Red Rubber Showdown 14

The was a showdown of epic proportions at the end Underdog's 14th Red Rubber Showdown. Both teams fought long and hard to make it to the end of the night, but, if I could quote highlander, "Their can only be one!" Champion that is, and that champion would be the illustrious Base Gods. This was a low scoring game due to tight defense and great pitching. It was so tight that it even went into extra innings. In the final inning, the Base Gods would manage to capitalize off of the only error of the night from their opponents and would advance a runner all the way to third base without any outs. And then they used their big leg Anthony to launch a ball into the outfield to secure the game winning run. Anthony told me after that he was playing the whole game on two charlie horses in both of his hamstrings. Hats off to him pushing so hard and sacrificing his body for the team. The game ended 4-3 and even though it was low scoring it was one of the best game's that I have ever witnessed. Despite forgetting their ceremonial candle to give thanks to their beloved Base God, they found a way to be victorious in what was the most competitive Red Rubber Showdown in years.
