The Breakdowns: Rob Scirocco, Swilly, Jimmy O’Brien, Lou Dab
Spoilers start here.
First inning
The Freezers will lead off with BBD who hits high center and the ball is caught by Jimmy O’Brien for the first out. Three drives later, Dalton Feely will slice a shot far to the right, hitting the inner fence and staying outside of the field of play. On the redo shot, he would hit low center and the ball would be blocked by Rob Scirocco. BBD’s second drive would go high center and get caught by Rob. The Freezers get no ducks in the first inning.
On the second drive for The Breakdowns, Swilly would hit the right side wall and then the back wall mid right and lands a shot on the green, 6 feet from second base. Two drives later, Lou Dab would hit a shot that was caught by BBD. The replay showed that the ball actually touched the ground on the runway (the green strip between the tee and the opening to the green) and therefore was not considered an out. Rob Scirocco would then hit a drive to high right center which was caught by Shelfy for the first out. Next drive, Swilly hits one to the ceiling and then to high right, reaching the green and stopping just short of 4 feet from first base. Jimmy O’Brien would finish the driving session with a ball to high center, caught by BBD to record the second out.
Taking Swilly’s putt, 3 feet and 11 inches from first base, Lou Dab would putt and it was too light, coming inches short of the hole. Rob would take the two-putt for the duck. Breakdowns win the first inning.
The Freezers: Balls driven: 5 (+1 redo) ~ Ducks puttable: 0 ~ Ducks earned: 0
The Breakdowns: Balls driven: 7 ~ Ducks puttable: 2 ~ Ducks earned: 1 (to win)
Inning result: The Breakdowns
Second Inning
Breakdowns start this time. Swilly’s lead-off went to mid left and got caught by the TV coming short of the green on the rebound. Jimmy would hit one to the ceiling off “the devastator” (the red roof support beam). It would still hit the back wall and then rebound to the green about 3 feet from first base. Lou Dab’s first drive went very low and to the right and was blocked by the tree on the fly. Rob’s first drive would go to high center and make a really nice roll on the green getting the ball to about one a half feet from home base. Jimmy’s second drive went mid right and was caught by BBD for the first. Lou Dab did deja vu where his second drive hit the same tree as the first time. This time it was hit so hard, the tree fell over. Rob Scirocco was the 8th drive and hit one high center and edged the green surface. Breakdowns get two ducks to work.
Swilly went for the duck near home base and Jimmy went for the one about 3 1/2 feet from first base. Both putts were successfully made the Breakdowns get two ducks.
The Freezers were uneventful until the sixth drive when Dan Rourke popped up to the right and the ball was caught by Lou Dab for the first out. Dalton Feely and BBD would make successful duck shots to 1 foot from home base and 3 1/2 feet from third base, respectively.
Shelfy’s putt on home base and Dan Rourke’s putt on third base were both successful. The inning is a push.
The Breakdowns: Balls driven: 8 ~ Ducks puttable: 2 ~ Ducks earned: 2
The Freezers: Balls driven: 8 ~ Ducks puttable: 2 ~ Ducks earned: 2
Inning result: Push
Third Inning
This inning would start with Dalton Feely hitting right. The ball would bound off the heater and is touched by Swilly on the rebound. It was called a place putt. This is due to a ground rule that the heater, which is located on an angle between the back and right walls and does protrude about 3 feet is considered as part of the back wall. Back in the second inning, Jimmy’s drive that was caught by BBD also made contact with the heater. The ball was placed 7 feet from third base. BBD and Dan Rourke would both record outs caught by Rob Scirocco.
Dalton Feely would then sink his own placed putt and The Freezers get one duck.
Bottom of the third, Lou Dab’s drive goes low and to the left (at least this time not into a tree), it hit very softly and stayed on the ground edging the back wall. Rob Scirocco would hit a drive to the ceiling and then the right part of the back wall. It would land on the green 3 1/2 feet from first base. Swilly, who is turning out to be Michi’s MVP for this tournament so far hits one mid center and it lands on the green stopping about 7 feet from home. Jimmy then hits a very careless shot that went pretty much nowhere. It just stayed on the green. Jimmy would then declare for The Breakdowns. This means that they would give up all remaining drives and putt with what they had.
On Rob’s drive near first base, Lou Dab would attempt a putt. The putt veered slightly off to the left. Rob Scirocco would then gimme putt it in for the point. Because there was no way that The Freezers could now win the game in regulation, The Breakdowns were declared the winners.
The Freezers: Balls driven: 4 ~ Ducks puttable: 1 ~ Ducks earned: 1
The Breakdowns: Balls driven: 4 ~ Ducks puttable: 2 ~ Ducks earned: 1 (to win)
Inning result: Push (Breakdowns win due to having a lead score at the end of regulation).
This had us confused at first because the rules were originally announced that “the first team to reach two innings is the winner”. The difference between this game and games 2 & 4 was that in those games, both teams were tied at the end of regulation. In this case, The Breakdowns were up 1-0 at the end of regulation.
