Round 1: Cinco De Mayo Recap

Hybrids vs Empire

In an odd decision, Empire chose to go with BrianR. Hybrids took advantage early to the tune of 3 homeruns and 4 runs through 6. SniperX pitched 2 innings, gave up 1 run before a lagout. Gawd came in pitched 1 scoreless inning as Empire was unable to capitalize. Pesto came in, pitched 2 solid innings before the 6th.

In the 6th, Empire rallied to tie the game by scoring 5 runs. Toyboy walked off with a basehit in the bottom half.

Final Score: Hybrids 7 , Empire 6

Player of the Game: ToyBoy

Next Game: Hybrids vs Masters

Rotowire vs Masters

Boget struggles to find his zone as the Masters tore him apart. This is a key example of not playing enough in this patch. The Roto offense scored 15 runs, which would normally be enough to support the ACE, but not today.

Junior03 hit 3 Homeruns and drove 7 runs home off of Rotowire pitching, and Boget followed with the same numbers.

Final Score: Masters 15, Rotowire 14 in 9 innings

Next Game: Hybrids vs Masters

Player of the Game: Junior03

Bombers vs FlightNL

Goblin's return to tournament competition proved to be a solid one, as IPWN pitched 6 innings of 3 run ball. An exceptional performance easily the best pitching performance of the night. EduaNYC followed to the tune of 2 Homeruns and 4 RBIs.

Papi was responsible for Flight's offense as his three run homerun did all the damage that would be done. FlightNL needs to answer its critics in future tournaments.

Final Score: Bombers 6 , FlightNL 3

Next Game: Bombers vs RotowireNL

Player of the Game: IPWN

Ripit vs T.Tech

Baptiste's 3 homeruns and 4 rbis would have been all of the offense neccesary, as T.Tech annihilated Ripit. Manny tacked on a homerun and 5 rbis of his own. The duo combined for 11 runs batted in on the night.

WCKDPERK pitched 4 innings of 2 run ball before being replaced. His 6 strikeouts led all pitchers on the night. Ripit could not make any contact.

Final Score: T.Tech 15 , Ripit 4

Next Game: T.Tech vs Starfire AKA bye

Player of the Game: Baptiste

Carnage vs FlightAL

FlightAL and Carange experienced the most controversy on the night. The final score after 5 innings was 9-6 Carnage.

The game then consequently bugged in the bottom of 2nd inning in tourny server with Carnage leading 3-2, 0 outs.

Game crashed in PUG in the top of the 6th inning with Carnage up 9-6.

FlightAL didn't have enough players to continue and the game was called.

Thanks to Megatron for the PM. Tough blow for both Flight teams as they both fall early. As far as predictions are concerned...

Rotowire vs Masters - Wrong

Bombers vs FlightNL - Correct
