Inmates vs Fungoes

Two oddities in this series. One, the first game ended with an unprecedented (in NASOMA, anyway) walk-off steal of home. The other oddity is some nice game reports from BOTH managers. Here are both...

From The HEAD INMATE...

The Beakless Chicken Gang played the inaugural NASOMA series at WTF Park at Fungoe Estates, only to be treated like shit by the Fungi.

FUNGOES 2, INMATES 1 – A 12-inning pitchers’ duel with nine Inmate/Fungoe pitchers allowing only a total of 17 hits. A walk-off steal of home (!!!???) on a 1-6 roll with two outs in the bottom of the 12th sealed the win for the cheatin’ bastages of Fungoeville. WTF!

INMATES 3, FUNGOES 0 – Five Inmate pitchers combine to toss an 8-hit shutout.

INMATES 10, FUNGOES 2 – Vazquez shuts down the Fungoe bats, while Rowland-Smith and the Fungoe arson squad pitch batting practice. B. Molina and A. Jones tater for the Inmates.

FUNGOES 13, INMATES 6 – A Beltre grand-salami in the Inmates 1st is all the Baptist Bowl Choralaires had to sing about as the Fungoe bats awoke to pound out 15 hits, including a slammer of their own.

FUNGOES 4, INMATES 3 – A missed 1-10 HR by Ryan Howard is all that stood between ingnominy and extra-innings for the Inmates. Inmates chose to be ignominious. Papelbon shuts down Impotenmate bats in 9th to take prophylactic match. Inmates now 18-27.


And from the Fungass...

Fungoes and Inmates played today at WTF Field. The results of the inaugural games here at WTF are as follows:

Game 1:

Fungoes score the first run at WTF with a 2nd inning Triple by Zimmerman followed by a sac fly by Figgins. Wakefield gives up a run in the top of the third and the game remains tied up until the 12th inning. Fungoes leadoff batter Brett Gardner singles in the bottom of the twelth inning. Cesar izturis lays down the sac bunt and then Denard Span moves Gardner to third with the ground-out to second base. Fungoes manager Al Kaline then flashes the steal sign to Gardner who speeds down the line and steals home for the win!!! Papelbon picks up the win as the Fungoes win game one, 2-1.

Game 2:

Inmate pitching, incensed at the steal of home in game one shut down the Fungoes in game two as 5 hurlers combine for the shutout. Price takes the loss for the Fungoes as the Inmates win game two, 3-0.

Game 3:

Inmates score 4 in the first and never look back, winning it big 10-2. Row-Smith gives up the four spot in the first for the loss.

Game 4:

Inmates score 4 again in the first inning. Kershaw gives up the four spot in the first along with single runs in the 4th and 5th, yet he hangs on for the win as the Fungo offense wakes up and scores 6 in the second and 6 in the fifth, coasting to the 13-6 win.

Game 5:

Fungoes win a close game 5, 4-3 with Stetter picking up the win and Papelbon the save!

Fungoes win 3 of 5 raising their overall record to 32 - 24.

The big question the day; is a steal of home to win it considered a "walk-off" Steal!!!
