Coconut Creek Crushers @ Dallas Cougars |
|
|---|---|
| Series Preview: | With the season 2/3 complete both teams are starting to dream about the 2018 draft. |
| Game #1: | Hunter Dozier breaks up a not hit bid by Andrew Heaney with two outs in the bottom of the 6th inning and later breaks a 1-1 tie in the 8th with a 2 RBI-single. Heaney’s great pitching effort goes for naught as he allowed 3 runs in the 8th, but he does strike out 15.

The game winning hit was a 2 out double by Will Myers in the top of the 9th.
Final Score Coconut Creek 1, Dallas 0 |
| Series Summary: | The two teams split the series 3-3 and both managers/owners ponder how Corbin and Heaney have overachieved thus far in the 2017 MWBL season. |

|
|---|---|
| Series Preview: | Jersey is looking towards the future, while Tempe is enjoying it while it lasts. |
| Game #1: | An early two run homer by Cabrera put Tempe on the board and it looked like Chacin looked like he’d get the easy win until Phat took him deep with three run hr in the 8th.

BB 5 TCP 3 W – Nicolino (2) |
| Game #4: | Bandicoot’s strap on their hittin’ shoes and rake 14 hits. Only pure fortune on the Patriot side limited the damage to 7 runs. Triple Creek made it interesting scoring 5 during the 5th and 6th to take a 1 run lead into the 6th. That was short lived as Bethesda hangs a 3-spot and the bullpen goes into lock-down.
W – Ramirez (3) |
| Game #5: | All Patriots as Alex Meyer sneaks sleeping pills into the Bandicoot gatorade supply. Meyer tosses 7 innings of shutout ball as the offense rises late to put the game out of reach with 2 pinch-hit dingers.

| Game #6: | No scoring until the 6th when the Bandicoot draw first blood. Patriots knot it 1-1 after 7 innings. Bandicoots score single runs in 8th and 9th to take a 2 run lead. Madson enters the 9th looking a little weary and is roughed up quickly for 3 runs allowing the Patriots to squeak out a series tie.
BB 3 TCP 4 W – Jennings (5) |
| Series Summary: | Lot of hits for both sides and some fun close games in a 3-3 split. |
