Denver - Sunday Funday - Week 6 Highlights

Cuernavaca Park Field 1 (10:00AM)

Hose Draggers (Red) vs. Mile High Club (Light Yellow): Mile High came fresh out of the gate with some amazing defense! Even though she didn't have to, Kay Kamienski proved it with a double play that left Hose Draggers scoreless in the top of the first. Mile High iced the first inning cake by showing off their offensive skillz, bringing in 4 runs. Hose Draggers came back with 4 runs of their own in the top of the second, but Mile High was not down and out. They answered with 1 run in the bottom to end the second with a score of 5-4.  Then, it was time. Hose Draggers put on the hurt and scored 8 in the top of the third with a nice HR from Dalia. Chad Ferrier brought the "D" in the bottom pitching 3-up-3-down. Hose Draggers scored another 3 in the fourth and once again shut down Mile High, holding them scoreless in the bottom of the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth, Mile High temporarily stopped the bleeding by holding Hose Draggers scoreless, but then Hose Draggers returned the favor by doing the same in the bottom with another 3-up-3-down. Both teams scored another in the sixth and Nick Hunt made an impressive high jump to stay safe on second for Mile High, closing out the inning 16-6. Ultimately, heat and fatigue were the true opponents for Mile High, and they just couldn't overcome them. Hose Draggers wins, 17-6.

Cuernavaca Park Field 2 (10:00AM)

Gone Rogue (Blue) vs. Fresh Kicks of Ball Air (Green) : This game was a true defensive showdown, with both teams going scoreless in the first. In the second, it took a SAC fly for Fresh Kicks to put up their first points of the game, but Gone Rogue continued to keep their heads up. The "D" for both teams then got back in action and held each other scoreless for the next 2 innings. It wasn't till Brad Callaway from Fresh Kicks had a 2-run homer in the fifth that we finally saw a break in the defense from either team. Julie Lam from Gone Rogue brought in their only score of the game with an RBI in the top on the sixth, followed by an amazing diving catch by Kyle McChesney in the bottom of the sixth. Coming into the top of the seventh, Gone Rogue needed 3 to tie but they were held scoreless by Fresh Kicks. If the ref would have had a ref shirt on, this game's outcome may have been different. We've banned this ref from calling any future Gone Rogue games so Noodles will feel the calls are "equally shitty" going forward. Fresh Kicks of Ball Air wins, 4-1.    

Cuernavaca Park Field 3 (10:00AM)

Ballsagna (Aqua Blue) vs. Banzai Lightning (Electric Yellow): This game was a bit unmatched, with Banzai being short handed and a full-strength Ballsagna teams showing up. Banzai was short a girl, which meant they had to start every inning with an out - but that didn't stop Justin Spanbauer from coming out of the gate with a perfect double play to end the first inning. The scoring didn't start until the third for Ballsagna and Matt Peterson had a high flying 2-run HR to show off his warrior-like leg strength. Then in the fourth, Ballsagna's "tall guy in the grey hat" had a booming HR to beef up their lead. Ballsagna closed out Banzai again in the bottom of the inning, still leaving them scoreless. Banzai was simply out-manned and out-gunned on this one. Ballsagna wins, 11-0.  

Cuernavaca Park Field 1 (11:00AM)

Mile High Club (Light Yellow) vs. Gone Rogue (Blue): With both teams coming off of hard losses in the first round of play, most of our ballers were tired, hot, and needing to turn their Sunday Funday around. Gone Rogue came out swinging and put up 6 runs in the first. Mile High couldn't muster an answer just yet, and the first inning ended 6-0. Neither teams scored in the second and Gone Rogue almost scored in the third when Zack Haynes kicked a single that turned into a triple after 2 errors from Mile High. Amber Kirchner had a great catch in foul territory to close out the top of the inning which successfully kept Zack from advancing home from third. In the bottom of the inning, Mile High finally put up their first point thanks to Phil Nekleton with a RBI single. Both teams turned up the "D" in the fourth and held the score at 6-1, but the fifth brought a different story and a burst of energy. Gone Rogue put up another in the top of the inning and Mile High responded with 3, closing out the inning 7-4. Both teams scored another in the sixth, but that was the end of the scoring for this game. Gone Rogue Wins 8-5.
