RotowireNL vs T.Tech
Rotowire started off somewhat undermanned with Klemens and HaZeD not seeing the field until the 5th inning in their game against T.Tech. Even so, Roto jumped on Tech early and often scoring 6 runs before the 5th inning. New acquisition Blindman struck first with an RBI single off of WCKDPRK, and pitcher nubXPRESS followed suit with a key grandslam to help his own cost. Manager Day would also homer tacking on Roto's 6th run of the ball game. It was 6-5 heading into the T.Tech bottom of the 4th.
But bad defense and poor fundamentals cost RotowireNL the game. By allowing hits that should not have been allowed, the RotowireNL infield opened the door for back to back homeruns by Baptiste and Gatyopin2. Gatyopin's homer hurt the most, as his was a 3-run shot that put the game out of hand. To this point, nubXPRESS had pitched a great game, becoming one of the few pitchers to hold Tech to 1 run an inning. Even so, nubXPRESS was taken out of the game in favor of Chung. Chung would more or less hold Tech, but the RotowireNL offense fell dormant and failed to score anymore runs.
Final Score: T.Tech 10, RWNL 6
Player of the Game: Baptiste
Next Game: vs FlightAL
FlightAL vs Hybrids
FlightAL put on an offensive show early off of SniperX. ZachAtack started the scoring with a solor homerun in the second, and with 2 outs RBush added a three run shot of his own. Hybrids found themselves down 4 rather early. The usually reliable Hybrids pitching and defense seemed out of this game from the get go. And the barrage of homeruns would not end, as Puddles and Zach would both homer to give FlightAL 7 runs on the night.
Usually, Hybrids match their opponent run for run but Toyboy and company could not figure out DrDeath. GAWD homered off of Death in the latter stages of the game for the Hybrids only run. New manager Hybrids was nice enough to give me a quick interview on his first managerial loss after the game.
Melky: First managing job for you, how did it feel?
Haverford: A little pressure.
Melky: How so?
Haverford: ToyBoy is pretty big shoes to fill.
Melky: What is the biggest difference between you managing and Toyboy managing?
Haverford: The knowledge of the game. He was still learning the game a little bit.
Melky: If I gave you one chance to replay that game, what would you have done differently?
Haverford: Practice underhand B beforehand. Our D was great and our pitching was very good.
Melky: Do you have any other comments?
Haverford: We will be back...bank on it.
Final Score: FlightAL 7, Hybrids 1
Player of the Game: ZachAtack
Next Game: vs Tech
FlightNL vs Bombers
If you walked into the Practice Clubhouse an our before the game, you would have seen d1nonly2 dinking underarm against his teammate ElDuque all of the place. Gradually, he gained his swing and felt confident heading into the game. The last time against the Bombers, FlightNL lost 6-3, unable to figure out IPWN. Today, they failed to even make the game competitive.
Kman went 5 and 1/3 giving up 4 earned runs, thankfully iPwn was available to close out the game for Bombers. Corv was the only FlightNL player to find any success off of KMAN hitting 2 homeruns in the game. D1nonly2 gave Bombers all the offense they needed, going 6-8 with 4 homeruns and 9 rbis. The Bombers left fielder Jiraiya, also went yard to add insult to injury. Frogger, KMAN, and EduaNYC all hit around .500-.600 finding the bases with ease. The end result: a 15-4 rout of FlightNL. As iPwn shut the door in a non-save situation, the RBO community remained in awe of the scoreboard. This might be the kind of loss that either demoralizes flight, or pushes them to activity. Time will tell.
Final Score: Bombers 15, FlightNL 4
Player of the Game: d1nonly2
Next Game: vs Rage
Starfire vs Rage
The 3-man Starfire team once again avoided a forfeit, challenging Rage to the last inning. Rage, an All Star team going Elite for the first time, made an easy game quite difficult. The rage offense used the lack of defense to their advantage, constantly getting on board for her0 as he would homer 3 times in the ball game. Nataliamo, Might, and and the24kid all had homeruns in the ballgame. The third inning was big for rage, as they batted around and saw 2 homers off the bat of her0. With a full defense, starfire might of had a shot. 12 runs for Rage.
Starfire did not play dead though, as GATECH had 2 homeruns and Vlad added one of his own. Even maico left the yard with a homerun to cut the gap in half. It was 12-7 going into the final hacks for the pesky Starfire club but they would pull 2 runs short. Rage will be tested in their first true elite league match tonight.
Final Score: Rage 12, Starfire 10
Player of the Game: Her0
Next Game: vs Bombers
Rejected vs Empire
The first 3 innings of the Rejected v. Empire game saw 2 underarm pitchers, BRM and ElDuque, duke it out. ElDuque held Rejected to 1 hit and no runs over the first 3 innings while BRM shut the Empire ballclub down through 3 as well. After rumors of BRM duplicating ElDuque's pitches after the second inning, Melky subbed in, as he just like d1 practiced underarm B from ElDuque previously.
What would follow? An eventful 4th inning. Roguee led off with a single, and Pete998 would get aboard with a single as well. KidNasty who had disappeared off the face of the tournament/league earth came back strong with a 3 run homerun to put Empire on top. The recently subbed in MelkyNYY went back to back giving Empire a surging 4-0 lead. ElDuque would proceed to pitch a 4 hit shutout in a game that would also see a homerun by Roguee, a double by Pete, a walk to Melky, and a 2 RBI single by ElDuque. Rejected could not put anything together as Pili and BRM struggled to keep the game close.
Final Score: Empire 9, ReJected 0
Player of the Game: ElDuque
