:: Week 11 - Summer Sunshine and 'Staches ::

Week 11 came into action and the sun was blasting it's heat down while teams were battling for position for the upcoming league playoff tournament. With one week remaining til the league tournament, teams fought to maintain or improve their place, with the Bears pulling out a tight win over the Nads 14-13. That loss drops the Nads from 4th down to 6th and moves the Bears into 5th - a game behind the Riddlers. That sets up a final weekend match up between the Bears and Riddlers. A Riddlers win locks them into 4th, but a Bears win could give them 4th (owning the tiebreaker with what would be 2 wins over the Riddlers). BUT...if the Bears win AND the Nads win, the league would end up with 3 teams locked at 7-5 and a healthy tiebreaker would be used. The net result - who's seeded 4th, 5th and 6th.
More to come on that later. 


Special kudos to the Kids and their "Rally 'Staches". Very "handsome".

MARS/VENUS

The annual Mars/Venus game is scheduled for Saturday August 25th, 2012.
The game will be played after all the tournament games are done for the day.
The field used will be determined at the tournament.

If you're unaware of this event, here's the quick version:

- Men vs Women (whomever wants to play can sign the registration sheet that will be at the beer tent)
- Everyone is welcome to play so don’t be shy
- Coaches will be determined the day of for men and women. 
- Women make the rules and direct the men to play where the women see fit
- When women bat, they get to tell the outfielders to be inside the short cones or outside the far cones
- Men will bat however Laura sees fit (whether with a triangle bat, one handed, switch hitting, head butting, or whatever).
- 6 inning game
- bragging rights are on the line
- fun will be had!

NOTE: The women are the defending champions, having scored a run in the bottom of the 6th inning to pull it out in 2011. (The men pulled out the victory in 2010).
