Game #3 – Wackers vs. Poco’s

Wackers will get the dub here as Poco’s can’t field a team tonight.




Game #4 – Maize vs. Wehrung’s

The last game of the night is our spotlight game of the night and it did not disappoint. Maize will jump out to a quick four runs on an Austin Grasso RBI triple, Matt Bugenhagen RBI double and an error. Wehrung’s will cut that in half on solo bomb from Luke Hendrick’s and an error. Both teams would score two in the second inning keeping this game a two run game. Maize grab four in the third on a two run triple from Aaron Worthington, then gets two more on a Wil Marsden double and Wil Das single respectively. But again, back come Wehrung’s. Doug Moninghoff and Luke Hendricks both smashed homers in the inning. Maize will explode for seven runs in the fifth, paced by RBI singles from Bugenhagen, Worthington, Troy Kaluder and Das. Grasso also added a run on a double as Maize hold a three-run lead. That lead is eliminated by an Emily Grimm RBI single and then another Hendricks bomb, this time a three-run bomb. We are all square heading to the sixth. This is where Wehrung’s would get back on top, getting a run on an error then Moninghoff RBI double. Wehrung’s would hold it done defensively and steal this game late as they move on to the championship. Wehrung’s win 19-17.
