Funny that you ask: We were just reminiscing over our favorite games from our last season. The consensus pick for most exciting game was a thriller between the Omaha Cyclones and the Canton Longshoremen. A 3-3 game heading into the 8th, Canton scored four times in the top of the frame to seemingly put things out of reach. Omaha answered right back with four in the bottom half to tie the game and send it to extras. Again Canton seemed to have iced it with two in the top of the 10th, and again Omaha answered by posting the same number in their portion of the inning. Canton wasted a brilliant opportunity in the 15th, stranding 3B David Bell (who had entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the 10th) after a lead-off triple.
If you want to see how it finished, have a look at the
box score. For a
much more colorful account of how things went down, check out the recap for the game:
Cyclones and Longshoremen Engage in Nail-Biter. An enjoyable read, and a pretty fantastic game as well.
The clinching Game 5 of our recently completed
Planetary Extreme Championship (scroll down for the box score and recap) was a pretty thrilling affair as well. An amazing, game-saving catch was the highlight here. A bunch of us were watching through Yugma (thanks for the tip, Fidel!) as the game was played out... when that catch was made everyone just went nuts. Great fun!
