Boston Invite, Day 2

Due to Saturday's storm, we had to get to the fields to continue our SoL match-up at 8am. Ouch. Apparently we didn't drink quite enough coffee because we ended up falling behind 4-8 at halftime before mounting a second half comeback only to lose on double game point. No quarterfinals for Pike.

Round 2 pitted us against DoG. We came out strong and mounted 7-2 lead only to lose half 8-7 and the game 15-13. No 9th place either.

Round 3 was against my MCUDL buddies, Roots of Rhythm. They play fast and loose and bring it physically, so they always provide a fun and competitive game. In the end, our discipline and depth were too much and we took the game 15-8 or so.

In Round 4, we faced off against Mephisto. For the third time this weekend, we jumped all over them on the onset, taking half 8-2. Sadly, more than our share of unforced errors saw us cough up the lead down the stretch and we ended up losing 15-13, which I think put us in 12th place.

Personally, I felt much better physically and played much better, although I still had a couple of throws that got D'd (one each in the SoL game and the Roots game) and even a drop (down the stretch vs. DoG) which just isn't going to cut it. Overall, I'd give myself about a B- on the weekend.
