Games
For a while it was looking like Tuesday was going to be upset night. The Gruesome Devils were playing great defense again holding the Draft Kings to only 11 runs. The Beer Bros. got out to a quick 4-1 lead over Dodge. The Hurtin' Units had a 17-12 lead over the Sons Of Pitches with two out in the bottom of the 7th. The Sliders were in a 5-3 games with the Rusty Rebels through 3 innings. The Hot Tub Woody's were getting clobbered 14-2 by the Dusty Cleats after 2 innings and the Blues Brothers would score 26 runs against the Grisslies.
How did it all end?
Gruesome Devils Vs. Draft Kings
The Devils, riding high after their opening night win against the Dog Catchers scored 2 to open the game while the Draft Kings countered with one of their own. The Gruesome Devils would get 3 more in the 2nd inning and have a 5-3 lead through two. But the Devils would only send 4 men to the plate in the 3rd and 3 in the fourth counting not runs. In the 5th they got two quick outs and then 3 singles to load the bases before the inning ended, again with no runs. The 6th was for batters and no runs. Meanwhile the Draft Kings would score 3 in the 3rd and 4 in the 4th to take a 10 - 5 lead through six. The Devils made it interesting scoring 4 in the 7th but they'd ultimately fall 11-9.
Beer Bros. Vs. Dodge City Rounders
The quick 4-1 start for the Beer Bros. after the 1st inning was pretty much the highlight in this one. Dodge, who had all 12 guys sent 10 of them to the plate and scored 7 in the the 2nd. From there on it was gravy. The Beer Bros. would only score in the 1st (4 runs) and 4th innings (3 runs) and count 7 runs on the night. Dodge scored 18 with Adrian Barry's 4 for 4 night with 4 runs leading the way.
Hurtin' Units Vs. Sons Of Pitches
I've seen comeback. But not like this. The Units led 5-2 after 1. Were tied at 7's after 2. Led 11-9 after 3; 12-9 after 4; 12-11 after 5; and 14-12 after 6. In the Hurtin' Units 7th inning they would score three for the largest lead of night going ahead 17-12.
Queue the bottom the 7th and death star music. The inning begins with a hit that immediately erased on a double play. 2 out. Nobody on. Down 5. Single, single, single, single, home run by Chris Parsons (The Whale). Tie game at 17's.
That should be enough right? Nope. Single, single, single, single, single, double, double, single. Sons of Pitches not only win but get their +7 and all with two out. Best comeback I've seen.
Sliders Vs. Rusty Rebels
The Sliders counted nothing in their first two innings but only trialed 5-3 after 3 complete. However, the wheels would fall off with Peter Hollmann inflicting the bulk of the damage for the Rusty Rebels going 4/4 and scoring 4 runs. The Rebels would score 7 in the 4th inning, 2 more in the 5th and 4 more in the 6th. They wouldn't need to hit in the 7th as they already secured their +7 winning this one 18-10
Dusty Cleats Vs. Hot Tub Woody's
Another underdog that looked good early. The Cleats led 7-1 after one and 14-2 after 2. That's pretty safe in many people's books, but there's still 7 innings of ball left to play. The Hot Tub Woody's took advantage. The Woody's would score in every inning, 5 in the 3rd, 1 in the 4th and 5th and then 7 in the 6th. The Hot Tub Woody's would narrow the gap to 20-16 after 6 complete. In the Dusty Cleats half of the 7th they would get 3 runs. One of those runs was scored by Matt Foerster who had a typical playoff game going 5/5 and scoring 5. No surprise. 23-16, bottom of 7. The Woody's would score 3 runs and get the tying run on deck before running out of steam and dropping this one 23-19.
Blues Brothers Vs. Grisslies
The Grisslies had their worst defensive game of the year allowing 26 runs. Bob McCullough for the Blues Brothers was 7 for 7 and scored 4 runs. Neil Pendlebury was 6/6 and scored 5. However the Grisslies opened the game scoring 6 runs, then got 7 in the 2nd and 7 more in the 3rd. Despite the Grisslies worst offensive inning of the night being a 2 run 6th, this game was never safe and we're fortunate to have escaped with a 33-26 win. Lots of impressive nights for the Grisslies with the bats. Micah William's and Geoff Keogh's home runs were big. Craig Escott hitting the wall 3 times and going 5/5 while scoring 3 was big. Darren Ford and Geoff Keogh going 5/5 while scoring 4 each was big. Dan Routledge and Cam Clark going 5/6 and scoring 5 was big. But Dan Chiasson's 5/5 with 5 runs was a fantastic line!
