EYS eradicated any chance for an exciting opening game of the 2013 Media League Championship by stomping on Skyline Diner early and often. After the second inning, EYS held a firm, but not insurmountable 6 run lead. The game turned into a laugher in the 4th after EYS methodically dumped a 9 run inning on Skyline to take a 17-3 lead. Skyline essentially capitulated game 1 to EYS at this point and the race was on to record 9 more outs before darkness set in.
News
***Long time EYS veteran shortstop, Kevin S, re-aggravated his oblique and was forced to leave the game early. Justin "Pigpen" R stepped in at short and immediately lived up to his moniker.
***Very long time EYS veteran catcher, Brandi G, tested her surgically repaired knee in the bottom of the 6th. The result was a 4-3 force, but the ball was hard struck and Brandi ran well.
***This is the 6th consecutive Championship series for the EYS franchise dating back to their MisFits and MisFits-Probation days. Deron S, Brandi G, John C, and Kevin S have been stewards for and stalwarts of the team for the stretch of success. Deron S has been with the team nearly since its genesis in 2002, Brandi G joined a bit later, John C was recruited in 2007, and Kevin S joined in 2008.
The Media League Championship Series resumes on Tuesday, September 3, at Nott Road Field #4.
