vs Gym Class Heroes (royal blue):
After
falling behind 1-0 early, GCH led off the bottom of the 1st with a double by
Mike Permar and a single by Erin Blessman, who then both scored on a line drive
double to right field by Keith Hausam. Down 2-1 after one, BOF started the 2nd
with 3 straight singles, and Kevin McLaughlin plated a pair of runners with a
sac-fly to help give them a 4-2 lead. In the 3rd, BOF opened up the floodgates
on offense. After loading the bases, Alex Tunell lined a bases-loaded shot
through the infield for a 2-run double. Later in the inning, Sam Schultz
smacked a 2-RBI triple to help give BOF a 9-run lead. In the bottom of the 3rd
as GCH were hoping to start a rally, Nic Wetherill booted a line drive fly ball
to left field, but Zach Schultz came in and made a superman diving catch for
the defensive play of the night. In the 5th, BOF’s Craig Woolridge sent a shot
to right center field off the defender’s hands for a RBI triple to make it
12-2. In the bottom half of the inning, GCH’s April & Andy VanRuler both
got on base and then scored on a huge boot to left field by Erin Bernier who
ended up at third base on the play. BOF got another run in the final inning to
put a cap on their best offensive performance of the season.

Blackout (black) vs Kick
Pitches Get Money (carolina blue):
In
the marquee matchup of the week, these two contenders fought a tough battle on
both sides of the ball. Blackout got on the board first with Andy Horn’s RBI
single to right field. KPGM answered in the bottom of the 1st with a RBI double
by Koen Litt to help give them a 2-1 lead. Blackout quickly tied it at 2 in the
top of the 2nd, but KPGM answered with 3 runs in the bottom half to take a 5-2
lead. In the top of the 3rd with runners on second and third, KPGM’s pitcher
Marc O’Meara gathered a ground ball and faked a throw to first base to catch
Blackout’s Nick Medina trying to sneak home for the out. Ryan Piper would make
up for the base running error by nailing a 2-RBI double to left field thanks to
a drop by the defender to make it a 5-4 game. In the 5th, KPGM got an insurance
run with a sac-fly by Dave Fournier to make it 9-6. In the final inning,
Blackout would copy the script of Kick in a Box to put together a clutch 2-out
rally. With the bases loaded, Shane Jahnke kicked a perfectly placed blooper down
the right field line to make it a 1-run game. Bronwen Buswell followed with a
single to plate the tying run and then Nate Kischer blasted a bomb over the
left fielder’s head for an emphatic 3-run home run to turn their 3-run deficit
into a 3-run lead. After the huge change in momentum, KPGM was unable to get a
rally together and Jillian Wilkins secured Marc O’Meara’s fly ball at second
base for the final out of the game.
Final Score: Blackout

pop-up to second base that was dropped and then thrown around the infield to
try to get runners out at home and second base, and with a couple overthrows
Reid scored for the unconventional 3-run home run. BDBK’s Drake Davidson led
off the 2nd with a double and then scored on Lorenzo Trotter’s line drive RBI
single to right field to make it 5-2. KIAB brought out the big guns in the 2nd
