Have you ever played baseball in an apocalyptic swarm of termites? We have. No delays necessary. This and more from Perry Roehm Stadium yesterday. Let me tell you about it!
9:00 AM
S9 & CSR had themselves a close battle until the Secret 9 released their secret weapon. While everyone has come to expect homers from the hulking Carson Briggs, S9 unleashed the untapped power of Phil “Hobbit Strength” Minnissale, as he hit his first career grand slam in the PBL to widen the run differential in this game. Congrats Phil, and thanks to you and Jarrod for putting together the crawfish boil.
S9 (11) – CSR (6)

Noon saw a nice matchup of PBL OGs between the Fifth Ward Weebies and Rougarou, and the Weebies prove that they want a spot in the playoff contention with big shutdown pitching from Danny Gibbs to get the win.
5WW (12) – Rou (6)
3:00 PM
With a 3-run homerun from Grande in the top of the 1st, the Pels set the tone in what turned out to be a close matchup against the undefeated Blues. Despite trailing 10-0, the Blues battle themselves back to 10-7 in a late rally, but ultimately the Pels defense shut down the game, and become the first team to post a W against the Blues this season reclaiming the True Blue Cup in the process. Listen to the play-by-play audio broadcast of this game on the PBL website now here!
Blues (7) – Pels (10)
6:00 PM
Unnamed Green Team (now known as the Gentilly Giants) & the Beef Sliders squared off in what was a tight matchup with more than a few weird plays, an apocalyptic swarm of termites, and the worst heckler in the history of the PBL. Despite solid offense, the Beef Sliders were plagued by defensive blunders, and the green team extend their win-streak to 3.
GG (7) – BS (4)
With the conclusion of this week’s action, the Blues secure a playoff spot, and all eyes are on the Giants, Pels, 5WW, and S9—four teams vying for three playoff spots, with only one week to go in the PBL regular season, Spring 2021.
