Dee-Nee qualifier tonight!

[Gantry]

Sperling eeks out a win:

Sperling (Ca) - 10, 5 HRs
Potsie (Dt) - 9, 7 HRs

[Sperling]

I held Potsie to his worst offensive display.  I'll take it.  He doesn't look very good right now.  I'll take the win over him and the win over VitB6.  2-3 makes this day worthwhile.  I was definitely dealt a pretty crappy hand by not having pick for the first two games. 

Pots and Rack up now.  A win by Pots gives him a 5-1 record.  Not too shabby. 

A win by Rack gives him and I a 2-3 record.  Thus we have a deciding game to the 3rd win.  If he loses he needs to win to give him a 2-4 record and me a 2-4 record.  If I beat him it will disqualify him.   The pressure definitely is on him, but he can make these qualifiers worthwhile. 

Dee-Nee!

[Sperling]

WOW!!!


Potsie won in a walkoff

Potsie (Dt) 14 - 9 HRs
Jason (Bo) 12 - 7 Hrs

Unbelievable!    Jason and Sperling up for the faceoff

[Sperling]

The standings:

Potsie 5-1
Sperling 2-3
Jason 1-4

[Gantry]

Rach here:

I had to beat Sperling to force a tie breaker.  A win by Sperling and he goes to the main tourney.


Game 1:  Rack (Det) slaughters Sperling (Cali) 13-3 in 4 innings, to force a 1 game tie breaker.

Rack has first choice of team and chooses Detroit.

Final game:  Game is back and forth.  Rack is up by 9 in the bottom of the 5th and goes for the slaughter by subbing out Alexander for Heathbar with a man on first.  Ground out to 2nd.  Dah-Nah.  Sperling fights back with 11 runs in the next 2 innings to take a 2 run lead.  Rack has no choice but to sub out Guillermo for King for the last 3 innings.  Rack hits a few HR's and take a 4 run lead going into the top of the 9th.  Joyner singles.  Potatoes is up.  Grounds out into a DP.  Downing then flies out to LF to end the game.

Rack moves on to the main tourney although I admit I completely sucked and don't deserve to play.  I just got lucky that 1 person was rustier than me.

DEE-NEE!
