Game 17 - August 28th - Jefferson Park
So the big decision last night was how long the season would go on. Early consensus seemed to be for one more week, but the almost unanimous majority at the end of the game favored 3 weeks more, which would make this season 1 week shorter than last season (21 games). So the schedule for the remainder of the year is as follows (unless it decides to change). Next week (September 4th) at Cuernevaca Park, the week after (September 11th), McDonough, and season finale on September 18th, at Wolff, as always.
On to the game. The big winner was AJ Boyd who now has a grand total of 3 points, which I think was the same number of points he scored in his first game last season. Another “better late than never” player to score last night was Deme who got his first win of the season, and possibly of his career. Who’s down with OPP? Deme is. The final three players to win their games will probably come as a surprise to y’all. John, Shane and Dom all won their games in surprise up-sets over heavily favored opponents to move up into 1st, 2nd and 3rd places respectively, which by an odd stroke of luck, are the exact same places they were in last week, except now they dropped Mike and Poops down a notch into 2nd and 3rd place ties. In the house challenge no places were moved, but Ft. Downing and BCH did add a point to their lead over Clay st. There were no wicket kills, but there were several killed mallets and a couple of bruised egos and shattered dreams. Next week is at City of Cuernevaca Park, and here’s where it stands going into the home stretch.
