Game 1:
Fiers vs. Travis Wood
The fourth batter of the game (Todd Frazier) hits a 3-run homer. Wahoos string together 4 hits in the bottom of the first and get a pair of runs back. Looks like it's going to be one of THOSE games. Calhoun hit a 2-run blast in the seventh to tie the score, 5-5. Refsnyder answered with a 2-run shot in the bottom of the inning. Wahoos added 2 in the eighth and Betances retired the final four batters to nail down the save. 9-5 Wahoos
Game 2:
Dickey vs. Estrada
Refsnyder -- in at 2B this series -- giveth and he also taketh away. He blasted a big triple in the second inning and scored. He also allowed a single at second in the fourth to allow a run. And then he added an RBI double in the sixth. Wahoos hang on for a 6-3 victory after Melancon and osuna combine to hold the Nads scoreless the final 4 innings.
Game 3:
Nick Martinez vs. Anibal Sanchez
Kendrys Morales helped puncuate a 4-run Wahoos outburst in the third with a three-run jimmy jack. He hit a solo blast in the 5th. All hell broke loose in the seventh. The Nads broke out for eight runs including a grand slam from Todd Frazier to greet Dellin Betances. Now, the Nads lead, 8-7. Crap. Dozier followed with a homer. Ugh. Nads hang on to win, 9-7.
Game 4:
Dickey vs. Verlander
And here we go again. Montero hits a grand slam in the first inning for the Nads. Wahoos fall behind 5-0 before a Norris solo shot in the fourth. Then, in the ninth, the comeback began. Kendrys Morales hit a 2-run homer to tie the score with 2 outs in the ninth. Refsnyder scores on a game-winning single from Pham with one out in the 12th. Wahoos hang on, 6-5.
Game 5
Martinez vs. Sanchez
Wahoos jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Refsnyder stayed hot with a homer in the second. Sigh. After building an 8-4 lead the Nads wouldn't go away. Betances and company let them back in the game. To keep things interesting, Khris Davis homered with two on in the ninth to give us the 11-8 win. Absolutely nothing comes easy.
For the series, Rob Refsnyder hit .609 with 4 doubles, a triple and 3 homers. Wahoos hit .321 as a team with 16 homers. Khris Davis hit 5 homers. The Nads hit .257 with 8 homers. Frazier hit .500 with 9 RBI.

Inmates 6, FFTs 4
INMATES 10 – FFTs 1 (Baptist Bowl): Inmates pounded W. Chen from the get-go, highlighted by a three-run homer by Jones in the 3rd. Not much good happened for the FFTs.
FFTS 6 – INMATES 2 (Baptist Bowl): Cano hit a pair of taters off of Salazar and Lynn pitched 8 2/3 for the easy FFT win.
INMATES 6 – FFTS 4 (Baptist Bowl): Castro hit a three-run HR in the 6th for the final Inmate runs. An FFT rally in the 8th fell short; Ramos picked up the save for the Beakless Chicken Gang.
INMATES 5 – FFTS 2 (The Grove): The Inmates hit solo homers by Cargo, Cespedes, and Rizzo to put the game away. Salazar inhaled a little less vociferously to pick up the win.
FFTS 3 – INMATES 2 (The Grove): A pitcher’s duel between Samardzija and Pineda. JD Martinez hit a two-run spud in the 2nd for all of the Inmate runs. Warren picked up the save for the FFTs.
INMATES 3 – FFTS 1 (Baptist Bowl): Another quasi-pitcher’s duel. Jones and Suarez hit back-to-back HRs for the Inmates in the 5th for all of the LDMF scoring. Chen took it on the chin for a loss. Or maybe it was Chin took it on the Chen. Whatever.
FFTS 9 – INMATES 2 (Baptist Bowl): Collin McHugh allowed nine runs on sixteen hits in another of his usual effective starts. Only Wieters avoided the hitfest among FFT starters, going 0-5. Samardzija K’d twelve in 8 1/3 for the easy win.
FFTS 6 – INMATES 2 (The Grove): McHugh once again self-imolated, allowing taters to Pederson and Realmuto, to continue his year-long suck-O-rama. Lynn got the easy W for the FFTs.
INMATES 6 – FFTS 3 (The Grove): Reddick hit two HRs for the FFTs but Chen did his best McHugh imitation and allowed homers to Rosario, Suarez, and Lawrie as the Inmates managed to finagle a win.
INMATES 3 – FFTS 1 (The Grove): Solo homers by Cargo, Rizzo, Valbuena, and Realmuto accounted for all of the scoring in this snoozer.

Warpigs 3, FFTs 1
Via TeamViewer. All games at The BallPork.
May 30 - Game 1 of Double Header - Warpigs win 7-6 in 12 innings. In the opening game of the Memorial Day Double Header, the Warpigs came from behind to win their 4th straight against the FFTs this season. Errors by Michael Wacha and Prince Fielder led to 4 unearned runs by the FFTs in the 4th inning, but the Warpigs scored 3 in the bottom of the 4th to get within 1. Lorenzo Cain doubled in A.J. Pollock in the 8th inning to tie the game. Then in the 12th, Ian Kinsler delivered the walk-off hit, singling in Yadier Molina. Darren O'Day (1-1) got the win for his inning of work.
Between games of the double header, the Warpigs had their Ring Ceremony for their 2015 championship. Team captain Yadier Molina said, "It just made sense to have the ceremony today. There were 27 of the 30 members of last year's squad here today. 9 playing for us, 8 playing for them, and 10 who suck so bad they are out of baseball this year. We were only missing 3 guys."
May 30 - Game 2 of Double Header - Warpigs win 4-3. The FFTs scored 2 first inning runs, forcing the Warpigs to come from behind again. The Pigs scored 2 in the 2nd to tie the game, and in the 6th, Adeiny Hechevarria, A.J. Pollock, and Lorenzo Cain all hit doubles for the other 2 runs. Jake Peavy (5-2) got the win, and Pedro Strop earned his 8th save.
May 31 - Warpigs win 7-2. The FFTs again had a 2-run first inning, but that would be all they got. Jake Lamb blasted a 2-run homer, and Garrett Richards (6-3) settled down to go 6 innings for the win. Tyler Clippard went the final 3 innings for his 2nd save.
June 1 - FFTs win 3-1. Joc Pederson homered, J.T. Realmuto had 3 hits, and Delino Deshields twice plated runs with RBI base hits. John Lackey went 6 innings for the win. Jake Diekman, Sam Dyson, and Adam Warren each threw an inning, holding off any hopes the Pigs had of coming back for a 4th straight game.

Wahoos vs. Inmates played at the Baptist Bowl with cards and dice.

Tweeners 4, Nads 1
6/13 – Tweeners 3, Nads 2.
Felix Hernandez racked up an impressive total of 10 strikeouts at The Hoover
Dome as the NORM TWEENERS won in their last at-bat beating the DAVE NADS by
the count of 3 to 2.
The game was decided in the 9th inning. Nelson Cruz cracked a solo homerun
resulting in a mighty exciting win for NORM and the 47,274 home town fans in
attendance. Both teams totaled 8 hits on the night.
Andrew Chafin(2-2) allowed no runs in 2/3 of an inning, and picked up the
victory. Tony Sipp(1-4) was given the loss in relief. He pitched 1 and 2/3
innings allowing 1 hit and no walks.
6/14 – Nads 7, Tweeners 4. Brian Dozier blasted 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Kevin Jepsen came through
with a solid 3 innings as the DAVE NADS defeated the NORM TWEENERS in 13
innings by the score of 7 to 4 at The Hoover Dome.
The score was knotted at 4 after nine innings. DAVE ended up winning it in
the 13th inning. After an out was recorded, Ben Revere keyed the rally when
he lined a one-base hit. Revere stole second with some aggressive base
running. Adrian Gonzalez then reached on an error resulting in a run. Todd
Frazier followed, but he was set down on strikes. Dozier came up to bat and
bombed a two-run dinger. DAVE had a total of 10 hits for the game.
The win was credited to Jepsen(2-2) who went 3 innings allowing no runs.
Carson Smith(1-3) ended up with the loss in relief. He was a hard-luck
loser, pitching 2 and 2/3 innings and not allowing an earned run.
6/15 – Tweeners 4, Nads 0. Madison Bumgarner went 8 and one third strong innings and Nelson Cruz slammed
a homerun and had 2 RBI at The Hoover Dome as the NORM TWEENERS beat the DAVE
NADS 4 to 0.
NORM delivered all the runs required in the 4th inning scoring 4 runners on 4
hits. The critical plate appearance was by Cruz who came through for the
home fans when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run. After
the 4th inning, neither team was able to score.
The win was credited to Bumgarner(5-3) who went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing no
runs. Mike Fiers(4-4) was the losing pitcher. He was stingy with the
baserunners, allowing just 6 hits and no walks in 8 innings.
8/27 – Tweeners 3, Nads 2. Josh Phegley knocked 2 homeruns at The Hoover Dome as the NORM TWEENERS beat
the DAVE NADS by the count of 3 to 2.
The game was won by NORM with a run in the 8th inning. After an out was
recorded, Phegley delivered a solo blast. NORM had 9 hits overall, while
DAVE had 6.
Carson Smith(2-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 2/3 of an inning and
allowing no runs. Fernando Rodriguez earned his 1st save. Jared Hughes(0-2)
ended up with the loss in relief.
8/28 – Tweeners 5, Nads 3. In a thriling finish the NORM TWEENERS pulled off the win over the DAVE NADS
by a score of 5 to 3 at The Hoover Dome.
NORM had the winning rally in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs. Zack Cozart led
off and got things going when he was hit by a pitch. Ben Zobrist stepped up
next and he bombed a two-run dinger giving NORM the win and sending the home
town fans into a frenzy. NORM finished with just 6 hits in the victory.
Andrew Chafin(3-2) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. Keone
Kela(1-1) suffered the loss in relief. He allowed 2 hits and 1 walk in 2 and
2/3 innings.

Inmates 5, Nads 2
Inmates 5 – Nads 2. All games at the Baptist Bowl via CM.
INMATES 5 – NADS 4: Cargo hit two of the four Inmate taters to lead the Beakless Chicken Gang. Tillman pitched a CG to take one for the team for the Wrinkled Pink.
INMATES 5 – NADS 4: The Nads scored everything in the 4th inning off of T. Ross but couldn’t hang on. Suarez hit a two-run spud in the 7th to give the Inmates the lead and chase Wilson. Both teams managed only six hits.
INMATES 4 – NADS 2: Both teams tallied only five hits each, but the Inmates out-homered the Nads 2-1. Fiers pitched well but not as well as Salazar. The Inmates sweep the first series.
NADS 1 – LDMF 0: The return of the LDMF coincided with the expanded rosters of late September. Tillman and Rondon combined on a three-hitter. T. Ross pitched well, K’ing 10 in six innings, but took the loss.
NADS 5 – LDMF 1: The LDMF increased their hit total to four and scored an unearned run but the Nads dominated. Frazier hit two HRS.
INMATES 9 – NADS 8: Calhoun hit three homers and drove in six runs, but a JD Martinez solo tater ended the game in walk-off fashion with one out in the bottom of the 9th. The big hit for the Inmates was actually Suarez’s pinch three-run homer in the 8th inning that tied the game.
INMATES 2 – NADS 1: Three solo homers were all of the scoring in this one – Dozier for the Nads, Martinez and Castro for the Inmates. Otherwise, great pitching and ineffective hitting as the Inmates and Nads close out their season series.
