Game 11: Merry Beavers 8, H-W Demons 7
We'll have to keep the Cristal on ice for another week.
With a chance to win the franchise's first-ever outright Division V crown, the Demons gagged like Monica Lewinsky on a humid night at Moorman Main against those pesky Beavers.
The Beavers scored a run in the bottom of the seventh - on a sacrifice fly of all things - to hand the Demons their second loss of the season.
All the Beavers could do was play spoiler after they were upset by Phil Craig last week, giving them four losses and knocking them out of title contention. That left DT Tattoo as the only three-loss team in the league. Since the Demons swept DT Tattoo during the regular season, we own the tiebreaker over them. As a result, the Demons have indeed wrapped up the Division V crown no matter what happens next week against Uncle Bob's Bar & Grill.
The Demons would like to go out with a win, which they could have had on Thursday had they played any defense at all. We misplayed two balls in the outfield that led to five Beaver runs. Nick the Quick, playing out of position in left field, misplayed a ball into a three-run inside the park homer. Later, the normally sure-handed Shawny dropped a ball that was over his head in center field, allowing two Beaver runs to score.
We also came up a bit empty in the key hit department as well. With the game tied at 7 in the top of the six and the bases loaded with one outs, Jazzy Jeff flew out to short center field and Kriss Kross popped out to third base to end the threat.
We couldn't mount any threat in the top of the seventh as the Weamster fouled out to end the inning.
In addition to his struggles in the field, Shawny - the undisputed MVP of Division V - struggled at the plate. The bottom of the order kept things alive, but couldn't get any help from the top.
DOB played a flawless catcher, recording another putout, and went 2 for 3 with a run scored to push his batting average back to .500 (14 for 28) with six runs scored and 10 RBI.
Rob Base, hitting last, also had a solid night. In addition to his fielding gaffe, the pressure of hitting third got to Nick the Quick, who had just one hit.
Regardless of whether we win or not next week, we'll have a postgame celebration of our first title. Game time is 8 p.m. at Moorman Main. Bring your beer and your game. We're not going out like punks with a loss.
Until next week.

Champion Rap? Are you kidding me? I would've figured We are the champions by Queen would be more fitting since it's obvious DOB is a "still in the closet" Freddie Mercury disciple...
Did you frickin' win or what?
