You couldn’t ask for more of a storybook ending to Sunday’s action in the PBL of the 6:00 game. Featured in our cover video on instagram with the call by our newly minted play-by-play announcer Ryne Hancock. The Weebies and Secret 9 battled a hard fought game with great pitching and hitting on both sides, with the game tied after 9 innings forcing extra innings. The Weebies came up scoreless in the top of the 10th, and Carson Briggs of Secret 9 seized the opportunity in what I believe to be the first walk-off home run in PBL history.
S9 (8) – 5WW (6)
In the 9 AM game, The Beef Sliders squared off against the green team formerly known as the Parleaux Beer Labs. Despite putting up a promising 9 runs, the Sliders walk off the field still winless on the season while the green team is showing a burst of new excitement in their lineup.
BS (9) – Par (12)
At noon, the Rougarou took on the Pelicans in their first and only matchup of the season, a rematch of last season’s first round playoff with a reversal in outcome. The Pels batters came out with a vengeance against every pitcher Rougarou put on the bump, and are able to keep the Rougarou scoreless through 8 innings, with Andy Gross claiming the title of shutout-ruiner with a solo-shot home run in the bottom of the 9th—a small consolation in a blowout.
Rou (1) – Pels (20)
