Week 5 Recap! (That's right. Week 5. What happened to Week 4? We'll see...)


Game 1- Animal Kingdom- 18
1/8 Mexican - 21
What a game! Someone finally put a bit of a scare into the Mexis! Animal Kingdom kept it close for most of the game and held the Mexis, relatively, in check. Nina, aka the aNinalator, was a cold blooded killer for the Animal Kingdom, getting on and around the bases at will. Zach and Gena, aka Jack and Zena, aka Wrecking Machine and Demolitionator (aka MVG, aka OMGena), were wrecking shop for the Mexis, keeping them in it, inspite of a rough offensive outing from their cap'n.

Coming into the 8th inning with the Mexis up 16-10, the Animals put up a huge 7 run inning to take the lead, but the Mexis answered with a 5 run inning of their own. The Animals couldn't answer in the 9th and the Mexis kept their win streak alive going into the tourney.

Game 2- The Walruses of Mass Disapproval- 24
Call Me I$hmael- 35

We knew this game was going to be a shoot out after the first inning. The WMD's came firing out the box, serving the Whalers a 10 pc. McNugget in the top of the inning. The Whalers fired right back in the bottom of the inning with a 10pc. of their own tying up the game.

From there, the Walruses offense slowed quite a bit, thanks to some defensive wizardry by Dean "the Machine", who basically shut the Walruses down by himself. Throw in a rough defensive 3rd and 4th inning for the WMDs, allowing the Whalers to put up 9 and 7 runs respectively, and the game was a wrap like Saran.

Ryan tried to pull the WMDs back into the game, blasting a couple of big home runs including a grand slam, but it wasn't enough in the long run and Call Me I$hmael picked up their first W of the season.

Check out the standings as we head into the tourney...
