Semi Final Friday

The campers were greeted with a wonderful weather morning - maybe a tad chilly for those southern folks but at game time it was full blue sky sunny and about 60 degrees and it would warm up as the games progress.

Game 7 was faced with the task of taking on the Irrevelants -- we thought this was going to be a pitchers' duel and a low scoring affair with Stoll and Popp facing off -- Stoll made it a 1-2-3 top of the first inning and Game 7 started hitting first pitch fastballs off Popp -- after I had my RBI Double -- we were up 3-0 and I came around to score to make it 4-0. They made 2 errors along the way so Popp didn't pitch nearly bad as the 4 spot -- but the pitchers came to pitch as the next 2 innings were scoreless -- we head into the bottom of the 4th - I had a leadoff walk and eventually came around to score to make it 5-0. Top of the 5th Irrevelants put together an inning with a couple timely hits and a couple miscues in the field and they get 2 runss - they did strand two runners as Stoll struck out a batter to make it 2 outs and then ended the inning with minimal damage at 5-2. We move to the bot of the 6th and Game 7 again puts together a few good AB's - i hit a sharp grounder to 3rd that found its way into the outfield for another RBI and the inning is good for 3 more runs. Top of 7 - Stoll works quickly getting out #1 - 2 guys find there way on base (errors) and Stoll closes the door down getting the last out via strikeout -- Game 7 heads to the championship game tomorrow at 12:15.

We will face the undefeated Redemption Tour team which won their matchup vs Roasted and Toasted 8-2. The top 2 seed head to the Blue Division Championship.

In the Red Division the top 2 seeds were victorious as well - Northstar Ninjas outlasted the pesky Villians and won 12-11 via walkoff (I think that was the score - I had two different sources) - regardless they won by 1.  They will play LCL (Larkin Cuyler Laudner) as they took care of the Brunansky/Hrbek led 6905ers (the team name was the house number Bruno and Hrbie rented as young Twins) via a 6-2 score.

The Red Division Championship game will be played at 9:45am at Hammond Stadium on Saturday and the games will be livestreamed via Walsh Media -- https://www.meridix.com/channel/?liveid=walshmedia

9:45am - LCL vs Northstar Ninjas
12:15pm - Game 7 vs Redemption Tour

You can go back and watch the game as well - so check it out!

We should be an OK shape for our pitcher on the mound, but our defense and hitting could be in question as we have many players who are limping around - so hopefully the training staff can put them together by game time so we can play as good as we are capable of playing!

I am not going to mention about any streaks or saturday records either.   Shhhhhh IYKYK.

Kangaroo Court this evening. Another fun week in the books and a bonus game on Saturday.
