GARRISON CREEK GAMMA RAYS STUNNED (0-1-0)
The Gamma Rays played only one of the two weeks, sitting out to recharge in Week 4, but in their only game during the round up, they played an exhilarating back-and-forth matchup against the [Moulin] Rouge River Riff Raff! The Riff Raff stunned the Gamma Rays dropping the greens by a score of 15-14. However, there were some notable highlights from Gamma Ray players including Kirsten Dick and Andy Smith who both clubbed home runs and contributions from rookies Gab Laurence, Ruthie Titus, Soren D’Alimonte, and Chris Yates. Samira Banihashemi and Jo Jefferson debuted on the season – and Nat Saavedra, Lainie Basman, Victoria Barnett, and LJ Robinson were electric in the field.

But in Week 4 they orbited the Humber River Hype in a sky-high affair. Led by stellar defence and hits that landed in all corners of the galaxy, Credit River burst out to a 17-5 lead before crash landing in the 4th inning when faced with a 9 run rally by the Hype. But the Cosmonauts, like Sandra Bullock in the 2013 hit Gravity, hung on for dear life, and came away with an 18-14 victory. Special mention to Annelies Cooper who played excellent defence at first base in the last inning, to rookies Seb Higgins and Kat Kleine who circled the bases at warp speed, to veteran Darren Puscas who made his 2022 Credit River debut, and to Jenny Chan who once again sported their famous double zero “00” jersey!
