Barbarians 11 - GEA 6
Barbarians continue to pull the proper strings, and are building confidence for a second championship run. GEA, although highly competitive on the season and in the game, drop another tough game and remain a notch below the upper echilon teams in the NSL.
Gulls 9- Galaxy 0
The Gulls put it on a struggling Galaxy team who were blanked by D. Barile, who is having a career year. Galaxy has know gone 14 innings without a run. The Gulls are really putting it all together during their recent win streak.
NFL 5- Knights 4
The Knights let another mental lapse on defense cost them another close game to the undefeated NFL. Clinging to a 4-2 lead, held up by a masterful effort by the P. O'Leary on the bump, the Knights had an infield error followed by an outfield error with two out lead to two runs and a tie ballgame. The Knights had runners on second and third in the top of the eight with one out and a weak line drive followed by a tailing liner to right left them with nothing. A leadoff double by J. Osborne followed by a B. Brown walk allowed C. Alessi to smash O'Leary's first offering to the gap in left-center for the walk-off.
GEA 15 - OB LAND 5
GEA in a blowout, no shocker here. GEA misteriously has reloaded mid-season and looks sharp. OB LAND looks to avoid a second straight no-win season and possible ouster from the league.
Barbarians 23 - Lynn 5
Lynn lost their starting pitcher at the beginning of the game, who went down with a pinky toe injury. J. Maggs stepped up in his abscence, but couldn't silence the powerful Barbarian lineup. In the top of the fifth inning, a line drive shot came off the bat of one of the women at the adjacent field and towards Lynn's right fielder. The Lynn player turned around, made a great backhand play and tossed the would-be homerun back in play. The women of the Nahant Women's Softball League let him have it. The Lynn player was surrounded in a mere seconds, and got whipped with 10" black dildos until the men's league umpires could break up the scuffle. Bruised and battered, the right fielder stayed in the game, but the Barbarians were to much for a short-handed Lynn squad.
NFL 8 - Gulls 6
A great game between two quality clubs, was lost on errors. NFL squeeks out another close one to remain undefeated. NFL continues to get all the breaks and can finally see the light at the end of the undefeated season tunnel. A question has risen on whether or not its luck, or a ball club, in a certain slow pitch softball era, that is playing the type of softball to be successful in this era. The Gulls, playing really good ball of late, lose a heartbreaker. If the Gulls can tighten up a few loose ends they could be a contender.
GEA 14 - Knights 3
The Knights squad, coming off a three day long bender on the island had trouble even making it down to the field on the monday after independence day, and GEA put a thrashing on the vombies that showed up at Lowlands field. The Knights jumped on board first with a two-run top of the first, but it was very short lived. A B. Guptill grand salami in the bottom with two outs put GEA out in front 6-2 and they never looked back. The lone umpire botched a call in the third inning, a ball that was clearly caught by Knights right fielder C. Doucette. Doucette bobbled the can of corn around in his big frying pan mit, but eventually held on. The umpire went blind in his left, and brown eye at the exact moment Doucette made contact with the ball, and called it a drop. P. Stubblefield threatened to kick the umpire right in his recently deemed useless brown eye, and was ejected from the game. It was a straight road all downhill from there for the Knights, who couldn't get anything going at the plate and fell to a surging GEA, 13-3. GEA made a new pickup out of the Swampscott farm system, a young talent who is said to be among the NCAA national leaders in home runs. It was unclear at the published time of this article whether or not it was a legal pickup and to whether or not the league has received payment for the late pickup.
Barbarians 6 - Galaxy 0
The Barbarians continued their surge toward a second straight championship with a one-sided beatdown of Galaxy, who has been struggling mightily as of late. The fifth straight day with temperatures reaching the ninetees had the Barbarians setting up a rehabilitation tent for their players adjacent to their dugout. Galaxy made a late pickup of their own, a 15-year veteran, T. Ragusa. Ragusa got his 1,000th hit and issued his 500th walk in the game, all the while pitching two scoreless innings in relief.
