Game 17, August 8th, 2006
It’s all about the late season surge. Almost everyone from last nights winners circle has scored the majority of their points in the last few weeks. Actually, the winners circle was almost identical to last weeks with one unfortunate exception. The big winner was Shane, who, if you count the tournament, has now won 3 times in a week and a half, and went from zero to 3 points in two games. Mike is also coming on strong and with his win and wicket kill last night, has scored 6 points in 4 weeks, bringing him up to a total of 7. Jess, after stealing my seat, now has 3 points in the last 3 weeks and a total of four. John moves back up onto the podium in a Simpkins brother tie for third with his point from last night, which is his 3rd in two games and his 8th overall. So that was all a little convoluted, so here’s the recap.
Shane was the winner of the poison battle-2 points
Mike won his game and got a wicket kill-2 points
Jess was a game winner-1 point
John also a game winner-1 point
Traditionally, we’d only have about 4 or 5 games left, but we’ve been playing faster, smaller games all season, and we’re actually ending with daylight still. So last night there was talk that we might be able to go longer this year than last, which would be great for all of us late bloomers. We’ll just have to see how it goes. Next week is at Congress Park and here’s where we stand now.
