Player & Team Highlights Sim #24
September 8th- September 14th
With the UMEBA teams well into the final push for the post season it was no surprise that some of this week’s 24 games were a bit tighter than normal. Although teams again tried to get it done early Mumbai had to wait until the top of the ninth at Istanbul on the 13th to secure their win. Four games did eventually result in walkoffs, a heavy tally for this season’s UMEBA, and two of those went down to the wire as the home side walked off in extra innings, the only two extra innings games this week. If there was a Goats of the Week trophy it would certainly be held by slumping Beirut who were on the wrong end of three of the week’s four walkoffs and now have fallen in the bottom of the final innings four times in the first two weeks of September. Nerves kicking in as they attempt to stay ahead of Jerusalem?
Outcomes
The week’s first walkoff came on Sunday the 8th as Beirut strode into Manama. Having traded two runs each in the first innings Beirut looked to have won it with a sixth innings run. Manama weren’t going quietly though an a bottom of the ninth homer got the Pearls to extras. The 10th saw Beirut unable to get either of their two base runners home while the home side went quietly 1-2-3. The 11th saw both sides get a man on base . . and both sides fail to plate him. In the 12th the Cedars stranded yet another runner in the top of the innings while the Pearls had another disappointing 1-2-3 failure. Seven pitches in the top of the 13th was all it took to get rid of Beirut and Befikadu Aygeman took the mound attempting to extend the game further. One out, one on was the tally when he was relieved by Norberto Linares. He put the second runner on base before getting the second out. Slugging rightfielder Laurent Fernandez stepped up to the plate and worked the count full. Aygeman stared hard, shook the catcher off three times, and hurled to payoff pitch in. In a flash of wood Fernandez’s bat whirled and connected, he had just launched his 34th homer of the season. A three-run shot that provided a 6-3 win for the Pearls.
On Wednesday 11th the Cedars had shuffled over to Istanbul. Again, it was an explosive first innings with Beirut coming out 3-2 ahead. That lead was up to 6-3 after five, but then the Bosphorus got going. Two runs in the sixth closed the deficit and Istanbul tied it at six in the seventh. Everyone went shy then and we arrived at the bottom of the ninth with only one further hit. Jose Carrillo, after sitting down the Bosphorus 1-2-3 in the eighth started the ninth. He finished off the first batter no problem but hit the second. That was enough for him and Gilg Winkel took his place on the mound. It was all unravelling then as Winkel walked the bases loaded. Patrick Lue stepped in as a pinch hitter and on a 2-1 count dumped the ball between the inrushing left fielder and the outrushing shortstop. The ball hit the turf and the runner at third glided home to hand Beirut their second walkoff defeat of the week.
On the 13th in a game which didn’t feature Beirut being walked off, Jerusalem went to surging Manama. Three runs in the third set the Pearls off to a flyer and made it 4-0 in the seventh. The Cedars opened their account in the eighth and a three-run bomb by Terrance Mack in the top of the ninth tied the game and had the away dugout whooping. Brian Soper sprinted to the mound in the bottom half of the innings to try and take the Hebrew Hammers to extras. Soper did get his second batter faced to fly out to centre, but by the time Jeff Melton came to bat Manama had runners at first & second with still just the one out. Melton took the first pitch low & away before hitting the next pitch back up the middle into left centre past the shortstop’s despairing dive. With a turn of speed, the runner from second turned on the afterburners and left the centrefielder with no play as he sprinted across the plate. Manama had gained another vital win in their bid for the BURT wildcard.
Finally, on the last day of the week Beirut continued their road trip into Baghdad. The Kings led 3-1 after one and 4-2 after three. Beirut had it tied at 4-4 by the middle of the eighth. Baghdad couldn’t do anything with a single in the bottom of the eighth and both sides were sat down 1-2-3 in the ninth innings. The Cedars thought they had it when they loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the 10th, but the Kings’ leftfielder ended the threat throwing out the runner at home as he attempted to stretch out the go ahead run. The bottom of the 10th produced nothing and the top of the 11th was just a walk & stolen base for Beirut. In the bottom of the 11th John Jefferson induced the first two batters he faced to ground out but the third knocked it past first to get the winning run on base. Vincent Bonin dug-in and took the first pitch for a ball allowing the runner to steal second without a throw. The second pitch of the AB Bonin sent it deep out toward centrefield, it wasn’t deep enough for the CF to get the final out though, it dropped just in front of him and the runner from second cruised all the way home. Beirut’s players were staring in disbelief as they suffered their third walkoff of the week and Jefferson’s third walkoff conceded in 2041.
