OK so we are a little behind with the game recaps but a crazy travel schedule and a weekend without any sleep at all and then trying to catch up with everything will do that to you. So here we go to bring you up to speed on what's been happening in the Breaker league.
Our first game of the night was between Barbara Ballters and Sit on My Base. By all accounts this game was just ugly. I asked both teams how the game went and they both said the same thing, sloppy. Its clear that the ladies were not impressed with either team. It was a high scoring affair but that was more due to bad defense than good offense. Barbara Ballters narrowly won in this slop fest, 7-6.
Our other early game of the night was the "marquee" matchup between Blast and Asstastic Balls. This was supposed to be a battle of the defeateds but Asstastic blew that up in week 3 by beating Sit on My Base. It was still Blast's best opportunity to win a game this season. Sure enough, in the first inning at 7:08pm, Blast was able to get their first runs of the season up on the board. Just 7 minutes later they lost the lead, only to retake the lead in the second inning. The Men (and Women) in Black were feeling pretty good about their chances but Asstastic had a stirring motivational speech on the sidelines, reminding the team that even though the Blast ladies are clearly awesome, they aren't a very good kickball team and proceeded to erase the memory of any lead that Blast had. Asstastic Balls won 3-2.
Field A saw a key game between 99 Problems and Guttersnipes* in the late slot. Guttersnipes were hoping to maintain their status as the only undefeated team in the league but they were definitely in for a battle. 99 got off to an early 1 run lead but the lead soon evaporated behind Guttersnipe* team captain, Seth. He was a 99 slayer going 3 for 3 with 3 runs kicked in. 99 had their backs against the wall in the last inning facing a 2 run deficit but were able to mount a rally to score one run and then loaded the bases with 1 out. Bryan had a well kicked line drive into right field that allowed the tying tun to score and the potential winning run rounding third. The resulting play could only be described as Matrix like. The Guttersnipes threw the ball at Ty who had just started a slide and the ball traveled just inches from his face as he scored the winning run of the game. 99 Problems won this one in stunning fashion 4-3.
Our final game of the night was between Cleats and Cleavage and the Seminoles. While Cleats and Cleavage got out to a great start on the season, they were trying to reclaim some momentum after losing their first game against the Guttersnipes* in week 3. It was a what could have been and what should have been game for the team in green. Post game the sideline was abound with talk about injuries (Gordon had a hurt foot, Jon had a bad oblique and Matty B had a strained hair follicle) and how the offseason labor disputes and lockout shortened season contributed to their injury woes. The play of the game was definitely the home run blast by Salty on the Seminoles. From field B he kicked the ball over the bleachers and into the woods with 1 bounce. The Seminoles were victorious 5-0.
