Multiple Scorgasms and Booze on First started it out with a very close game. This game went into 2 extra innings but had to be capped due to time because we had to be off the field by 5pm. They did a one and done flip cup round with Multiple Scorgasm winning to advance.
Baller I Hardly Know Her and We've Got The Runs played the other first round game. By some amazing miracle, We've Got The Runs scored 5 whole runs. This was quite the feat considering that they had only scored 8 times all season. We've Got The Runs pulled off a huge upset and won 5-3.
All other teams got a bye in the first round and our first 2nd round game was played between Quit Yer Pitchin and Balls and Dolls. This was a tight game that could have been won by either team and had it not been for a couple of baserunning snafus by QYP this game could have gone the other way. As it was, Balls and Dolls won 3-2.
Asstastic Balls and 99 Problems But a Pitch Ain't One faced off in a week 2 rematch in the second round. For the most part this was a close game with Asstastic leading the charge the whole game. They scored some insurance late with a monstrous blast by Erik that went over everything and almost ended up in the soccer net. Asstastic Balls won 5-2.
The top seed Seminoles played their first game in the second round against Multiple Scorgasm. I wasn't personally witness to it but heard there was some drama in this one. Multiple Scorgasms asked for a roster check on the Seminoles claiming that some of the players weren't registered and that most of their regular players were in Tallahassee for the FSU game. There certainly were a lot of people missing but they have a big roster and all of the Seminoles players checked out though I'm told that it turns out that one of the Multiple Scorgasms players was not on their roster and was playing illegally. Seminoles won 5-2.We've Got The Runs and MasterBatters were our last 2nd round game. After having a scoring explosion in their first game, We've Got The Runs were back to their non scoring ways in this one. This game was all about defense. MasterBatters won 1-0.
Our third round games got kicking with Asstastic Balls (6 seed) vs Masterbatters (2 seed). Let me just say here that Asstastic Balls is an interesting team in that they are extremely inconsistent. They can be the worst team in the league or the best team in the league, depending on who shows up on any given day. Meanwhile Masterbatters also had an interesting season. They started out by losing their first 3 games in the season but never lost another game after that and earned the number 2 seed. Asstastic Balls won this one 3-0.
The other Semi-final game was between Seminoles (1 seed) and Balls and Dolls (4 seed). After the regular season the Seminoles were hoping to collect even more hardware for their expanding collection. Balls and Dolls was also hoping to add to their hardware collection after winning the trophy for being flip cup champion. This game may have turned out differently if some of the Seminoles players weren't in Tallahassee but Balls and Dolls played a great game. Balls and Dolls pulled off the upset 5-2.
This led way to a finals that would crown a first ever division champion. If you had asked me before the season started who the 2 teams in the finals would be, I probably never would have guessed this matchup but Asstastic Balls vs Balls and Dolls ended up being the closest championship game we have ever had. This was a defensive showdown all game. After 6 innings this game was still tied at 0 so we went in to Kansas City Rules. With just 4 guys and 4 girls and a runner starting on second, this usually leads to a lot of offense. Not so in this one. The first run of the game wasn't scored until the 8th inning when both teams were able to get one on the board. After the 8th inning both teams got together.
We were starting to run out of time as we were supposed to be off of the field by 5pm. Both teams were pretty tired and Balls and Dolls had a keg waiting for a post tournament party that they were dying to tap. It was decided that they would play one more inning and then after that the game would have to be decided some other way, with the accuracy kick. Both teams threatened in the 9th but neither was able to score. There was some debate as to whether the teams would rather settle the game with a round of flip cup but the captains ultimately decided to do the accuracy kick. Each team elected one kicker to represent their team. The ball was placed on home plate and they had to kick the ball as close to the second base cone as possible. Rob from Asstastic Balls did well with his kick and got the ball 7feet 4inches from the cone. Balls and Dolls had Gordon to represent him. He had shown up late for the tournament because he had spent the morning playing golf. The time spent reading greens all morning may have helped him. His kick started off looking like it was going way left but he read the field correctly and the ball started to curl back into the cone, clearly beating Rob's mark to clinch the title for his team. Balls and Dolls won, technically by the score of 2-1 after 9 innings.
