Congratulations Seminoles

Congratulations to the Seminoles, who were both regular season and playoff champions. The game of the playoffs was clearly their semifinal game against Quit Yer Pitchin. Quit Yer Pitchin took a 1 run lead in the first inning and the Seminoles weren't able to answer until the top of the 4th when they tied it up. After 5 the score was tied and WAKA tournament guidelines have extra innings being played Kansas City Style.

Kansas City style means that on defense you only play with 4 guys and 4 girls in the field and on offense you start the inning with a runner on second base. Not just any runner but the last kicker from your previous inning.

Neither team was able to score in the first inning of Kansas City Rules. In the 8th inning the Seminoles lead off by scoring 3 runs and thought they were ready to roll but Quit Yer Pitchin returned the favor and scored 3 in the bottom of the 7th to tie it up again. In the top of the 8th the Seminoles were able to post another 3 spot. Quit Yer Pitchin was unable to counter and the Seminoles moved on to the championship game.

The championship game itself may have been somewhat anti-climactic after the semifinals but it was another very tightly contested game. The lone run of the game was scored in the bottom of the 2nd inning and the Seminoles defeated Don't Touch Our Balls 1-0.
