Confirmed! That IS What She Said!
It was bedlam moments after Jesse started the 6-3 double play to end the game as security couldn't hold the fans back as they rushed the field to hoist their heroes on their shoulders! After a long, grueling season, That's What SHE Said!! is league champion, finishing off an undefeated season with a strong run through the playoffs.
In the semifinal, That's What SHE Said!! blew past Don't Come On My Base 21-8 and entered the championship game on a roll.
The Championship was set to be a classic, as That's What SHE Said!! was facing the Confident 7's, a team they had beaten by only one run earlier in the season. It turned out to be just that, as both teams went back and forth the whole game.
After surrendering a run in the top of the first, That's What SHE Said!! responded with 4 in the bottom of the first, ignited by an RBI single up the middle by Trisha.
After allowing the Confident 7's back within a run, Spencer made a leaping grab at SS to hold the 7's scoreless in the top of the 3rd. That's when Trisha came calling again, as she smacked an RBI single down the LF line to extend the lead to 6-3.
Again, the 7's creeped back in the top of the 4th, bringing it to within one, but in the bottom of the 4th, Mark came up huge with a 2-out, RBI single to make it 7-5.
In the top of the 6th, the 7's again brought the game back within one run at 8-7, but that's when the bats heated up. After working the bases loaded with one out, Jesse started an epic rally that broke the game open. Jesse started a string of 5 consecutive bases loaded singles. He was followed by Spencer, Trisha, Todd, and Nick. By the end of the rally, 7 runs had scored, and a seemingly insurmountable 15-7 lead was taken into the top of the 7th.
Never relenting, the 7's quickly got runners on 1st and 2nd with one out, as they looked poised to start a rally. However, the rally ended just as quickly as it began when a sharply hit ball found it's way to Jesse, who stepped on 2nd and threw on to 1st to end the inning, end the game, and seal the championship!
When presented the coveted Underdog "CHAMPS" shirts, Kyle kissed the bag and when asked what they're going to do now that they are league champions, they shouted, "We're going to Kathy's!"
Congratulations to That's What SHE Said!! on an undefeated, League Championship season!
Dominance on the Mound
The player of the week for the last two rounds of the playoffs is Andrew McCord! Facing a lineup filled with hard-hitting sluggers, Andrew brought his A game and shut down the Confident 7's, holding them to only 7 runs. In addition to his nasty stuff on the mound, Andrew fielded his position extremely well, making several quick plays off the mound to keep runners off base. At the plate, he was just as effective, as he was the only player to have an extra base hit for That's What SHE Said!! Andrew's clutch performance at the plate and on the mound led his team to the championship!
Congratulations to Andrew and That's What SHE Said!!
