The tournament went off without a hitch. For the first time in over a month, the sun shined on the weekend, making it a GREAT weekend to be wiffle balling. The Legends crew was surprised at both how competitive the pools were, and how close all of the games were. Of the 50 games played, only 2 were decided by the mercy rule. 14 were decided in the last at bat, and 25 were decided by 3 runs or less. There were 5 game ending walk-off home runs. Most of all, THANK YOU to the teams that joined us ! Thanks to my crew for helping get every thing ready. As I shared with many of you, on Wednesday our fields were mostly under water. Levi and I worked feverishly on Thurs. and Friday to get everything in order. Thanks to Tim Beavers for umpiring 7 games, and to John, Brent, Dave Page and Dave Fisher for umpiring multiple games thru out the day. The umpiring was very good, I heard lots of excellent reports and we know from experience how frustrating it can be to have an umpire who doesn't have a clue. The Clamdiggers beat PVB in the opening round of the Winner's Bracket. The Bulldogs came from behind late in the game to beat the Legends in the other WB game, and both the Clamdiggers and Bulldogs showed why they have been standard bearers at London and continue to be threats to win London.

The Yankees fell to the U in a pool game rematch reversal 3- 2, Blade Sharp fell to the Dirtybirds and the Tigers bead the Wildcats narrowly to finish the 1st round of the Loser's bracket. In the 2nd round of the Loser's Bracket the Dirtybirds beat the U and the Tigers beat GDE with a walk off HR by Adam. In the Loser's Bracket x2 the Yanks lost in a close game to Blade Sharp who went on to win the Loser's Bracket x2 by beating the Wildcats 17-7.
