GARRISON CREEK GAMMA RAYS GO NUCLEAR! (3-0-0)

The Gamma Rays played three games this week and won them all! In Week 5 the cosmos aligned as they snuck past the Credit River Cosmonauts thanks to an 8 run 5th inning to win 18-17. In Week 6 they pew pew pewed hits across the diamond that stunned the Humber River Hype – with a 15-12 victory. In Week 7 they showed their electromagnetic force slugging past the Don River Goin’ Goin’ Dons! by a score of 16-10. Maybe most notably, the Instagram video of Gamma Ray Nat Saavedra cranking a home run went moderately viral on our Field of Dreamers account. All round an excellent fortnight for the green goblins of planet gamma!

CREDIT RIVER COSMONAUTS CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHO HOUSTON THINKS HAS A PROBLEM (0-3-0)

The Cosmonauts also played three games over this span, but fell in all three of them. In Week 5 they crashed after launching to a massive lead against the Gamma Rays, falling by a score of 18-17. In Week 6 they tried to be Guardians of the Galaxy but weren’t able to save the planet from the Goin’ Goin’ Dons dropping a heartbreaker 16-15. In Week 7 they stalled mid-space and nearly pulled off the secret “Hot 10” plan but came up only with a “Scorching 8” to fall to the Moulin Rouge River Riff Raff 20-18. The Cosmonauts, however, continue to have the oddest record in the league at 1-5 with only a -2 run differential. Once they get ahold of Major Tom or Rocket Man they should be able to right the ship!

[MOULIN] ROUGE RIVER RIFF RAFF CONTINUE THEIR MEDLEY OF WINS (2-0-0)

The Riff Raff rambled are now 5-0 to start the season thanks to two more convincing wins! In Week 5, they sache’d, dipped, and spun themselves around the bases to convincingly defeat the Humber River Hype 16-8! In Week 6 they sat out to refresh themselves and to learn their lines for the next Baz Lurhman show. In Week 7, they were back to work, stomping the Credit River Cosmonauts with precise hits and passionate play! Rouge River is vying to bring home a 4th championship in 5 seasons and declare themselves a dynasty!

DON RIVER GOIN’ GOIN’ DON! SWING BIG (1-1-0)

The Don River squad had a rest in Week 5 to heal up some injuries and to secure subs for the weeks ahead. In Week 6, the Goin’ Goin’ Dons! looked fresh and loaded and they cashed in on baked potatoes a few times to defeat the Credit River Cosmonauts 16-15. In Week 7, however, Don River’s fly balls were stopped at the warning track as the Garrison Creek Gamma Rays shot down all potential missiles! Don went down to defeat 16-10. Despite the 1-1 record, Don River continues to shine on the field, making baseball with the best of them!

THE HUMBER RIVER HYPE FALL FROM THE TOP OF THE CHARTS (0-2-0)

Humber River played excellently in their two games during this period but weren’t able to keep pace with the scorching hot Moulin Rouge River team! In Week 5, despite some peppy play, they were outmatched by Rouge River by a score of 16-8. In Week 6, they faced off against the Gamma Rays of Garrison, but again saw the Hype they were creating fall a little short of going viral with a 15-12 loss. Despite these two set-backs, Humber River continues to scratch and claw in the standings and don’t be surprised if they win some serious Album of the Year honours to match the hype they’ve already built!
