The MVP bracket of the Saturday and Sunday Sit and Go tournaments were dominated by the Empire and Bombers organization. Major teams such as Flight, Rotowire, and various others did not partake, but games were still played and winners were still crowned. The Sunday Tournament was very similar to its Saturday counterpart, yielding familiar faces in the winner’s circle.

Sunday Sit and Go I (Morning)

The Sunday morning tournament saw a Bombers and Empire final once again. Already meeting in the Saturday Sit and Go I Morning tournament, Bombers looked for vengeance and they did find just that. The Bombers high powered offense led by Jiraiya pounded 13 runs and let up only 6 as the Bronx Bombers defeated the New York Empire, taking home their second weekend tournament.

Sunday Sit and Go II (Night)

The evening saw a different story, as all the teams who signed up showed. The Semifinals lined up a fully loaded DRAYS team against a depleted Empire team, and a depleted Bombers team against a fully loaded Insanity team. The results were interesting to say the least. Empire managed 6 runs with two pitchers in the lineup. Led by KMAN’s 2 homeruns, the New York based ball club shot out to a 6 run lead. Fire911 falied to keep it close, as a few errors in the outfield by inexperienced fielders cost him a few runs. The DRAYS led by the bat of Haverford chipped away at the lead with solid hits into the outfield and a few infield singles. It was 6-5 in the bottom third when the DRAYS managed to mount a small rally and without one ball leaving the park, defeated Empire by the score of 7-6 in walkoff fashion as Borelli hit a Fire911 sinker to the wall in RF. OMAN failed to catch the routine liner and what plagued Empire the entire way cost them the game.

Bombers vs Insanity was an epic slugfest. Bombers only fielded three players: Cunning, BigJuddd, and GimmePie. BigJuddd aka The Panda Bear took the ball and allowed 8 runs to a very good non pitcher hitting Insanity lineup. TakeSeats had a 9 to 3 lead heading into the second, but quickly lost it as the Bomber’s offense scored 12 runs to top Insanity easily. The Bombers would once again face the DRAYS who they have been undefeated against in their last 4 meetings in tournament play.

ThePope shut down the DRAYS once again, allowing 3 runs over 3 innings, all runs in the third, leading the Bombers to a 5-3 victory. The offensive heroes for Bombers were Cunning (2 Homeruns) and BigJuddd (2 Homeruns). Masimo was unable to get into a groove the entire tournament and familiarity might have led to his demise. With the win, Bombers would win their 3rd tournament in 2 days, and their 3rd in 4 tries, appearing in all 4 finals and impressively winning games with and without a starting pitcher. Congrats to Bombers.

Thanks to the teams who showed and see you next time!
