Inmates 7, Sidewinders 3

Inmates 7 – Sidewinders 3: NASOMA’s Ecumenical Series (cards and dice)

Inmates 8 – Sidewinders 4 (Baptist Bowl): Still reeling from the effects of their “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego” imitation, the Snakes lost quickly and quietly to the Beakless Chicken Gang. Rizzo hit a three-run homer in the 5^th to seal the result.

Inmates 5 – Sidewinders 3 (Baptist Bowl): A closer game but the same result. Santana continued his hot-hitting ways with another homer, while the Inmate bullpen kept things in check.

Inmates 6 – Sidewinders 3 (Church Lot): Four Inmate homers carried the day, despite feeble attempts by the Snakes to mount a comeback in the late innings. Bauer took the loss.

Inmates 8 – Sidewinders 2 (Church Lot): Rizzo hit two homers and drove in five runs, and Manaea pitched well to continue the misery for the world-traveling Slithering Reptiles. A three-run Inmate 7^th put away any hope the Snakes had of catching up.

Sidewinders 3 – Inmates 2 (12 innings – Church Lot): A Gregorius error lead to the Inmates tying the game at 2-2 in the 8^th. The Battle of the Bullpens was won by the Snakes when they burned Bradley for two hits, two walks, and a run in the 12^th for their first win of the series.

At this point a break in the action was agreed upon by both teams, as it was 1:30 in the fucking morning and cogent thought processes were no longer possible. Game 6 began Sunday morning after the Snakes attended Mass en masse.

Sidewinders 4 – Inmates 3 (Baptist Bowl): Seemingly rejuvenated after morning religious services and prodigious quantities of fat, sodium, cholesterol and nitrates at Harold Waite’s Pancake and Steak House, the Snakes built a 4-0 lead and then hung on to extend their winning streak to two. The Inmates scored in the 9^th to close the lead to 4-3 and had the tying run at second base but the Snake bullpen prevailed.

Inmates 6 – Sidewinders 1 (Baptist Bowl): Bregman and Rizzo both hit two-run homers in the 5^th to seal the game for the Beakless Chicken Gang. The Sidewinders scored their lone run in the 8^th when someone homered.

Inmates 4 - Sidewinders 2 (Baptist Bowl): Through five innings the two teams had combined for four hits, all of which were solo homeruns. The Inmates scored two more in the 6^th without homering for the win. Go figure.

Inmates 3 – Sidewinders 2 (10 innings – Church Lot): The Sidewinders scored a pair of runs in the 1^st before their offense totally shut down. The Inmates weren’t much better, but Martinez homered in the 10^th to end the misery for both teams.

Sidewinders 4 – Inmates 3 (15 innings – Church Lot): In a near-repeat of the previous game, the offenses went comatose until Bradley repeated his inability to hang in games in extra innings. The Sidewinders salvage the series closer after both teams burn through their bullpens.
