The semifinal game between FlightAL and Rage proved to be much more than the laugher I predicted (or Newbert for that matter). The game was a competitive game from the first inning all the way to the sixth inning in which one team came up big. Empire sat their intently watching as they awaited their opponent in the Finals.
Lo' and Behold
Are we seeing a rise of more elite teams, or is Rage just having one of those tournaments. Expected to be blown out for the second straight game, Rage found themselves entwined in a prototypical pitcher's duel. Dr. Death did not disappoint, masterfully picking apart what has now become a solid Elite hitting team. Nataliamo has been having one hell of a tournament, and Rage proved that their timely hitting in their last game was not a fluke.
The Offense
Nataliamo is 16-20 with 5 homeruns and 8 RBIs in this tournament. His continued pressure on the Flight defense and his ability to drive home runs put FlightAL on notice. Only behind Nataliamo in batting average, Her0 has been having a solid tournament. Not showing any power since his first game, me managed a pair of hits off of Dr.Death and is only second to Nataliamo in runs scored.
SEC and Puddles carried the FlightAL offense today both homering in the game. ZachAtack failed to homer for the first time this tournament. FlightAL managed to score about a run an inning throughout the game, and found themselves trailing by 1 heading into the final frame.
The Upset?
Not on FlightAL's watch. Puddles drilled a 2 out walkoff homerun that broke the heart of every Rage player in the lobby and in the game. A gallant effort by Rage but FlightAL moves on to face Empire later tonight.
Final Score: FlightAL 8, Rage 7
Player of the Game: Puddles
Next Game: Finals v Empire
