Game One: American Legion @ The Yard
American Legion sputtered out of the gate - going scoreless in the first and third innings. Meanwhile, the Yard posted 12, 8 of which came in the 2nd. Jon Poore, Mike Koelzer, and Dan Benner each homered. Legion would make it close as Dan Powell and Shawn Hines each would go yard, but in the end, it wasn’t enough. The Yard downs the champs, 15-12.

Game Two: Cobra Kai @ Dirty Dozen
After a 27-run game one, the Kai and D12 would up that mark, combining for 33 runs! The Kai’s Jesse Faller would score 4 runs, as would teammate Jake Haber. D12 saw Arik Fenton score 3 times, as well as all-star sub, Brian Wrigley. The Kai’s Rob Thompkinson homered, drove in 4, and scored 3 times, helping his team defeat D12, 20-13.

Game Three: Only Fans @ Balls Deep
This one would only go 6 innings. Only Fans would have a monster 4th inning, scoring 7 runs. Joe Noonan’s grandslam led the charge. Balls Deep scored 13 runs alone in the 5th and 6th innings combined, to down Only Fans, 17-8. Balls Deep saw Nick Pigott score 4 times, Jason Dickerson hit a 3-run bomb, and Trevor Harris go 5 for 5.

***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.”
