Belgian beat:

Balls beat: Friday night, Belgian hosted the Balls in what would be the teams' final regular season series of the year. This series culminated in the sheer blunder of Belgian's season, as the Balls lit up scoreboard in an apparent batting practice session.

In game one, Castle opposed Alexia on the mound, in which the Holy Balls scored 25 runs. All the Balls hit multiple home runs, led by Paquin with a four home run game. Corbett, Bullard, Castle, and Braden each added two of their own. Castle was superb, pitching a shut-out in the three inning mercy.

In game two, two ex-teammates rivaled on the mound as Matt faced Paquin. Matt showed composure on the mound, until the second inning when the Balls bats heated back up. Corbett added two more home runs to his day total, as well as contributions from Bullard and Braden adding one of their own. Balls shut-out Belgian 12-0. The play of the year occurred late in the game as Belgian's Doug Wesserling smoked a line drive to David Castle at shortstop. In a quick reaction, Castle got his hand up, deflected the ball, then Paquin reached out and was able make the grab on the fly.

Aces beat: The Diablos vs. Aces matchup was sure to be a tale of two pitchers duels, and that’s exactly what they were. In game one, Chandler Phillips squared off against Evan Bortmas. The Aces got an early run off of a hit and a few walks, but that would not be enough. Late in the game, Phillips helped his cause and hit a 2 run bomb over the short right field fence. The Aces were not able to strike again and lost 2-1.

Game two featured Evan Bischoff vs. Craig Skinner and Nicco Lollio. Bischoff returned to his 2012 form and threw an absolute gem, surrendering 2 hits and only 1 walk. The Aces were able to back him up, scoring 3 runs, 2 of which were on a ding-dong daddy by Bortmas.
