Weeks 8-10 Round Up!

GARRISON CREEK GAMMA RAYS GO NUCLEAR! (1-1-0)

The Gamma Rays played two games and split the molecules! In Week 8 the Gamma Rays created a rainbow miracle come-from-behind victory to give the Moulin Rouge River Riff Raff their first loss of the season 13-12. In Week 10 a historic moon shot by sub Lucky Visvanathan was tracked down in one of the all-time great outfield catches in Field of Dreamers history by Yuri Gagarin Medal of Honour Winning Cosmonaut Darren Puscas – the Gamma Rays fell 13-12 to Credit River!

CREDIT RIVER COSMONAUTS BEGIN ORBIT (1-1-0)

The Cosmonauts also played two games over this span and also split their schedule. In Week 9 they torpedoed down from space and fell 15-3 to the Humber River Hype. In Week 10 using kick-saves via Annelies, mighty double plays, and Darren Puscas’ taking flight they were victorious against Garrison Creek by a score of 13-12!

[MOULIN] ROUGE RIVER RIFF RAFF GET SHUT DOWN (0-3-0)

The Riff Raff who began the season 5-0-0 had a hard three weeks where they lost all three of their games! In Week 8 they lost a heartbreaker pride game by a score of 13-12 against the Gamma Rays. In Week 9 they were overmatched by a strong Don squad and fell 12-9. In Week 10, they were shocked by a 10 run Hype final inning highlighted by a Corey Snelgrove grand slam to fall 14-13. Despite this slide, they remain in the top spot in the standings at 5-3-0!

DON RIVER GOIN’ GOIN’ DON! BLAST OFF (2-0-0)

The Don River squad had a fantastic three weeks going 2-0 in the games they played. The Goin’ Goin’ Dons showed out for a powerfest against the Humber River Hype during the Pride Game – winning 20-9. In Week 9 they continued their slugging by handing Rouge their second loss of the season with a 12-9 victory. Don River is looking like a team in ascent and the question will be – does it have enough to get out of the park?

THE HUMBER RIVER HYPE – GET A PITCHFORK BEST NEW MUSIC RATING (2-1-0)

Humber River played excellently in their three games during this period! After falling to Don River in a blowout Pride game 20-9, they performed fantastically in Week 9 to claim a 15-3 victory against Credit River and then also in Week 10 where they stunned the Moulin Rouge River Riff Raff! Humber is also surging up the charts and has closed the gap between the three teams ahead of them in the standings.
