Player & Team Highlights Sim #16
July 14th-July 20th
The UMEBA batters are getting a taste for this extra-innings walkoff lark. Four of this week’s 24 games went to extras and all four resulted in walkoffs, just a shame nobody could manage to finish it off in the bottom of the ninth
Outcomes
The first walkoff came on July 15th when Baghdad clashed with Beirut in the Ballpark of Beirut. The lead flip-flopped a couple of times during the game, but we arrived at the ninth inning with Beirut leading 4-3. Baghdad managed two hits before a wild pitch enabled the Kings to tie the game up and with nothing in the bottom half the game went to extras. Both teams got a base runner in the 10th but failed to take advantage. Baghdad got a batter to third and no further in the 11th while Beirut had a runner reach on an error but ended their innings on a doubleplay. On to the 12th and in the top of the innings Baghdad again got a runner to third but he was thrown out at the plate to end the innings by 1B Oliver Ruiz, playing in right field. Henry Waddell was on the mound in the bottom of the 12th and he managed to walk two of the first three batters. Antonio Valentin stepped up to the plate and was quickly up 3-0 as Waddell couldn’t find the strike zone. Valentin slapped the fourth pitch past second into the out field and that was all she wrote as Oliver Ruiz successfully went from second all the way home to give the Cedars a 5-4 win.
The 17th of July saw Jerusalem tussle with Bucharest in Romania again. Two runs in the top of the second gave the Hebrew Hammers a 2-1 lead but a run in the bottom half tied it at 2-2. Runs in the 4th and 6th saw the home team surge ahead 4-2 before runs in the top half of the 7th and 8th tied it up once more. Nothing doing in the ninth despite two Impalers reaching base so onwards into extras. A solo homer by Jose Ramirez had the visitors thinking they had won it, but we had half an innings to go yet. Robbie Cooke was on the mound and he allowed a single first off and the second man reached on an error. A single gave Bucharest a bases loaded situation when Fernando Renteria was up. When Cooke hit him, we had a 5-5 tie and with the bases still loaded & 0 outs the Hebrew Hammers chance of winning was fading fast. Cooke at least struck out the next batter but that was all for him, Ramon Vasquez taking the mound in relief. Unfortunately, two pitches later Primio Anastcia’s line drive flew past the shortstop and gave him his third walkoff shot, his first pimpoff.
On the 19th of July it was hits galore as Istanbul & Manama shared 32 hits equally between them in Bahrain. After three scoreless innings, the big bats broke out second time round the lineups and after six innings the score was 8-5 to the Pearls. Going into the top of the ninth the home team were leading 9-5, but the crowd went silent as Istanbul launched two 2-run bombs to tie the game. The 10th was a nothing doing innings for both teams, the 11th saw both teams going 1-2-3. The top of the 12th saw a runner reach on an error before a double drove him home, Manama weren’t done though, and a solo homer tied us up again at 10-10. It was back to 1-2-3 for Istanbul in the top of the 13th, so Claudio Escobedo took the mound for the Bosphorus trying to get us to a 14th innings. He gave up a single straight away and got the quick hook in favour of Nadir Akili. A bunt advanced the runner to second and a groundout got him over to third. From their it was a simple shot by Damien Mayne past second to bring the runner home for first Manama 200 proof walkoff.
The final walkoff of a busy week was on the final day when Manama had travelled round to Baghdad. Manama, obviously still on a high, took a 2-0 lead by the mid-point of the fifth before allowing three singles by Baghdad to plate two runs in the bottom of the fifth. Nobody could separate them then and so the Pearls headed into their second successive extra-innings game. This was quick though, a 1-2-3 Manama innings took us to the bottom of the 10th with Gilberto Tovar on the mound. A walk and a single got the Kings a runner on third with two out. Gilbert Hansen stepped in and hit a nubber almost straight back to the pitcher. Tovar couldn’t field it before Hansen reached first base and in the meantime the runner from third had scooted home to end the game.
