Week 1 - Wrap up
Week 1 of the 2012 season was maybe the most competitive week I have witnessed to date. If you remove the ass kicking that the Purple Reign squad received at the hands of the defending champions the Honey Batters. Keep your heads up Reign.....at least you got free pizza!
The 6:30 game was a barn burner ending up in a 13-12 win for 16 & Loving it. The contest also featured Mike "The German" Gass striking out so who ever took the under (3) on his at bats before striking out is the winner.
In the spotlight game of the week in the 8pm slot, Purple Reign came out swinging against the Honey Batters and took an early 1st inning lead. The Honey Batters answered quickly in the bottom of the 1st and stood on the Reigns throat for the remainder of the game. 22-7 was the final and it was over well before that.
The much hyped game of week featuring RedRum vs Silver Bullets lived up to its billing. RR left it all out on the field overcoming injuries to key players, pulling it out 14 to 12 in twelve innings. SB Eric Diehl had a 2 run homer, and the stage was set when he came to bat in bottom of 12th with 2 on 2 out, but he jumped on the first pitch and flied out to third to end the game. The game featured 1 broken collar bone, 1 police officer, and 2 paramedics and no one noticing that Eric was most likely using an illegal bat.
Great opening week if you weren't in Purple....keep 'em coming!!!

2012 League format:
- There will be no divisions, just one league with 6 teams.
- Regular season will consist of 10 games, playing each team twice.
- Season starts May 18 thru July 27 (no games July 6)
- Playoffs are August 10, 17, and 24
- All scheduled games are single games, if the weather does not cooperate then we will need to adjust schedule. That can mean doubleheaders and time change for you scheduled game. Your Captains will be informed of any changes the Monday AM prior the weeks game.
- Reason for the change is to make the regular season more important. All six teams will make the playoffs but with the bye week on August 10 for the top two teams it give us all more incentive to get those top two spots. Typically the first two weeks of August are the busiest for vacations, so we opted to have Summer Classic on August 3 and first round of playoffs August 10.

AUGUST 10 7:00 PM Team 6 vs 3
8:30 PM Team 5 vs 4
Teams 1 and 2 get a bye

The goal is to get up to 60 players, 15 a team. Game 1 is at 6:30 PM, game 2 is 8:00 PM, the winner of the first 2 games will play a Championship game at 9:30 PM.
