King Friday visited the New Drey to finish off their season series with the Flying Squirrels. The Squirrels were without many of their regulars, so good friend of the league, Chris Kincaide joined them for the two games. With Constanti gone, and Corbett unavailable to pitch, Carl Coffee took the mound for the Squirrels in Game 1. Richard Hurd once again brought a full team, and Brandon Mushinski pitched for Friday. The Squirrels first four batters scored to go up 4-0, and that happened to be the only runs they scored all game. Mushinski pitched very well after his 1st inning struggles. Carl Coffee and the knuckleball seemed to be working as he shut down King Friday for a two hit shut out as the Squirrels won 4-0.
Game 2 saw Brandon Corbett pitch against 12 year old Ryan Hurd Jr., Richard's nephew. The Squirrels once again started off strong, scoring their first two batters. Rookie Ryan Alexia had the best game of his early career going 3-5 with two runs scored. Corbett pitched a gem, only allowing one hit. Ryan Jr. pitched very well in his Wiffle debut by striking out nine. The Squirrels added a run in the 2nd inning and they took the win 3-0.

King Friday hosted the seals using the New Drey as their home field. Game 1 saw Greg Franzen start his second ever game pitching and had little trouble handling the struggling bats of king Friday. Poor fielding and lack of run support continue to cause Friday pitchers to get in holes they cannot climb out of. Mushinski has pitched well this season with the exception of a few bad innings that end up being the difference. King Friday keeps it close, but loses a heartbreaker 1-0.
Game 2 had King Friday looking to salvage something, anything from the final game of four-game series with their rivals the Mattseals. The young rookie Ryan Hurd Jr. starting his second game of the day/year held strong for most of the game, and a few hits mixed in with a couple walks had King Friday with their first lead of the season until the floor fell out from under them. Ryan Jr. gave up a couple walks to start the 4th inning, and together with a few blunders from the fielders the game got away from them once again. Five outs away from their first win, the game turned into a 5-1 loss to the Seals.

The Mattseals and the Squirrels met for the only two games they would play against each other this season. For Game 1 the Squirrels called upon David Gapske once again to pitch, and the Seals had notorious Squirrel killer, Jason Hewlett pitch. The Squirrels were able to score a run in the first inning, thanks to a Nick Coffee RBI walk, and that would be all the run support they would need as David Gapske was in strong form. Hewlett also pitched well for the Seals, but took the tough loss as the Squirrels won 1-0.
Nobody could ever have predicted what was in store for Game 2. Brandon Corbett once again pitched for the Squirrels, and Adam Cosby pitched for the Mattseals. Not much happened in the 5 innings of regulation play, so the game innocently went to extra innings. After 7 innings of play, both teams faced the difficult decision of whether they should keep their pitchers in and lose them for the next two games. The Squirrels had to ride Corbett, since they really did not have another pitching option. The Seals almost pulled Cosby, but at the last second kept him in to finish the game. Although neither team was able to score, the teams were able to get on base. There were 21 total hits between the teams, so many runners were stranded on base throughout the game. The game quickly went to double digit innings, with both pitchers showing no signs of fatigue. It wasn't until the top of the 18th inning that someone crossed the plate, when the Seals were able to score a run on a Mike Myers RBI single to score Greg Franzen. The Squirrels went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning, and the Seals won 1-0 in a record setting game.
