A couple games from the 18th and 19th:

Wow. The Rattlers really thought they had this one after entering the 9th inning, they were up 7-4 and thought they had this one in hand. But a 3 run rally by the Sweets tied the game up in the top of the 9th and the Sweets were then able to win on a Kyle Seager double in the top of the 10th.

The Rainiers follow up on their win over the Miners with a 10-6 win over the Madmen. This was a win for the entire team - every one of the Rainiers had a hit with no one player outshining the team. 12 for 36 overall with another 4 walks. The Rainiers put this away in the 8th with a 4 run onslaught including two run scoring doubles.

Just to ensure that Kyle doesn't think I'm ignoring his games - the Rougarou take down the Blues n the first game of their series 4-2 and then the Blues stuck back with a 10-3 win in game 2. The Blues pitchers were quite good in these two, but it didn't matter in game 1 as the Rougarou's pitchers just were better. Game 2 was different - Carson Smith had 7 Ks over 6 IP and the Blues batters just teed off against Marquez and each of the Rougarou's 3 relief pitchers. In particular, the combo of Cooper, Bregman, and Muncy went 7 for 13 with 6 RBIs.

ACLs win two against the Bums 10-2 and 8-2. Obviously a super disappointing outcome for the ACLs.
