Hello, baseball fans! Its Championship Weekend this weekend at Larry Gilbert Stadium. That’s right, round one of the playoffs concluded last Sunday after two, equally long games. It was a hot one out there with the heat index over 100, sparking a few pop up rain storms accompanying the pop ups over our humble field. Yes, it was Wet Hot American Baseball and the two championship teams have been decided.
The @fifthwardweebies will visit the @bsjbluesbaseball this Sunday at high noon. These teams advanced after the Weebies and @discretestreetriot decided to put their toes away and play some ball. Following the Weebies/CSR contest, the @s9nola and Blues took the field for a tense, 14-inning contest. Alvarado stole home to put the Blues into the championship match — an exciting conclusion to an exciting game.
The Gala Game will follow the championship game this Sunday. Thanks to all the grounds crew that helped get the field playable for round one. Stay tuned for more updates for the weekend. If you want to help our crew chief, Andy Gross from Rougarou, umpire the championship game, please let me know!
