Colorado Springs - Week 7 - Highlights

Blackout (black) vs Mediocre at Best (navy):

After a dramatic nail biter the last time these two met, Blackout was hoping to bring their A game this week to even the season series. After a scoreless 1^st inning, Blackout unleashed the beast in the 2^nd getting the first five kickers to safely reach base, including a 2-RBI bases-loaded single by Nick Medina. Blackout put up a stunning 6-spot in the inning, capped by Ben Jones’ RBI double. In the bottom half of the 2^nd, Adam Huerta singled and scored on a grounder by Kevin M. to make it 6-1. Blackout held the MAB offense in check all game and continued to light up the scoreboard on their side. In the 5^th, with a runner on base, Ben Jones again sent a shot to the outfield, but this time over the left fielder’s head. Getting the wave at third base from basecoach Andy Horn, Ben headed home just as the MAB defense got the ball into the infield, who then made a stellar throw to home nailing Ben in the foot as he stepped on home plate, but not soon enough to get him out. Now up 11-1, Blackout padded their lead in the 7^th with a 2-RBI triple by Lucas Bramble and then a RBI single by Tim Menditto to make it 14-1. In the bottom of the 7^th with one last chance to get some runs, Kevin S. booted a 2-out 2-run homer, but it was too little too late as Blackout retired the next kicker to end the game.

Final Score: Blackout 14, Mediocre at Best 3
