Line on the game: Series Point Spread: Holy Balls -10.5 Balls beat: Game 1 immediately turned out to be a high scoring affair with Belgian scoring 3 runs in the top of the first to take a quick 3-0 lead. The Balls, however, didn't panic as they tacked on 4 with a grand slam from Paquin in the bottom of the first. Belgian put up a few more, then the Balls came on in the later innings putting up 13 runs on Belgian, not before Castle came on in relief shutting down Belgian's offense. Game 2 was a different matter, as the balls offense continued to score. The Balls racked up two ding dong daddy's from Nick Braden and quickly put the game out of reach. Belgian's scoring was minimal, putting up 1 run. Castle and Braden were outstanding offensively. Braden scored a double-digit RBI total for the series. Castle nearly hit for the cycle game 1 and only managed to get out once the entire series. Belgian beat: Though Belgian got an early lead on Chris Lewis and as he struggled to find the strike zone, it was no match for the offense of the Holy Balls as they belted several home runs with the winds blowing out against a not-so-power arm in David Buhr. Belgian still scored 8 runs and Dougie W even turned in a fine double play, but it was not enough and the Wiffles lost by 5. The offense was even slimmer for Belgian in Game 2 as the only run came off of Buhr's solo shot over the Center Field fence off of Chris Paquin. Belgian suffered it's 3rd mercy of the season in that game, losing 15-1. |
