In our 2nd weekend of action in the 2009 season there was plenty of excitement, in more ways than one! A stong thunderstorm cell brought rain, thunder, and lightning which unfortunately cancelled all of the 2pm games. We are in the process of re-scheduling those games. The games that were completed though were fantastic.
The Wailers from GH Nazarene endured a tough welcome to the league Sunday with a double-header, and both games went to extra innings! Unfortunately they dropped both games, 19-14 to Agnus Dei who delivered some thunder of their own with 6 runs in the top of the 8th inning. The second game ended 17-15 when Aaron from the CH Hilltoppers hit a game winning home run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Fox Island and Peninsula Lutheran did not go into extra innings, but still played to a one-run decision, with the God Squad of PL coming back from a 13-5 deficit to win 16-15. And in Division A, the old Believers Fellowship-Burley Bible rivalry was renewed with another classic game. In a game with great defense on both sides, the Halos and Blue Angels battled to a 9-9 tie in the 7th inning. Burley could not score in the 7th and it looked like the Halos would win in the bottom of the inning with runners on 2nd and 3rd with only 1 out. But a line-out and fly-out ended the inning and sent the game into extras. The tough Halo D again held the Blue Angels scoreless and this time they were able to win the game in the bottom of the 8th with a run-scoring double by OF Jason.
