Round One
Na Pahu Piha vs. Loveland (aka Quiet Hands)
Na Pahu fielded a concentrated (10 person) division one caliber lineup and we blew out the gates in the first inning as we batted through the lineup, scoring 6, but unfortunately left na pahu piha with the poorly timed return of "old-rob".
inning by inning 'quiet hands' chipped away at our lead and we began to play down to their level - jefe and toby went for their best bad news bears impression on a few occasions.
a few close calls didn't go our way and we found ourselves down two, faced with our last at bat.
the air was thick, filled with nervous tension.
spencer proclaims....'i'll do a poledance if we win'
evidently, that's the kind of gimmick Na Pahu responds to, but just to keep things interesting we could only muster 2 runs - leaving the score 10-10 at the end of 7.
to extra innings we go...
runner on second to start the inning and Na Pahu breaks serve - shutting down quiet hands in the top of the 8th. Na Pahu's turn at the plate and coach got the honor of second base...them suckas was toast. skaidra eagle-eyed her way to first base with a walk, and then wood chip proceeded to rocket-launch a ball over the left fielders' head - pau.
final score (8 innings)
Na Pahu Piha 11
Loveland 10
on to round two....
