POTW: EVERYONE!

Booze on First

What do we want out of sports? We want teams playing at a high skill level while also creating as much entertainment as possible. It's rare that a sporting event delivers both for it's full duration. Which is why we took the even rarer step of awarding our POTW honors to both of the entire teams Hammer Pants and Booze On First for playing one of the most amazing games we've seen in a while. Call it the "Game of the Week" if you want. This was a game that had it all from start to finish, with no one player dominating but everyone making fantastic plays throughout. There were 5 or 6 great outfield catches from both teams. There were excellent throw outs from third to first. There were great beans, excellent bunts, and near misses at home plate and just about everywhere else. Take a look at some run totals from the ends of innings throughout the game: 2-1, 2-2, 5-2, 5-5, 10-5, 10-7, and... 10-10. That's right, folks, it was one of those games where you could say the team who kicked last had the best shot to win it, and that's exactly what happened. Hammer Pants were leading much of the game, but Booze on First refused to go away. After giving up a big inning in the 5th, they slowly built back until they had tied it in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs, a runner on third, and a chance for the win. A kicker laid down a bunt to the pitcher, the throw was made, and she was out at first by no more than a hair. Tie game. Well, how else could it have ended??? Congratulations everyone on this fantastic, action packed game!
