Astros at Legends (W 16-15)

Our Superstars entered the squared circle to face a red hot 7-3 Astros team, but they were not willing to lie down and give the Astros the win.  With a quick first inning, only giving up 1 run, the Legends ripped through their lineup plating 7 on back-to-back-to-back HRs from Vinnie “Bam Bam Bigelow” Terhune, “Big Poppa Pump” Kyle Kravitz and the "Mouth of the South" Jon Kilburn. At the end of 1, the Astros faced the daunting task of reclaiming the lead from a 7-1 deficit.  The battle raged on with the Astros continuing to pick away at the Legends who struggled in the 2 and 3rd innings but came roaring back to life in the 4th plating 5 with another Bomb from Bam Bam Terhune.  The back and forth battle continued right up until the final Astros at bat.

The Astros came within a hair's breadth of being eliminated with 2 outs, when Jeremy "You Can’t See Me" Golden smashed a bunt that caught Kilburn and Hebbler by surprise...as he whipped around first ready to fly to second "I meant to do that" could still be heard hanging in the air. Flipping the line up proved big as the Astros would take the lead 15-13.  The Legends refused to lie down as 3 straight hits from “Road Dogg” David Shaw, Jacob “Warrior” Stites and Liam “Xpac”Kilburn would load the bases setting up  MingHung Tsai "Ming the Merciless" (AKA Tajiri) who had been on fire after after a week of hard BP and was ready for the challenge to seek out his finishing move... a smooth line drive down the left field line just over the glove of Enlow would land just inside the white line with Shaw crossing home and Jacob Stites flying toward home at top speed, the throw.... too late...Sites hits the plate, and ballgame for the Legends. .  An astounding game stat...the Legends had one player hit 1.000 (Vinnie Terhune 4-4) and a whopping 5 players hit .750 (3-4) and one of those was MingHung Tsai. As a Team the Legends were 25-41 = .610 team average.

Superstars of the Game:

MingHung “Tajiri” Tsai 3-4 (3 Singles, RS, 2 RBI’s) GW walk-off single to score 2

Legends at Isotopes (W 23-5)

(*Wishing Isotopes Captain, Andrew Williams, a speedy recovery!)

Fresh off their big walk-off win over the Astros, the Legends continued to hammer the ball, finisher after finisher, opening up the first inning, once again hitting all the way through the order in their first at bats and plating 5.  The Isotopes would answer with a 3 run bomb from Greer to make it 5-3 after 1.  But that would be all she wrote for the 'Topes as the Legends would just dominate and put on a hitting display.  In game that featured only one home run (Jon Kilburn), but not one, but 3 Legends would hit 1.000 (Terhune, Kilburn and Jacob Stites), add to that two players hitting .750 (Kyle Kravitz and Ron Roberts) and 2 more at .667 (Ming the Merciless would continue his dominance and Liam Kilburn) the Legends put up an astonishing 26 hits and 5 walks would leave the Legends 26-38 as a team, with a whopping .684 team average.
