🥎10.27.26 Game 2: Stewart Auto Pulls Away for a 23–16 Win!

Some games start with a bang, and others take a little time to get rolling! In Game 2, Somewhere Sports Bar, managed by Wally, and Stewart Auto, led by Ayers, both started slowly before the bats came alive. Stewart Auto eventually found its rhythm and secured a 23–16 victory.

Early Innings: A Slow Start

Neither team could get much going in the first two innings, with just a couple of scattered hits and no runs on the board.

That changed in the third when Somewhere Sports Bar's bottom of the lineup sparked a rally. King, Testa, Regan, Ramon, and Deloach delivered hits, bringing home four runs.

Stewart Auto answered with a rally of its own. Donna, Parry, Lopicollo, Jamie, and Rad singled before Jorge doubled, and five runs crossed the plate.

Middle Innings: The Long Ball Arrives!

Stewart Auto started building momentum in the fifth. Terry launched a home run, followed by singles from Shaffer, Fleming, and Ayers. Donna and Parry also reached base as three more runs scored.

Then Jamie added another home run, helping fuel a five-run inning as Stewart Auto continued to put pressure on the defense.

Somewhere Sports Bar finally answered in the sixth. Testa, Regan, and Ramon doubled, followed by singles from Deloach and Vandenberg and another double by Toro. The rally brought home five runs and got Wally's team back in the game!

Late Innings: Stewart Auto Keeps Rolling

Stewart Auto responded with five runs in the sixth, stringing together hits from Zelazny, Shaffer, Fleming, Donna, Parry, and Lopicollo.

The offense stayed hot in the eighth as Gilbert singled, Jamie doubled, and several teammates followed with base hits to bring home five more runs.

Somewhere Sports Bar needed a big final inning, but Stewart Auto added three more runs in the ninth behind hits from Ayers, Donna, Lopicollo, and Gilbert.

Final Score: Stewart Auto 23, Somewhere Sports Bar 16

After a quiet start, both teams found their offensive groove, but Stewart Auto's two home runs and consistent scoring proved too much to overcome.

Congratulations to Stewart Auto on the win, and hats off to Somewhere Sports Bar for battling back with a five-run sixth inning!

🥎10.27.26 Game 1: Tinsley Family Edges The Estates at Carpenter, 20–17!

It was a game of offensive fireworks, defensive stretches, and a late rally that made things interesting! The Tinsley Family, coached by Rounds, held off The Estates at Carpenter, coached by Tutrani, for a 20–17 victory.

Early Innings: Bats on Fire!

Both teams came out swinging. Tinsley Family opened with five runs in the first, and the Estates answered with two. The second inning brought more fireworks, as both teams plated five runs apiece.

Tinsley's offense was clicking, with Muniz, Sensabaugh, Rounds, Capozzi, and Doyle all collecting hits. The Estates countered with a string of extra-base hits, including doubles by Gutenberger, Cruz, Woodsby, and Sully.

Middle Innings: Defense Takes Over

Tinsley Family continued to add runs in the third and fourth innings, with Gil scoring in the third and Rabideau's triple helping bring home two runs in the fourth. The fifth inning was quiet, and the Estates' bats went cold, leaving them scoreless through the middle stretch.

Tinsley added three more runs in the sixth behind Williamson's double, Rusty's triple, and a string of singles. Both teams were held scoreless in the seventh.

Eighth Inning: The Estates Rally!

Tinsley wasn't finished, adding five runs on a barrage of hits, including doubles by Rusty, Rabideau, Doyle, and Stevens.

But the Estates had an answer! After four scoreless innings, the home team erupted for seven runs, stringing together singles from Ernesto, Turchetta, Lopez, and Gutenberger, capped by a double from Woodsby. Suddenly, the gap had narrowed, and the pressure was on!

Ninth Inning: Tinsley Seals the Win

Tinsley Family added three insurance runs as Rounds, Capozzi, Williamson, Rusty, and Rabideau delivered consecutive hits. The Estates managed a single from Tutrani and a walk by Ernesto but couldn't mount another rally.

Final Score: Tinsley Family 20, The Estates at Carpenter 17

Tinsley Family's steady offense proved just enough to withstand a determined late push by the Estates. That seven-run eighth inning made things interesting, but Tinsley held on to take the win!

Congratulations to Tinsley Family, and kudos to the Estates for never giving up!
