Inmates 7, Skyscrapers 3

Via CM:

Inmates 7 – Skyscrapers 4 (Empire State Ballpark): A four-run Inmate 6^th slammed the door on the Scrapers in the inaugural meeting between the two teams. Nunez tatered in the 1^st to set the tone for the game. Rendon jacked one for the losers.

Inmates 4 – Skyscrapers 2 (Empire State Ballpark): Solid pitching by both Davies and Kluber highlighted a game without many offensive highlights. Cargo homered for the Inmates.

Skyscrapers 3 – Inmates 2 (Empire State Ballpark): In a rare showing of competence, Pineda allowed only one hit over six innings, handing a 2-0 Inmate lead over to the Inmate Arson Squad. In the last of the 9^th, still trailing 2-1, Ellsbury led off with a walk off of Jeffress. Goldschmidt followed with a single, then Jeffress uncorked a wild pitch to tie the game. Machado and Kipnis both walked to load the bases with no outs. Joey Bats followed with a mammoth 208-foot single to end the game. Bautista was showered with Gatorade; Jeffress was pelted with shit.

Skyscrapers 7 – Inmates 2 (Baptist Bowl): Bautista homered, Kluber pitched well, and the Beakless Chicken Gang played like zombies. ‘Nuff said.

Inmates 3 – Skyscrapers 1 (Baptist Bowl): Scherzer allowed solo homers to Martinez, Rizzo, and Cargo to ruin an otherwise nice pitching performance. Rickard tatered for the Vertically Inclined in a game where all runs scored on solo shots.

Skyscrapers 1 – Inmates 0 (11 innings - Empire State Ballpark): A great pitching performance by both teams. A scoreless tie was broken in the 11^th when a Kipnis double scored Goldschmidt with the walk-off run. Dull picked up the win, throwing four innings of scoreless relief. Manaea wasted a fine performance due to the return of the LDMF.

Inmates 4 – Skyscrapers 1 (Empire State Ballpark): Scherzer continued his Mr. Potato Head ways, allowing solo-taters to both Segura and Jones. Castro (!?!) hit a two-run shot off of Broxton to ice the game.

Inmates 11 – Skyscrapers 5 (Baptist Bowl): The Inmate bats finally un-snoozed, blasting Kluber for twelve hits in 5 1/3. Segura, Drury, and Jones all homered; Wood picked up a three-inning save.

Inmates 5 – Skyscrapers 4 (Baptist Bowl): Nunez homered in the Inmate 8^th for the winning run in a close game. “Mr. Potato Head” Scherzer allowed a two-run tater to Altuve, but struck out eleven in seven innings. Dull took the loss in relief.

Inmates 5 – Skyscrapers 4 (17 innings – Baptist Bowl): The Game That Almost Never Ended went into extra innings tied 3-3 thanks to a homer in the last of the 9^th by defensive-replacement Jones. The Tall Ones grabbed a 4-3 lead in the 12^th but the Inmates came back once more to tie. Finally, to a chorus of loud snoring from the 28 Inmate faithful left in the bleachers, Martinez doubled home Rizzo with the game-winner in the 17^th.
