6-Pack Fun, Vol. 5: Games

Coffee Time
by Carl Coffee

This is the toughest list for me, but I will try and rank the six most memorable games in WSEM history. Obviously, most of these games I have either played in or watched, so I apologize if I missed any good ones.

6.   8/10/2013   All-Star Game
What started as a boring pitcher’s duel, turned into a very exciting game. Ryan Alexia’s peg of Evan Bortmas as he was a 1/2 step away from winning for Ringler ended up being the boost the Garcia team needed, as they were able to win the 8 inning affair 3-0.


5.   4/29/2011   Mattseals @ Commandos
The first game in WSEM history is one to remember. Joe Seto belted four home runs (including the first in WSEM history) and had 10 RBIs, as the Commandos easily won 13-3.


4.   7/29/2012   Belgian @ Mattseals
This 23 inning marathon set records that will probably never be broken. Tomlinson had ten hits, Chandler had 53 strike outs, and everyone watching fell asleep.


3.   5/5/2012   Donkeys @ Wicked Aces
This is the only game on the list that I wasn’t at, but the legend of Joe Seto once again made this game standout. His solo HR off of Austin Bischoff broke all of the laws of physics, but we also can’t forget about Shore’s shutout performance on the mound en route to a Donkeys 1-0 upset.


2.   7/30/2011   Game 4:   DeLoppes @ Squirrels
This is my favorite game that I played in, so it gets the #2 spot. The Squirrels down 2-1 in the best of 5 semifinals series had to win to keep their season alive. Austin Bischoff went toe to toe with Cliff Comstock, and the Squirrels won 1-0 in 12 innings.


1.   8/4/2013   Game 1:   Westside @ Wicked Aces
Everyone knew Sam Hatt vs. Austin Bischoff would be something special to watch, but no one predicted the game would end the way it did. Down 1-0 with two outs and a runner on, Joel Crozier hit a walkoff 2-run homer to win the game for the Aces.
