Fighting Ulrachers offense too much for the OC to keep up with


San Luis Obispo (AP) - The Fighting Ulrachers exploded on SP Alxndr for 15 runs in the first four innings and never looked back from there as they rebounded to take game 2 of the Gantry LCS.

Despite being out-homered 10-9 in the game, the Ulrachers homeruns all came with runners on base. The OC Legions of Doom hit 6 solo homeruns which was a significant difference in the game.

Leading the offense for the Ularchers was Laudnr. The catcher belted three shots and drove in 7 runners. Also having  big day was D.Evans. The former hitting coach for Darky blasted a pair of shots and drove in 8 runners while Whitkr chipped in with a 5-6 performance with 2 HR's and 4 RBI.

B.Hurst went the distance and did enough to earn the win against a very explosive OC offense.

J.Rice and Dwning each hit 3 HR's to lead the OC.

The series will move to Chicago for games 3, 4, and 5.

Fighting Ulrachers 17-14
OC Legions of Doom 14-10

Series tied at 1

Empire hold on to take game 2


Milwaukee (AP) - After jumping out to a 9-1 lead in the top of the 4th inning, the Galactic Empire looked like they were on their way to an easy victory. However, the Banana Hammocks would not give up that easy.

The Hammocks responded for 6 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning to tighten up the game 9-7. Both long relief pitchers kept the offenses off-balance and did not allow too many runs. Sutclf only gave up one run while Tudor only allowed 3 runs. After 7 innings, the score stood 11-8 in favor of the Empire.

In the top of the 9th, J.Leonard (Leo) hit a two run shot to give the Empire a 14-9 lead. In last half of the 9th, the Banana Hammocks responded and mounted a threat. After knocking out RP Righti out of the game, closer D.Robnsn came in to try and earn the save.
The Hammocks scored off Rbnsn on a C.Davis double which left runners at second and third with two outs and the score 14-12 for the Empire. With the crowd on their feet and roaring, M.Schmidt stepped up to the plate with the tying run on second base. Rbnsn got Schmdt to chase a splitter on the first pitch and he popped out to end the game.

D.Strwby went 5-5 with 3 doubles and a HR to lead the Empire while M.Heath hit two doubles and a homerun with 4 hits total to help from the 7-hole.

C.Davis continues to torch the Empire (had a huge series with the Artichokes in the FRBI V LCS) as he went 5-6 with 2 doubles and a triple.

Darky offered his thoughts to the media after the game, "They are tough at home and we played a little better today overall---but we still haven't peaked yet. We got some good clutch hitting and our bullpen pitched much better. We look forward to going back home to continue this series and have every intention of ending the series back at the Imperial Center in front of our loyal fans. The Force will be with us".


Galactic Empire 17-7

Darky, why was your game split up and restarted?  There seems to be a lot missing between Pt 1 and Pt 2.

[Turd]

It's both painful and hilarious how seriously Darky takes this.  My headphones crapped out halfway through and  never attempted to fix them so as not to have to listen to it anymore.

It obviously means the world to you Darky, so congrats on the second win.

Darky, why was your game split up and restarted?  There seems to be a lot missing between Pt 1 and Pt 2.

The memory stick on my camera shit on me. So I had to load the OC-FU game on to my hard drive to free up some space. Between this happening and me trying to switch windows, I think two batters went by before I had things under control---stressful situation. No funny shit going on. The game just paused (since I took a TO to upload the OC-FU game) and continued when I was able to record again. The properties on the VMV file shows that the game was not manipulated. Plus, if you look at the hits and runs prior to that, it shows that the game was not manipulated in any way---if that is indeed your point.

I have no idea why my memory stick shit on me since I cleared everything else before the game was played----only had the OC-FU game on the memory stick.

Unbelievable how we pulled out yet another win in dramatic fashion at home. I put in a lot of work into scouting the players and assembling the best team I can. So you're damn straight we want to win. Who wants to fuckin lose? Not the Empire. It's going to be a tough series imo---you guys match up well.

[Turd]

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy winning...moreso in head to head, but I do enjoy winning my FRBI games.  That being said, I try to not take it too serious...it's all good though, it's a fun league because you guys have such passion for it. I just prefer to take a casual approach to it.

Empire edges Hammocks in extra innings, home magic continues


Imperial Center (AP) - In what has surprisingly turned out to be a slugfest, the Empire overcame a 5th inning 10-2 deficit to win game 3 of the Dove RBI LCS when J.Leonard (Leo) hit a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the 10th inning with two outs.

Down 18-16 in the bottom of the 9th, D.Stwbry and G.Gaetti hit solo shots to tie up the contest and send it into extra innings. Rbnsn pitched a scoreless 10th, and with two outs, J.Leonard belted an inside fastball over everything to end the game as the record crowd at the Imperial Center erupted into a frenzy. The Empire's ability to win at home and in dramatic fashion once again has observers talking about the Empire as a team of destiny.

J.Leonard, D.Stwbry, and G.Gaetti each hit a pair of shots and B.Doran went 4-6 to lead the Empire offensively. D.Rbnsn only allowed 2 runs in his two innings of relief work and picked up the win.

The Empire is now 11-1 overall this year at home and won their 7th game in their final at-bat for the year.
The Banana Hammocks have come this far on scrappiness and heart, but the Empire showed a lot of heart tonight and their will to win has been a benchmark for their success. "People forget that the Empire is all about heart and fighting tooth and nail for the win. We are just not some machine that rolls over people. We preach sound baseball and to play to the last out", said Darkside to the swarming media.


Banana Hammocks 14-18
Galactic Empire 18-7

Empire lead the series 2-1

OC Legions of Doom finish strong, take game 3


Chicago (AP) - The OC used superb pitching and their benchmark power to pull away from the Ulrachers down the stretch to win 15-8 and take a 2-1 series lead.

The story of the day was the pitching of the Legions of Doom. Witt only allowed 4 runs, while Alxndr and Mcdowl pitched brilliantly in relief. They combined to give up only 2 runs off 6 hits in 5 innings. They limited the Ulrachers to only 2 runs after the 4th inning.

Down 6-5 in the top of the 6th inning, the OC scored 3 runs to take a 8-6 lead and added 7 more runs in the next two innings to go up 15-8 and that's how the score stayed in the 9th.

GDavis smacked a pair of shots and had 4 RBI to lead the OC charge. The OC out-homered the Ulrachers 7-3 and once again showed how fast they can put up runs on the scoreboard with their unmatched power across the board.

Close game there that had me worried. But the Straw and Donnie Baseball showed the leadership that is expected out of them. Sutclf pitched well in long relief, and D.Rbnsn rarely blows a lead---best arm from the bullpen in the FRBI league imo. Also having two putouts at home was HUGE!
Crazy, we are 12-1 at home this year. MYSTIQUE'D!!!!! One game to go to make our 3rd straight trip to the WS and the Force will be with us for game 5 so we can clinch at home---then it looks like we'll be dismantling the OC since they now have a 3-1 series lead now over the Ulrachers. I don't see the Ulrachers winning 3 straight to overcome---as well as the Hammocks. Galactic Empire-OC Legions of Doom clash coming. SUPERPOWERS ENGAGE!!!

[Darky]

Also, the pregame Temple of the Dog "Hunger Strike" song is magic for the Empire. We used that when we were down three games to two in last season's WS---and we used it after our opening loss to the Hammocks---so 5-0 lifetime with that pregame tune. So when you hear that before a game---it's trouble. No need to use more of its magic---will save it for the WS. I'm sure we can win one more game against the Hammocks without the Temple of the Dog...

Shenanigans imo
