Player & Team Highlights Sim #18
July 28th – August 3rd
Our slate of 24 games this week takes us into the penultimate month of the 2041 season. A lot of runs crossed the plate in the ninth, but few counted for the Walkoff Watch. Four games went into extra innings although only one resulted in a walkoff. Credit must go to Mumbai and Bucharest who managed to plate eight runs in two extra innings on July 30th but it wasn’t to be after five of those went to Mumbai in the top of the 11th. We did, however, manage two walkoffs in the first two days, both 200 Proof Walkoffs, while the extra innings walkoff came on the last day of the sim.
Outcomes
The first game of the week saw Manama visit Istanbul, both teams held the lead at one point, but the Pearls were 5-4 up as we went into the bottom of the eighth. First pitch of the innings saw Istanbul level the game by cranking the ball just inside the foul pole into the left field bleachers. Manama worked two walks in the top of the ninth but couldn’t get them home so Alistair Grieves took the mound aiming to get Manama to extra innings, it didn’t go to plan. Istanbul’s Arthur Norris connected with Grieves’ first pitch and made it a souvenir for someone in the deep leftfield stands, Grieves’ third walkoff run conceded.
The next day Bucharest were at Jerusalem with the Impalers yet to concede a walkoff. These two teams certainly know how to hit with a total of 36 hits in the game. Bucharest batted around in the top of the first, sending 11 to the plate and scoring 7 runs with five hits, thanks to a solo homer, a 2-run shot & a 3-run shot. Jerusalem can hit too though and while they only got a run in the third, the Hebrew Hammers added two 2-run homers in the fourth and four more runs off four hits in the fifth to give the home side a 9-7 lead. Bucharest fought back and by the middle of the eighth were back in front, by 10-9. The sixth homer of the game in the bottom half saw the game tied once more going into the final innings. Bucharest got things going in the ninth with a walk and a single, but Jerusalem induced them to hit into a double-play to end the top half of the innings. After Aaron Campbell gave up a single to the first batter in the bottom half he was yanked in favour of Armando Rasquilha. He struck out the next batter before a second single of the innings got a Hebrew Hammer in scoring position. A fly-out to shallow centre failed to advance the runners so down to the final out it was Terrence Mack in the batter’s box. Mack sent the third pitch high into centre where it dropped between the inrushing CF and the outrushing 2B leaving the runner from second more than enough time to make it home and hand Bucharest their first walkoff loss of 2041, with an 11-10 200 Proof walkoff.
Bucharest were to get revenge on the final day of the sim when they entertained Beirut. Both teams got a run in the first, the Cedars made it 4-1 in the top of the third before the Impalers came right back at them in the bottom half. Six hits by the home side including a 3-run bomb left them leading 6-4. Both sides dotted runs around but it took a determined effort by Beirut to score two runs in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 8-8 and send it to extras. In was 1-2-3 in the top of the 10th while Bucharest got a runner to second & third with two hits in the bottom half. A fly-out was proved not to be deep enough as the runner was thrown out at home by the centre fielder. On to the 11th we went, The Cedars managed a hit and he advanced on a pickoff throw error, but that was as good as it got. Beirut’s John Jefferson took the mound and a single and a walk left him staring at runners at second & first with only one out. Young Anastasio Diaz was the next to face Jefferson and after fouling off two pitches he poked the third well wide of first base. Bucharest was back on the right side of the walkoff trail as the runner scooted home from second to give them their eighth walkoff.
