MCUDL A League

Tonight was the final regular season game of the summer and once again meant a battle for first place between Stick and Roots.

I managed to get to the fields on time today so I was able to get in a decent warm-up and some much needed throwing. My workouts have been great, but I'm hurting for a throwing partner these days. Anyway, tonight's game was a lot of fun. Lot's of aggressive, physical play from both teams kept the game interesting. In the early going, Stick was able to capitalize on several deep miscues by Roots and ended up cruising into half up 8-4.

As per usual, Roots showed nothing but heart and battled back in the second half. They fought to bring the game to within 1 at 11-10, but we were able to grind out a few long points in the dark to get two more breaks after regaining our offensive focus and took the game 15-11(12?).

Lots of fun. I'm looking forward to a finals re-match assuming both teams take care of business in the semis.
