| Bummy day for the Monstruos |
by Monster Mini Golf Monstruos (28+ Division)
|
| Coming into the day this game was supposed to be a battle of two of the elite teams in the SFBL, but what it turned into was an onslaught.
This was a true test for the MONSTUROS, as they could have taken sole possession of 1st place with a win, but flat out laid an egg. After a week of build for this game the MONSTUROS came out with no sense of urgency. They were flat from the get go and we're not ready for this game. The team combined for only a handful of hits. Which is rare for them as in almost every game they have had double digit hit totals.
Although the MONSTUROS didn't bring their A game they still were in it through the first 8 innings as it was 2 2 heading into the bottom of the 8th when the wheels started to fall off the wagon. With the bases loaded and 2 out manager Roberto Barrabes had A decision to make whether or not to leave his ace pitcher Dave Jimmian in the game with bases loaded. The Monstruo Coaching staff decided that they were going to win or lose with Jimmian, and left him on the bump. The clean up hitter for the bums ended up with a clutch 2 run single that started a 2 out rally to put the game out of reach. This is the MONSTUROS 2nd loss of the year, and they are looking forward to next time when they face the bums because they know they can play a lot better. Alec Sanchez after the game said In order to be champs. You gotta play like champs and we definitely played like chumps out there today not champs

| Bums Break Open 2-2 Game in the 8th inning |
by South Florida Beach Bums (28+ Division)

| What was billed as an SFBL pitchers’ duel lived up to the hype…at least through the first 7 innings. Going into Sunday’s game, David Jimmian (Monstoruos) and Michel Jordan (Bums) had combined for 52 strikeouts in only 23 shutout innings. Together they only allowed 4 total hits.
Earlier in the season the Bums handed MMG its only loss of the season but MMG was shorthanded and considered it a fluke. All week long there was friendly trash talk by MMG on Facebook and emails. With music and dancing in the dugout, they came into this week’s game very confident.
The tone was set early by the Bums when 2-time SFBL MVP Bo Diaz hit a 2-out first inning Home Run off of Jimmian.
A few innings later the Monstruous would tie game but Diaz would get another RBI hit to give the Bums a 2-1 lead.
Later in the game, the Monstruous tripled in a run to tie the game. A failed 2-out squeeze play ended the inning with the score tied.
The Bums broke it open in the bottom of the 8th inning when Nick Kempen’s two out bases loaded hit score two runs and gave the Bums a 4-2 lead. The Bums would add 5 more runs and take a 9-2 lead en route to the win.
Jordan was spectacular as he kept hitters off balance. He went the distance, throwing a complete game and recorded 12 K’s for his second win in as many games.
The music faded from the MMG dugout. It was quiet. The Bums showed that its earlier win this season was no fluke.
