Post by ntodd71 »

Sunday Men’s became Weekend Men’s for one night only, as the B East crammed 7 games in an action-packed Saturday and Sunday.

SATURDAY GAMES



Philly’s Phinest vs. Dave and Confused

Phinest starts off their Saturday hot, scoring 3 runs in the 1st inning off five singles, before going down 1-2-3 in the 2nd. Dave and Confused, not adjusted to the day change, go scoreless in the first 2 innings. Phinest bats around and plated 7 in the top of the 3rd to open this game up 10-0. Five singles, two walks, an error, and a Mike Rocks ‘JUNIOR’ double spearheaded the offense. DC manages to cut the deficit in half, scoring 5 runs of their own in the bottom of the 3rd, by way of three singles and three doubles. Phinest offense goes quiet in the 4th and 5th, while DC scores another 7 to take a 12-10 lead. 9 singles, a walk, and two errors helped DC claw their way back. Phinest ties it up in the top of the 6th, notching this up at 12 apiece. DC scores 3 more in the bottom of the inning off of four singles and a walk, and this game gets called for time. Dave and Confused erase a 10-0 start to win this one 15-12.

Player of the Game: ‘Mean’ Mark McKinney, Dave and Confused. ‘Mean’ Mark went 4-5 with three singles and a double. He also had 4 RBIs and scored 4 Rs.



Dirt Stars vs. Palz Tap House

Dirt Stars put up 2 runs in the top of the 1st on an undermanned Palz squad. A single, and RBI double by Joe Carpino did the damage. Palz puts up 1 in the bottom off of an Alex Freeman double and single by Chris Crookham. Dirt Stars take advantage of the space in the outfield, bat around, and score 7 in the top of the 2nd. Five singles, a walk, an error, and a three RBI triple by Liam Getty pace the offense. Palz knock in 1 on a sac fly in the bottom of the 2nd. Dirt Stars go scoreless in the 3rd and 4th innings, while Palz scores 4 to cut the lead down to 3, highlighted by an Alex Freeman triple. Dirt Stars put up 3 more runs each in the 5th and 6th, while keeping Palz off the board in the bottom of the 5th. Back-to-back triples by Gary Brooks and Dell Canan in the 6th were the highlights for Dirt Stars. Down 15-6, Palz goes on an absolute tear, dropping a 12 spot. Eight singles, two doubles, a triple and an error, propelled Palz to an 18-15 lead. Shoutouts to Jordan Cohen, Nick Hildebrand, Pete Herbert, and Justin Guitierrez, who all went 2-2 in the inning. Unfortunately, Dirt Stars couldn’t muster a run to take the lead, and Palz wins a wild one, 18-15 final.

Player of the Game: Palz’ 6th inning showing. I couldn’t find anyone who stood out on Palz’ so I’ll award the whole squad for their comeback effort. The 6th inning squad went 11-15 with a walk, an error, eight singles, two doubles, and a triple.

Quiet first inning for both teams, as neither can produce a run. Dugout Demons blank the top of the 2nd, and Swingers finally open up the scoring by plating 4 in the bottom.
