the win. Blue Balls wins, 11-6
Hashtag Balls vs HeadShots Should Count: In an offensive fury type of game, either team could’ve very easily won this battle. Hashtag would get out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st, making HSSC perk up their defense more than usual now playing from behind. Top 2, and Hashtag would go to work on the HSSc defense, started by an Alli Snatchco 2 run double, followed by 2 rbi doubles to cap a 4 run 2nd to go up a handful early. Alyssa Blea wouldn’t stand for a sht out, and drills an RBI single to right just past Joey McFly’s outstretched arms. Neither team would score in the 3rd, as both teams made defensive adjustments that paid massive dividends, nor so did we think. Top of the 4th, and Adam Huerta took his turn at the dish and blasts home 2 with a stand up double to go up 7-1. Baylor Finch would be the start of HSSC’s revolution with an RBI triple and score to make it a 7-3 game. Hashtag would get on the board agin in the 5th, scoring 1 to go up by 5 again. The bottom of the 5th inning was a massive turning poing for HSSC as a 2 run double by Chris Lyon, followed by a 2 run single by Klint Kane would make it a 1 run shootout to the end. Christian Watts and Joey McFly would go pitch for pitch in the 6th and 7th, neither wanting to give an inch, and Joey McFly hangs on for the game of the night’s win. Hashtag Balls wins, 8-7
We’ve Got The Runs vs. Pandora’s Box: Both PB and WGTR would go to war, looking to get ahead of one another going into playoff stretch. WGTR would have liked to score, until a sensational double play by PB would end the inning. Maria Petkash would get the offense going in the 2nd for WGTR with a nice speed single that barely beat the throw, but was to no avail as she was stranded. Mike Fagerness would break up the scoreless tie in the 4th, beaming an RBI single to center to put WGTR on the board in the 4th 1-0. Pandora would strike back, with an Andrew Ciccolini bomb to knot the game up at 1, showing neither team was going to give in easily. Bottom of the 6th inning, still a 1 all game, and Andrew Elsass and Candace Knoefler would make a dominant duo, getting into scoring position with nobody out. Rochelle Lira would be the games MVP for Pandora’s Box, as a sac fly RBI drives in Elsass and gives PB a 2-1 lead. WGTR would strike and get on base with runners at 1st and 2nd, but PB found a way to hang on to a very tightly contested contest. Pandora’s Box wins, 2-1
Balls and Dolls vs Beauties and Balls: This late season matchup showed why we play the game every week. Beauties and Balls were poised to make a statement with a win late into the season, but Balls and Dolls was undermanned this week and was unable to field a team, giving Beauties and Balls the win, 3-0
