Rhinos vs the AWD

Rhinos 5, Killer Bees 5
Rhinos 2, VuvuZuckers 3
Rhinos 3, Sidewinders 7

Two biggest news flashes: Jair Jurrjens threw a no-hitter for the Bees, allowing only 3 walks in the 6-0 victory over the Rhinos.

The Snakes and VuvuZelas tied for the AWD title with records of 97-65. Per NASOMA tie-breaker rules, the Sidewinders and Vuvus will play a 1-game playoff to determine which team wins the division (and gets a bye in the first round), and which team has to turn around and play on the road the next day as a wild card. The home team for the 1-game playoff will be determined by a roll of the 20-sided die by the Commissioner.


Game details from Colonel Rhino...

Rhinos go 3-2 vs Bees

It was one of those typical series between the Bees and Rhinos, 4 of 5 games were determined by 1 run and could of gone either way, luckily the high priced Rhino bullpen came through.

Game 1 - Rhinos get shut out 1 - 0 by Hansen as the Rhino bats couldn't put together two consecutive hits.

Game 2 - Trailing 6 to 7 in the 8th Kemp singled stole second and with 2 outs Dickerson doubled and Hanley followed up with a single to give the Rhinos an 8-7 win.

Game 3 - Rhinos win 5 to 4 on 8 strong innings from Millwood, Bell picked up a nervous save.

Game 4 - Rhinos win another close one 4 to 3, with Bell rounding out his season with a save.

Game 5 - Is one for the Bees record books with Jurrjens pitching a no-hitter against the Rhinos and was only 3 walks from a perfect game.


From Beeboy...
Jose - Bees take 3 of 5 at the Hive. Attached are the .html files. Somehow I must have deleted the game files and subsets for our series. I had a discrepancy in my record/stats within the game and in my spreadsheet (which I update periodically). In trying to find the errors, I think I deleted a few files by accident. Sorry, but I guess you will have to manually enter these stats.

(Editor's note: The above is NASOMAspeak for "Blow me. That's what you get for taking so long to play these games. Oh, and I have great calves.")
