Field 1 6 pm:
Pandora’s Box (Royal
Blue) vs. Sons of Pitches (Ash Grey):
In what would be a proper sendoff to the Cup, both teams
came in barreling looking to cement their playoff spot. Sean Mcwethy would get SOP out to a booming
lead early with a 2 run bomb in the bottom of the 1st to put SOP up
2-0. PB would get runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of
the 2nd but it wasn’t meant to be as confusion on the base paths led
to a ridiculous double play to end the inning. Bottom of the 2nd,
and consistency was key for SOP, as batters after batters were solving the PB
defense puzzle, altogether bringing home 5 more runs to go up 7-0. Top 3, and
PB would get a chance to get back into the game, with back to back RBI boots by
Renae Allemann and the artist known only as AJ bringing them within 5. Bottom
of the 4th, after scoring another run in the top half, PB’s defense
stood firm and with a boot in the air and a confused runner, PB was able to get
an inning ending double play and only sacrificing 1 run, making it an 8-3
affair. Bottom of the 5th, and the Mogge sisters, Nancie and
Jessica, strike as hard as any tag team and score 2 runs for the vaunted SOP
offense, bolstering their lead to 7. Top 6, and the artist only known as AJ
would strike again for Pandora’s Box, lifting a ball to the fences in right for
a solo trip to put his team a little closer, 10-4. SOP would look to ice the
game, and with a run coming home by way of Katie Strevey, SOP would do just
that, shutting down PB 1-2-3 in the top of the 7th, ending the
regular season on a high note.
Sons of Pitches wins,
11-4.

Field 2, 6pm:
Schweddy Balls
(White) vs. Hot Ice (Heather Grey):
In this week 7 clash of 2 former champions, something had to
give, someone was going to go down. Schweddy Balls would look to impose their
will early, loading the bases with 1 out, but a stud stand on defense by Hot
Ice did the SB offense no favors, stranding them. Bottom of the 2nd,
and Hot Ice would crack Chris Green’s pitching, and thanks to a Davis Tutt 2
run single, Hot Ice would bring 4 home for dinner and break up the shutout.
Anything Schweddy Balls tried on offense, Hot Ice had an answer as they were
shut down 1-2-3 in the top of the 3rd. Hot Ice would strike once
again in the bottom of the 3rd,
scoring 2 more to go up a half dozen, 6-0. Chris Green would do his part on
offense for Schweddy Balls, with a leadoff double in the top of the 4th,
but it was all for none as he would be stranded at 3rd. Top of the 5th,
and Schweddy Balls looked ready to strike again, but by the laces on their
shoes, Hot Ice got out of the jam unscathed. Bottom of the 5th, and
Beau Kelly started doing Beau Kelly things again, with a leadoff triple, then
coming home to score to start a 2 run spurt on offense to put his Hot Ice squad
up 8-0. Top 6, and Schweddy Balls was feeling the pressure, looking to score by
any means necessary, but a ridiculous reaching catch at 3rd by the
woman named Kelsey kept the shut out alive and well. Hot Ice would score once
more in the 6th, and in the top of the 7th, thanks to a
diving game ending catch by Beau Kelly, kept the game at a shutout and secured
a great win. Hot Ice rolls on, 9-0.

Bad News Brews (Daisy
Yellow) vs. Pitches Be Crazy To (Carolina Blue):
This game to end the season had a little bit of everything
that you’d want for a season finale and more. BNB got out to a hot start
against PBCT, booting balls all over the slick turf, sending 2 runners home to
go up 2-0. That lead would not stand, as PBCT went to work on BNB’s defense,
and with a lot of credit due to Josh Rodney’s 2 run home run, PBCT capitalized
and scored 4 in the inning to take the lead by 2. Top of the 2nd,
and BNB was looking to do PBCT in, scored another run on Troy Martinez and got
the game within a run. BNB used that momentum and silenced PBCT, sending them
out 1-2-3. Martinez and PBCT said anything you can do, we can do better, and
shut down BNB 1-2-3 not once, but two times in consecutive innings!!! Bottom of
the 4th, PBCT went back to the heavy hitters, booming home 2 more
runs to blow the game open to 6-3. The defenses were stout on both sides of the
big red ball, neither team allowing a run in the 5th. Bottom of the
6th, and PBCT looked for one more insurance run, and couldn’t ask
for a better pure striker in the game today, as Josh Rodney booms his 2nd
home run of the night, a solo work this time, and put PBCT up 7-3. Top of the 7th,
and Martinez was absolutely filthy, making batters swing and miss, and if BNB got a hold of a pitch, it landed in
Rodney’s hands as he would make the last 3 outs, and secure the victory. Pitches Be Crazy To
wins, 7-3.

Field 2, 7pm:
Bazinga (Red) vs. Hashtag Balls (Forest Green):
In a game where on paper, there should be a lot of offense,
this game proved true for a short while but that’s why we play the game.
Bazinga would get out to an early lead, booming home 2 runs to go up 2-0 (Makes
sense). Hashtag would get runners on 1st and 2nd in the
bottom of the inning, and looked poised to score back, but a one hand snag by
Caleb Van Wingerden at home plate and a rocket back to first put in a double
play and left Hashtag begging. Top of the 2nd, and Bazinga was up to
their usual tricks, this time it was Matt Howes doing a high jump split to
avoid the tag out and turns an almost out into a 2 run home run!!!! Capping
what would be a 3 run inning to go up 5-0. Hashtag, try and try as they did,
could not solve the Bazinga defense, being shut out in the 2nd and 3rd
innings as well. Top of the 4th, and Bazinga layered on the offense,
scoring 4 and looking for more with runners on 1st and 2nd,
but a Willie Mays-esque catch by Zach Schultz on Hashtag kept the runners at
their bases and sealed the offense. Hashtag was able to crack open the offense
in the botto0m of the 4th, with an over throw at 1st
allowing Hashtag to come barreling home and break up the shut out. Top of the 5th,
and Bazinga looked for another run, well they got it off the foot of Nate
Kischer, hitting that extra gear and burning home for a solo shot. Bottom of
the 7th, still a 10-1 game, and Hashtag would get runners on and
another run home, showing life, but it was too little too late. Bazinga rides on,
10-2.

Ballsagna (Charcoal)
vs. Kicks N Giggles (Light Blue):
In a season that has seen a little bit of everything, this
game was culmination of everything that you’d want in an offensive fireworks
display. Kicks N Giggles got the fireworks lit up and booming in the bottom of
the 1st, with too many highlights to contain, as 11 runs are blasted
home for an early 11-0 lead. Ballsagna would strike back quickly as the defense
went to sleep for KNG, allowing 5 runs and getting the game within 6. KNG would
look to create more boom in the bottom of the 2nd, but it wasn’t to
be as Ballsagna would set KNG down 1-2-3. Ballsagna would get a runner on in
the top of the 3rd, but to no avail as the KNG defense would turn 3
straight pop outs afterwards to strand the runner. KNG would get on the board
again, this time an Alex Moorhead GRAND SLAM would be the offense, as 4 more
came home to go up 10. Bottom of the 4th, and Ballsagna made a
pitching change to try to slow the KNG offense, it backfired as KNG would
unload any and all offense they had pent up, 13 runs came home in the inning to
go up an astonishing 28-5. Ballsagna would feel the heat as they were looking
to score in anyway possible, but it wasn’t their night as they were shut down
1-2-3 in the top of the 5th. Bottom 5, and KNG went back on the
offensive, another 4 spot would hang on the board to bolster their lead even
more. Ballsagna would strike back in the 6th, with a run coming home
off the boot of Nicole Yates to get a 6th run on the board. Bottom
6, and KNG was looking for the kill shot, and with a 3 run boot by Alan Paquin
followed by a Solo shot by Alex Moorhead, gave KNG the solid lead and the win
as they turned Ballsagna down 1-2-3 in the top of the 7th. Kicks N Giggles wins,
36-6.

Field 2 8pm:
Fresh Kicks of Ball
Air (Black) vs. HeadShots Should Count (Sport Grey):
This was the absolute gem of the night, as we had 2
powerhouse squads looking to prove they were the superior squad. Neither team
was willing to give an inch on defense in the beginning, as neither team would
score through the 1st 2 innings. Tony Case got the show on the road
in the top of the 3rd for FBKA, scoring all the way from first,
sparking what would be a 2 run inning, putting FBKA up 2-0. Would’ve been more,
but a diving stop in foul territory by Liz Watts cold stoned them. Bottom of
the 4th, and the defenses would bein to show damage in the armor, as
HSSC would score 3 runs thanks to blasts by Cortney Smith and Braxton Finch to
go up 3-2. Top of the 5th, and Tony Case blasted another boot for
FBKA, a 3 run hit, to go back ahead 5 to 3. Top of the 6th, and FBKA
blew the doors off the game, rocketing runs left and right, 7 runs came home to
go up 12-3. FBKA thought it was done, but HSSC clawed and scratched their way
back in, scoring 3 in the bottom of the 6th to get within 6. Bottom
7, and HSSc went ballistic, scoring as many as they could, scored 4 before a
pop out to Tony Case at 3rd for the game winning out. Fresh Kicks of Ball
Air survives, 12-10.
