Playoffs B West 8/9/20

Post by Geno8121 »

Playoff Softball is upon us!

In probably the most evenly matched division in SBA, the 1 seed HG went undefeated but truly has been in some wars with most of the teams in the playoffs. Palz started slow for the season but has come on strong late. MaGerks can hit with anyone and the Jackhammers and Hattricks both have BIG INNING potential. Should be exciting... Lets get started.

Jackhammers (5) at. Hattricks (4)

Jackhammers start early with BACK TO BACK TO BACK Doubles by Wardrop, Lydon and Wadsworth scoring 4 runs in the top of the 1st. They add a 5th run on an error in the 2nd. Hattricks get back in the game down 5-0 with a big Jordan Glasure double scoring 2 runs and later he scored to cut the lead to 5-3. Vince Morgan with a big 2 out single to score 2 runs for the Hammers but Hattricks would once again respond as Doug Spier gets a 2 run single in the bottom of the 3rd and ANOTHER ONE for Jordan Glasure as he doubles in DOUG. 7-6 Jackhammers after 3. Big Bill Moore blasts a Triple to score a few and he later scored as well as 2 more off a throwing error by the Hattricks SS. Hattricks down 5 needed a spark and Ron Gallagher blasted a solo bomb, followed by a John Scott double who later came around and score. After a QUIET 5th, the Hammers added a few more off the bat of Tom Lydon. Hattricks doesn't quit though they add 3 more of their own in the bottom of the inning as Josh Graef smashes a double and later scores. 14-11 going to the 7th. The Hammers go 1,2,3 setting the stage for Hattricks to make an attempt at a comeback. 3 singles loaded the bases for the top of the order with only 1 out but both John Scott and Collin Murray tried to do too much as both player flew out to end the game.

Jackhammers 14 - Hattricks 12
Game MVP(s) Tom Lydon 3-3 with a walk and 3 RBI's

We enter the SEMI-FINALS

MaGerks (3) at Palz Tap House (2)

A Quick 1st inning for MaGerks 1,2,3. Palz jumped on MaGerks early as a leadoff double by Jordan Cohen followed by a single and then a 2 run BLAST by Alex FLASH Freeman but they weren't done. A Single, BB and a big 2 out double by Brian Furness led to a 5 run 1st for Palz. The next 3 innings you'd see silence from both teams. MaGerks finally gets on the board in the 5th as their MVP Steve "The Rock" Johnson blasts a Triple but he was the only run of the inning. The bottom of the 5th had Palz take an even bigger lead with 4 more runs coming from singles and a 2 out error. 9-1 Palz after 5. The 6th inning was quiet for both. MaGerks down to their last chance scores 4, 2 out runs but that just wasn't enough in this one.

Palz 9 - MaGerks 5
Game MVP(s) Jordan Cohen 3-3 with a double.

So who would meet Palz in the finals? An upstart Jackhammers squad or the undefeated 1 seed HG Coal Fire?
Jackhammers (5) at HG Coal Fired Pizza (1)


HG had the 1 seed yips in the 1st inning having errors lead to a 1st inning run, they also went 1,2,3 in the bottom half of the inning. They got it together in the 2nd as they shut down the hammers and their bats woke up. HG all year long has had the deepest lineup in the division and today was no different. Ken Stein, Mike Marcelline and Tyler Cohen hit back to back to back doubles and Jay Stein crushed a 3 run home run to give HG a 6-1 lead. Jackhammers squeezed one across in the 3rd and HG went back to work this time Andrew Parker launched a ball but he stopped at 3rd to tie his shoes or he wanted to give an RBI to Mike Messina but HG scored another 5 runs in the 3rd taking a commanding 11-2 lead. Touchdown Tommy Lydon said we wont stand for this as he ledoff the next inning and Bill Morgan blasted a 2 run double but Jackhammers got a little greedy getting a runner gassed at the plate. 11-4 HG. HG did not let off the gas in this one as Knapp and Brenden Parker go back to back with doubles and 2 costly errors led to another 5 run inning for HG 16-4 after 4 innings. Jackhammers were DONE, backs against the wall but THEN... They exploded for 7 runs in the top of the 5th almost all off of singles, I said it before and I will say it again, Singles will kill a team... Mike Wadsworth just casually blasted a triple in the inning for the big blow of the inning. 16-11. Jay Stein would get HG one more run in the 5th as he doubles and was double'd in by Eric Cohen. Unfortunately the Jackhammers ran out of time on their comeback as they went flat in the 6th inning.

HG 17 - Jackhammers 11
Game MVP(s) The STEIN's Jay and Ken , Ken sporting a perfect day and Jay providing the big hits with a double and home run!

HG vs Palz in the finals the early betting lines have HG a -165 favorite but Palz has been playing their best ball of the season recently. It should be a fun one... My Prediction? It goes 3 games.. I will leave it there.
