RECAP:

Don Baylor hit two home runs and drove in four as The Frank Tanana All-Stars clinched a Doverbi Division playoff berth with an 18-8, seven-inning victory over The Hip Young Popes on Monday night at Tengen Stadium.

The Frank Tanana All-Stars (8-3) jumped out to a 4-0 lead, only to see The Hip Young Popes (3-7) continue to rally, eventually tying the score at 8-8 in the top of the sixth. However, The Frank Tanana All-Stars would respond with two runs in the sixth and eight runs in the seventh to end the game, capped by Rich Gedman's walk-off home run.

Tony Armas homered for The Hip Young Popes, while Tim Teufel doubled twice and drove in two.

Whoohooo.  Alone in first place at 8-3.  I love computer controlled Gedman.

The Nimrods @ The Unholy Legions of Doom game is complete. Game video is attached, box score and recap to follow.

(Note: There were a bunch of odd running and fielding things. Especially Chet Lemon's triple in the third inning, where the RF overran a routine pop fly and had it go over his head, like he lost it in the lights. Bizarre.)

I've seen some really weird watch play hits recently, ones I'd never seen before (batter rounded first before a ball finally went foul on one)

And we had Sheridan's HR down the RF line that was called foul. Plus about 2 or 3 guys getting thrown out trying to take extra bases.

RECAP:

Gary Gaetti homered twice and drive in five as part of a 5-for-6 day as The Nimrods defeated The Unholy Legions of Doom 14-12 in an interleague Fantasy RBI game played Tuesday night at Tengen Stadium.

The victory was the second in the week for The Nimrods (5-7) and moved them ahead of THE Parish State University and out of the cellar in the Gantry Division. The result also pushes The Unholy Legions of Doom (4-7) to the brink of playoff elimination.

Dave Henderson hit two home runs in the losing effort, as the Unholy Legions of Doom were unable to outscore The Nimords despite getting two more hits and turning three double plays. They had a chance to complete a rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, with a single and double to start the inning. But Roger McDowell was able to work his way out of the jam with only one run surrendered, inducing Will Clark to pop out to end the game.
