The 33rd Tournament & Rain Delays!!

(With the hurricanes this year, the tournament truly became a fall classic, ending on Oct. 1st.)

Wet Fields

The Field Conditions...

Standing water everywhere! After a week of rain from the hurricane that stayed inland over the mid-Atlantic region and postponed the tournament for another week, the sun finally appeared and began drying out the standing water on the fields.

First Place

Defending and Repeat Champions: BALCO Bombers.

The defending champions, BALCO Bombers, advanced by several forfeit wins. But once the champions began playing on the final day, they won out by the ten-run mercy rule three games in a row!

Second Place

Runners-up: Showboats.

The Showboats returned to the Final Four this year, moving up from fourth last year to second place this year. Having tied in their group POD round, they won a tie-breaker play-in game early in the day and needed to play five games before falling to the defending champs BALCO Bombers.

Third Place

Third Place: Overdrafts.

Ranked just 15th, the Overdrafts moved into the Final Four round when last year's Third Place Yellow Journalists and this year's second seed GSPM Politricks both forfeited out of the rain-delayed competition. However, once the Overdrafts took the field, they battled the 5th ranked Runners-up Showboats into exra innings before losing 12-10.

Fourth Place

Fourth Place: A-Team.

The A-Team won two huge extra-inning upset games in the Group POD play knocking out the second seed Masters of Disaster to move into the final round of play. Rain delays also gave the A-Team two forfeit wins over the tenth seed ALEC and undefeated and number one seed SL Bees before the A-Team played competively and lost to the champion BALCO 18-3.
