[JP40]

Game One: Disciples @ Dirty Dozen
The Disciples would see only 4 innings, and score 1 run. Darren Hughes walked and later scored on a fielder’s choice. D12 would tally 21 runs with every team member scoring except one. Pete Abary hit a 3-run bomb, as did John Uccelletti. Arik Fenton and John AIken each drove in 3 runs. D12 cruises to a 21 - 1 win.

Game Two: Disciples @ American Legion
The Disciples would stay an inning longer in this one, getting to the 5th inning. They’d also tally 8 runs - highlighted by a Trevor Watts 3-run dinger. Brad Shuck scored once and drove in 2. Legion did Legion things, scoring 23 in 4 innings of at-bats. The law firm of Hines, Kennedy, and Wrigley each would hit long balls deep into the night. Legion smokes the Disciples, 23 - 8.

Game Three: American Legion @ The Yard
In a finals rematch, the Yard would get revenge. They’d hold down Legion’s high-octane offense for 6 innings, giving up only 6 through 6. In the 7th, Legion would post 5 - 3 of which on a Hines’s homer. The Yard started slowly but would surge in the 4th. Johnny Poore would homer, as would JB Jourdan. Randy Helsman’s 2-run double would help get the Yard over the top. A big win 12 - 11 for The Yard.

Game Four: Balls Deep @ Cobra Kai
The Kai would get a triple from Antonio Lillo and a walk from Austin Linde in the 3rd inning. The good news is both would score. The bad news is, these were the only runs the Kai would post. Balls Deep would score 18 - 10 of which in the first inning. Tim Frei led all scorers with 3 runs. Bob Stanley hit a solo homer, drove in 2, and scored twice. The Kai gets rolled, 18 - 2.

Game Five: Only Fans @ The Generals
Generally speaking, you won’t win many games if you go 7 innings and score 0 runs. Jesse Faller led all scorers with 2 runs - Anthony Izzi would blast a solo homer. Andrew Alexander would drive in 1 run, hit a triple, and score a run. Only Fans win convincingly, 8 - 0.
