The HAMMERS dropped 2 back starting with a WarDROP double followed by a single from Dan Lange who scored on a Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson) single making it a 3-2 game after 2 innings.

HG Coal Fire (A) vs MaGerks (H)

HG's BATS were on FIRE all game and they started early, little power but singles can kill a team. HG scored 5 runs in the first just off of singles as they batted around. Staying in the game Coach Hilbert BAZOOKA'd a Triple to score 2 and he scored on a Jeff Tongue single. In the 2nd inning Andrew's brother Justin Knapp knocked in the Jay Stein and then scored on a scored on a Andrew Parker double.

It was an 8-7 Coal Fire lead going into the pivotal 4th inning where HG caught FIRE batting around and scoring 7, Andrew Parker PARKED it for a 2 run homer and Neil Herbert knocked in 2 more with a Triple. Eric Cohen ended the scoring with a 2 out Triple scoring 2 more. MaGerks used patience at the plate to inch back scoring 4 off of a walk and 3 singles.
