| Tournament #8.....Breaking down the Spud Fest Brackets--C division |
|
Well, a good run to the championship for BBS/Miken last weekend....Mr. Major League savvy must have had his game face on....good run boys. See, no reason to panic. Here we go..... First Round: Chatters/Moon Sports vs. Braham Lumber. Didn't get a chance to see Chatters in Albertville...seems like they didn't have a great weekend. Braham turned some heads last weekend by scoring a bunch of runs in Mound against some quality teams. I like bender43 and the Lumberyard to win this one, 17-10. BBS/Miken vs. Play it 2 Loud. Haven't really heard of Play it 2 Loud....I think they may have been in Albertville, not sure. BBS/Miken has hit their stride led by one of the top ASA pitchers in the state and they will continue to roll. This may get ugly early. I like BBS winning this one 23-8. Dean's/McPete's vs. MN Merchants. McPete's enters one of its 40 teams in Spud Fest, but the old scrappy Merchants can still hit it. I like the Merchants in this one, 18-9. Trails/Miken vs. Peter's Signs. Battle of a couple of CC teams in this one. Trails didn't have a great weekend in Albertville and they look to get back to their winning ways. I like Trails in a close one, 14-13. Quaterfinals: MN Building Contractors vs. Braham Lumber. Interesting match-up. MBC has new uni's this year and looking better. Braham and the Dahlman brothers will continue to hit in this one and beat up on the Contractors, 16-11. BBS/Miken vs. BWW/Sportsbleachers. This should be a great game. BWW/Sportsbleachers is a solid squad and will be primed for the upset. However, BBS/Miken is still rolling will be tough to be beat in this torunament. I like BBS, but it will be a close one, 21-18. MN Merchants vs. Easton/Rockets. Another interesting match-up. Old vs. Young. I see Robby and his upstart crew slapping the ball around the field to make the guys run. It will be close however, with the Rockets winning in the 7th, 17-16. Trails/Miken vs. Westwood/Connolly. This could go a number of ways, depends if Westwood brings their hitting sticks. I have seen them score 4 runs, but have seen them score 29. I think they will be ready to go and take this one, 20-9. Semi Finals: BBS/Miken vs. Braham Lumber. Major League savvy will implement the zone defense against the Dahlmans and shut them down. I see BBS rolling in this one, 23-7. Easton Rockets vs. Westwood. Again, this depends on Westwood's sticks, but they might use them up in the quaters. I like Eason/Rockets in this one, 18-12. Undefeated Game: BBS/Miken vs. Rockets. Do I need to keep going...we all get it by now, BBS rolls 21-13. Championship: BBS/Miken vs. Rockets....BBS again, makes 2 championships in 2 weeks, 23-16. Co-MVPs: Josh Thurow and Tom King Final Order of finish: 1) BBS/Miken 2) Easton/Rockets 3) BWW/Sportsbleachers 4) Braham Lumber Company 5/6) MN Merchants Westwood/Connolly |
