Breaker Week 3 Recap

What a week it was in the FL Breaker League. Lots of action, lots of excitement, and a few surprises.

Our first game of the week was between 99 Problems and the Seminoles. Make no doubt about it, this is a rivalry game. Mostly because in the last few seasons this game is pretty much a coin flip and the game is always tight. This one was no different. 99 Problems took the early 2-0 lead but the Seminoles were able to counter with a monstrous 2 run home run in the 4th. The Seminoles were able to barely squeak out another one in the 6th for the win. Now if you saw the end of the game, you might be slightly confused. This was a week 3 matchup between 2 teams that had 1 win and 1 loss each. The celebration that ensued was slightly more than what you would expect. Seminoles won 3-2.

Here is actual video of the Seminole's celebrating their week 3 victory:

Also at 7pm was the premier matchup of the night between our only 2 still undefeated teams, Guttersnipes* and Cleats and Cleavage. Ok so the matchup was premier but the game may not have been. According to Gordon of Cleats and Cleavage player, "I couldn't carry the team single handedly for the whole season". The play of the game had to be an aggressive defensive play by Gordon who had charged in on a bunt, picked it up and threw a perfect strike to first base. It would have been a clear out, except that the right fielder, rather than backup the first baseman, decided to intercept the throw just inches from the hands of the bewildered first baseman. Guttersnipes* won 5-0.

At 8pm Asstastic Balls took on Sit on My Base. Asstastic and Blast had struggled doing anything in the first couple of weeks and we were all wondering which team would be able to score first. Beast took over as acting captain and was seen still trying to figure out what the lineup would be halfway through the first inning. Whatever he did, the debate of who could score first was answered at 8:25pm when Dmitri kicked a sac fly to the outfield that scored Beast. That wasn't all though as the pink team was able to put 3 more on the board. Their defense held strong too, led my Mary Hall who pretty much closed down the Sit on My Base offense in the final inning by herself. Asstastic stunned the league with a victory 4-2.

Our last game of the night was between Blast and Barbara Ballters.This game was, shall we say, less than premier as the Ballters manhandled the team in black. Blast did threaten to score in the 5th inning with a runner on 3rd but failed to drive the run home. When the third out of the inning was made you could hear a collective sigh of disappointment from everyone witnessing the game, including Ballters. On the plus side for the black team, their ladies are awesome (I may or may not have been instructed to say that). Barbara Ballters won this one 8-0.
