Spoilers start here.
First Inning
The Rippers’ Luke O’Brien would lead off with a drive to high center that was touched by Jolly Olive on the rebound resulting in a placement putt 7 feet from third base. The Story would respond on the next drive where a Ryan Cohen shot would go high right and then get caught by Jake Storiale for the first out. Later, like deja vu, Luke’s second drive would go to the ceiling bouncing off the back wall high and to the right and was touched by Zo Demalia, resulting in another place putt positioned 7 feet from home base. Ryan’s second drive would go to the left wall and caught by Lucas for the second out. The Rippers had two ducks.
Of all of the putts that have been made so far in this Golfball series, the place putts were very successful. Today was no different. Jack Doyle would sink the one from third and Joez made the putt to home base. The Rippers had two points.
Jake Storiale would lead off for The Story. His first drive would be a line drive towards center that was blocked by Luke O’Brien. Through the order and back to Jake. His second drive went high center and was also caught by Luke for the first out. Zo Demalia would make a drive low center and it landed on the green about 7 feet from third base. It was now up to Lucas D’Aversa to get a second duck or a hole in one to prevent The Rippers from scoring. His shot went to high center and on the rebound, Jake attempted to boop it. It landed on the green about 7 feet from home, but it was determined that Jake reached in to the field of play when attempting the boop and the duck did not count.
With only one duck, The Story could not push the inning and therefore, The Rippers would win the first inning.
The Rippers: Balls driven: 6 ~ Ducks puttable: 2 ~ Ducks earned: 2
The Story: Balls driven: 8 ~ Ducks puttable: 1 ~ Ducks earned: 0
Inning result: The Rippers
Second Inning
The second inning will start with The Rippers at the top of the lineup. Luke O’Brien’s drive would hit the ceiling and land short without touching the back wall. Jack Doyle’s first drive to high center would be caught by Jake Storiale for the first out. Luke’s second drive would go to high center and was touched by Jake on the rebound resulting in a place putt 7 feet from third. Jack would drive one to mid-center, reaching the green about 4 feet from home. Luke would sink his place putt to third base and Ryan Cohen would sink Jack’s green shot 4 feet on home base. The Rippers achieved two ducks.
In the bottom of the second, Jake Storiale’s first drive went mid center and edged the surface of the green. Then, The Story had back to back outs by Jolly Olive and Zo Demalia, both caught by Ryan Cohen.
With no Story ducks to show for, The Rippers would win the inning and the match.
The Rippers: Balls driven: 8 ~ Ducks puttable: 2 ~ Ducks earned: 2
The Story: Balls driven: 3 ~ Ducks puttable: 0 ~ Ducks earned: 0
Inning result: The Rippers
Of all of the games played so far in this series, this was definitely the most uneventful of the matches. The Rippers’ win was clean and fast. The Story goes even deeper into the cellar at 0-3 and The Rippers go to 2-1.
