Field 1 6PM:
Schweddy Balls
(White) vs Fresh Kicks of Ball Air (Black):
In a theme week of pure ridiculousness, we had a diamond in
the rough game between 2 very formidable teams. FKBA really got the ball flying
in the bottom of the 1st inning, as the tag team of Shane Martin and
Lindsay Martin sparked the beginning of a 4 run output with back to back RBI
doubles, putting Schweddy Balls on their heels early. Schweddy Balls would have
the meat of their order up in the top of the 2nd, and got runners on
2nd and 3rd looking to get back in the game early, but a
groundout to 1st stalled the SB offense. Top of the 3rd,
and Schweddy Balls would find the rhyme and reason to score 3 massive runs with
a series of at one point 5 straight batters getting on base, making it a 4-3
FBKA game midway through. FBKA wasn’t too thrilled that SB had rallied back,
but Wes Wilhelm for SB was wheeling and dealing as no offense would be
mustered. Top of the 4th, and the Schweddy Balls comeback was
complete, as the offense would come through for another single turned into a
run to knot the game at 4. Bottom of the 5th, still a 4 all game,
FBKA was ready to explode and they did on offense as RBI singles from Jordan
Eads and Tony Case would put FBKA back ahead by 2. Oh how short lived the lead
was, as Schweddy Balls in the top of the 6th inning, the mastermind
known as Ricky Favilla puts a boot into the ball for a 2 run ride to tie the
game back up at 6. Bottom of the 6th, and FBKA wanted nothing more
than to put the game out of reach, as their prayers are answered by the deadly
Martin duo of Shane and Lindsay, with Lindsay driving Shane home to give FBKA
the late lead. Schweddy Balls would load the bases in the top of the 7th,
looking possessed to score again, but a 3rd out pop out by Daniel
Watson would end SB’s night and give FBKA the late season win. Fresh Kicks of Ball
Air wins, 7-6

Field 2 6PM:
Kicks n Giggles
(Light Blue) vs. Bad News Brews (Daisy Yellow):
If we could sum this game up in one word, that word would be
chaotic, as both teams wanted nothing more than to get ahead in their division
and chase down the title. KNG would get out to their traditional 1st
inning lead, as Connor Carman follows up last week’s performance with another
doozy, coming in hot with a 2 run RBI double to cap a 3 run top 1st.
Bottom of the 1st, and BNB must’ve taken a page out of KNG’s
playbook as Molly Platt does what Carman did for KNG, and booms a 2 run RBI
double up th e middle to cap a 3 run 1st for BNB, tying the game.
This game would prove to be an anything you can do, I can do better match as
neither team allowed a run in the 2nd, almost mirroring kicks and
catches. Bottom of the 3rd, and BNB would strike again as Matt Sayar
would do the deed, booming a sac fly to left and bringing home a run to go up
4-3. Top 4, and that guy named Connor Carman came back to bat and blasts a solo
shot to centerfield to knot the game back up. (See what we mean?) Top of the 5th,
and KNG had seen enough out of BNB, and Alan Paquin would be the dagger as he
motorcades home from 2nd to put KNG up 5-4 late in the game. Top of
the 7th, same score, and KNG would put the game seemingly out of
reach, putting 6 batters up and scoring 2 more to go up 7-4. BNB had one last
shot at scoring, but 3 straight groundouts spelled defeat. Kicks N Giggles win,
7-4

Field 1, 8PM:
HeadShots Should
Count (Sport Grey) vs. Hashtag Balls (Forest Green):
In the 1st of our 2 nightcap games, we came
across 2 juggernauts playing in a game where just about anything went. Defenses
were playing extremely pivotal roles in the 1st and 2nd
innings, as neither team could solve the offensive puzzle. Top of the 3rd
inning, and HSSC would appear ready to strike with rockets off their feet, but
Alison Snatchco snatched all 3 balls on defense for Hashtag Balls and would
keep HSSC at bay. Bottom of the 3rd, and Hashtag had used some of
Snatchco’s momentum, as Scott Holewinsky and Adam Huerta would boom back to
back RBI doubles to break up the scoreless affair, 2-0. Top 4th now,
HSSC would strike back with ferociousness, as Baylor Finch scores Christian and
Liz Watts to bring the game back to a stalemate at 2 a side. Bottom of the 4th,
and Hashtag would look for more offense as Joey McElvy comes barreling around
the bases and slide home to put Hashtag back up, 3-2. The 5th and 6th
innings were quiet on offense for both sides, because the defenses were making
catch after catch, too many great things to put here!!! Top of the 7th,
and HSSC must have found the switch to their power transformer, as they would
ignite the ballpark sky with kick after kick, surmounting in 4 massive runs to
go up 6-3. Hashtag had one more tank of gas to give, and Adam Clark would score
to get it within 2. Hashtag would put runners on 2nd and 3rd,
but a pop out to Nate VanWingerden in center field for HSSC would hand Hashtag
a late season loss. HeadShots Should
Count wins, 6-4

Field 2 8PM:
Sons of Pitches (Ash
Grey) vs. Pitches Be Crazy To (Carolina Blue):
In the final nightcap game for theme week, we got an
absolute gem of both offense and defense on both sides of the field. Bottom of
the 1st, no score, as SOP went to work, and Nancie and Jessica Mogge
would provide the offense, each nailing an RBI single to go up 2-0 early.
Neither team scored in the 2nd, as both teams were invested in
getting off the field as soon as possible with 1-2-3 innings. Top of the 3rd,
and PBCT knew they needed to score soon, and Josh Rodney graciously obliged
with a massive 3 run home run to right field to start what would be a 4 run
inning to go up 4-2. Top 4, and PBCT went right back on the offensive, scoring
another run and slowly putting SOP out of the game tentatively. SOP was still
trying to figure out what to do on offense, as they hadn’t been able to score
since the 1st. Top 5, and Hunter Saltzgiver and Josh Rodney again
proved to be a winning offensive formula as they each drove home a run to go up
7-2 late into the night. Bottom 5, and the Mogge sisters strike again for SOP
as tey each score a run to bring the game within 3. Bottom of the 7th,
and SOP would look to get back and win the game, and were able to plate 1 more
run in the game, but they ran out oftime, and PBCT prevails. Pitches Be Crazy To
wins, 7-5
