There was some frustration on the part of the JK Inc. players,
but that did not deter them from a fierce rally in the bottom of
the fourth inning. They put themselves right back in what might
have seemed to be a blowout game scoring twenty runs in the
inning to close the gap quickly. “We knew it was early and we
know what they can do.” Said En Fuego Manager
Craig Watkins “We
new we just needed to keep hitting.”
After four innings and the score 25-21 with En Fuego hanging
onto a slim margin the game was measuring up to the hype. “You
couldn’t have asked for anything better. This was an epic
battle,” Said Watkins “One for all time.” Each time En Fuego and
JK Inc. had faced off in previous meetings the games were
intense, but this championship showdown had shaped up into a
classic.
When the game did not go as planned for JK Inc. tensions grew
and words were exchanged between some JK Inc. players and the
umpire as things didn’t go their way. This raised the level of
intensity even more as JK Inc. players and En Fuego players
began to exchange words. The umpire quickly put an end to that
warning both team’s managers that any further outbursts will not
be tolerated. En Fuego went on to score two more runs in the top of the fifth
to lead 27-21. They would hold JK Inc. scoreless in the bottom
of the fifth. Hanging onto their slim lead En Fuego would put up
another big rally in the top of the sixth inning. In what became
a close ballgame En Fuego would put an exclamation on their
championship victory. They banged out eleven hits in the inning
while scoring eleven runs to extend their lead to 38-21. |
