All in all, I would have to say this regular season was a success. I came into this 6-team men's league and I joined a team that went 1-9 last year. This year, we finished 6-4 and second place overall.
We dropped 3 of our first 4 games thanks to the not so helpful combination of impatient hitting and hideous defense. But we won 4 in a row until we dropped our last game. There were two final inning rally wins along the way as well. Along the way, our catcher and center fielder left and our captain told us he's moving away in October. Quit a ride.
So the playoffs start this week and it's double elimination. Now there are 10 teams. We're in the C league and the bottom 4 finishers from the B league got moved into our bracket. We're the 3 seed and the #1 is undefeated. I know those guys, but the key is they never beat themselves. Then again we've had some battles with some of the lesser teams. But if we play defense well, we'll be fine. First, we're playing a team that we split a pair of games with. The first game was a solid win two weeks ago, but their win was last Sunday. We shut them out 6-0 except for one inning where we allowed 14 runs. Everything self-destructed there for just that brief moment. So there's no reason we shouldn't beat them.
Here's the link for schedules and standings. I'm on Team Chamberlain.
Ripley, Heuer, Stenger, and Cerutti are the B league teams.
