We've Got the Runs and Booze on First started us out on field 1 at 7pm. This one was actually a pretty tight defensive battle. You didn't think that when I said that We've Got the Runs scored that I meant a lot did you? That would be crazy talk. They were able to take a lead into the bottom of the 6th inning. They were poised for their first win of the season but Rob, aka Bubba, had other plans and kicked a home run to tie the game. In the 7th Booze on first had bases loaded with 2 outs but their last kicker inexplicably bunted a half inch bunt that was quickly picked up by the catcher and stepped on home plate to record the last out of the game. This one ends in a 1-1 tie.Field 2 had 99 Problems and Masterbatters. 99 Problems were definitely looking for a rebound off of last week's miserable 1st inning defensive display from week one while Masterbatters were quite excited to show off their new matching headbands. In case you haven't noticed yet, I have a hell of a set of lungs on me so you always pretty much know what's going on in 99 Problem's games. The play of this one was Bryan's impressive (and completely unnecessary) dive into home plate. 99 Problems takes this one easily, 5-1.
There was a bit of controversy on field 3 in the game between Quit Yer Pitchin aka Swampballs and Baller I Hardly Know Her. A defensive gem, this game was not. Both teams had 3 run homes runs and a ton of errors. In the 5th inning the score was 11-9 in favor of Quit Yer Pitchin but the game was called off early because they had reached the hour time limit on the game (remember that 6 innings or 1 hour rule?). So the refs left to play in their games but both teams decided to keep playing just for fun. Just for fun ended up being quite heated as Baller scored 2 in that extra innings to unofficially tie the game. There was quite a bit of heated discussion that could have erupted into an all out ground war but a little levity was injected into the scene by Quit Yer Pitchin's Bill who said, "Come on guys, lets not be Seminoles. Lets settle this peacefully." and a potential crisis was averted. Quit Yer Pitchin won 11-9*.Our late games were led off by a heated show down between Multiple Scorgasms and Balls N Dolls. Balls N Dolls had been one of 3 undefeated teams coming into the night. Unfortunately for them, they were not able to hold onto that title. They took a beating from the apparently Scientologist laden Multiple Scorgasms who were quoted as saying, "Tom Cruise would be proud of this one... he's the messiah" and then proceeded to sexually harass each other after the game. Balls N Dolls took the loss pretty hard. I could hear a player say, "what's our chant again?" before their team chant, which them messed up. Asked what happened in their first loss of the season, Team Captain, Jessica stated, "We blame the short Asian kid. He won't be playing next week so we will be back on top." Multiple Scorgasms win 6-2.
Last but certainly not least was our battle of the undefeated teams, Seminoles vs Asstastic Balls. The Seminoles are accustomed to being at the top of the table, while Asstastic Balls were in virgin territory (not something you often say about Asstastic Balls). The first inning was probably the most exciting, with the Seminoles taking a quick 2 run lead in the top of the inning, only to have Asstastic Balls do them one better by putting a 3 spot up on the board in the bottom half. Unfortunately they couldn't duplicate their 1st inning scoring output at any other point in the game and in the end succumbed to the serious Seminoles. Seminoles won 6-3.
