Championship Wrap-Up
From what I hear, it was a great game.
Four play started strong and took a commanding 8-2 lead.
Then the mexican beer started to flow and Four Play's lead slipped due to double vision in the field and CotM's knack for playing solid ball. Case of the Monday's went up 10-8.
Four Play, being the experienced drinkers (I mean ball players) that they are, came back to tie it with Back-to-Back Jacks by the meat of the lineup. The final inning could go down as the greatest inning in the history of SOMA softball.
There was a play at the plate that went Four Play's way, denying Mucci's hustle play to take the lead. In Four Play's final at bat, "Rochester" Jason DePinto lined a single to start it off but was almost stranded as 2 straight outs were recorded. Another single by Taylor "these are my new hitting pants" Umlauf and some added hustle put a man on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs.
With the game on the line, "Big Game" Matt walked into the box. After pointing to deep left to back up the fielders, he scorched a dribbler down the third base line. With JDP running on contact and "Big Game" doing his best Carl Lewis impression, Case of the Monday's couldn't secure the final out. Matt crossed 1st with the speed of a jamaican bobsledder and Jason crossed the plate like he just finished the NYC marathon.
FOUR PLAY won the game 12-11 and Maplewood/South Orange saw its first ever undefeated (with a tie) season.
Side note, I wasn't at the game so all of the above could be complete bullshit. I'm pretty sure I made up the part about the last inning. I heard the synopsis at the bar later and we all know how things can be embellished. But I think its right.
Congrats to everyone who made this season a lot of fun.
It's roughly 150 days until catchers and pitchers report.
Oil up the glove, stretch them legs and get some rest.
April will be here before you know it.
