NOBODY'S
PERFECT
I feel a little more confident talking about this game now after
the end of the Giants/49ers wild card game. At least this was only
intramural wiffleball, and no state tax revenues will be lost, and
the Dawgs won't sue me if I don't allow them to
host a Superbowl in the next three years. But I've always said that
you should never let one bad call (or up to four-ish) determine the
outcome of the game. Psi Delt came out strong and
as Brian Moore said, their bats didn't wake up
early enough. Psi Delt was up 1-0 going into the sixth, and managed
to score another four runs in the top of the sixth, giving them
a five run lead, which looked like a mountain to overcome in this
low scoring game. The Dawgs managed a two-run rally, but came up
short in the 5-2 loss to Psi Delt. Congrats to
Danny, Keith and the gang for
avenging last year's 3-2 loss in the finals to the same team in one
of the most exciting games of the year.

This was the new most exciting game of the year. And I
think I told Justin of the Gangstas
the same thing every game they played. I first saw the
Gangstas play in their 8-inning one game victory over Got
Rice. The next game I saw was their semi-final game against
Team. They led by one going into the 7th only to
have Team score a run to tie it up and send it to extra innings.
Then Team scored 3 runs for what looked like an insurmountable 7-4
lead, which the Gangstas managed to match exactly with a 3-run 2-out
rally in the 8th. Finally, the Gangstas scored one in the bottom of
the 9th to win the game 8-7. And this championship game was much the
same. Unfortunately, this one didn't end the same way. This time,
they found themselves up two runs going into the final inning
against a team that has won the tournament the last two years in a
row. But they had just lost their mens game and wanted revenge. They
scrapped together a 2-out 3-run rally in the bottom of the 7th to
close the game and steal the shirts right off the back of the
Gangstas. Congratulations for a hard fought season, and congrats to
the Dawgs for bringing it together when it really
counted.
