[JP40]

Game One: Only Fans @ Dirty Dozen
Both teams opened this game ice cold. No runs were scored through 2 innings. Only Fans opened it up in the 3rd with a Mike Kelly homerun. They’d add 6 more in the 5th inning behind a series of singles by Anthony Izzi, Shawn McCaul, Bryce Hoagey, and Mike Kelly. D12 broke the seal in the 3rd with a Pete Abary 3-run homer. Arik Fenton followed with a 2-run bomb - helping D12 take down Only Fans, 11-9.

Game Two: American Legion @ Only Fans
Only Fans would again score 9 runs for the 2nd half of their doubleheader. Jaden Newman hit 2 homers, and Mike Kelly would go yard again. The bad news is The Legion posted 27. Homers by Josh Kennedy, Shawn Hines, and Brian Wrigley led the way to this blowout.

Game Three: American Legion @ Balls Deep
Legion’s hot night continued and Balls Deep paid the price. This one ended 24-12. Balls Deep got a grand slam from Tim Gluck and 2 long balls from Tim Frei. Hines, Wrigley, and Engleman each posted dingers for Legion. Hines, Wrigley, and Powell all went 4 for 4 - leading the way for the defending champs.

Game Four: The Yard 2 Cobra Kai
The Yard got 4 runs from Mo Rodriguez, 3 from Jon Poore, and triples from Dan Benner, Matt Bookheimer, and Rodriguez - contributing to 16 total runs. The Kai got Jesse Faller across the plate 3 times, Tyler Gower tripled and scored twice, but it wasn’t enough. The kai falls 16-14.

***Shout out to scorekeeper, Fern. In the words of S. Carter, “A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.”
