After a fun filled Xoso season, six teams took the court last night to put it all on the line, trying to win it all.
Team AP came in with the top record (6-1-1) and earned a first round playoff "bye", along with D3: The Mighty Drunks (6-2).
The Bitchcakes had a rematch from the week before against "$". In last week's match, Askia sank shot after shot and kept "$" in the game until the end when the Bitchcakes prevailed 4-3. This time, the Bitchcakes went after him early and often, removing him from the game before he had a chance to sink the Ollie shot and release his team from the out queue. Bitchcakes won it, 6-3.
In the other early round matchup, Rice Crackers vs. Out Like a Fat Kid, the Rice Crackers avenged their regular season loss by winning 3-1.
In the semi-finals, the Bitchcakes went up against D3:The Mighty Drunks. Mario Perez was often the last man on the court, as he was in the first round. He sank yet another shot but it wasn't enough to bring the Bitchcakes the win, and D3 won 4-1.
The Rice Crackers and Team AP had a contentious round 2, in a slow paced game that went into the final game with the score tied 2-2. Team AP clinched the final game and their first spot in the finals.
In the championship match, D3 was looking to redeem themselves for their loss at Team AP's hands (5-3 in the 2nd week). Team AP came in fired up, and time again got D3 down to one player, usually Matt Decker. Decker is usually a good guy to have as the last player, and has made more than a couple Ollie shots. Team AP had a strategy (named Jeremy) for anyone shooting Ollie shots. Every shot Decker and D3 took, Jeremy soared along the baseline and above the rim to tip, block, and then catch the shot and therefore end the game.
Even still, D3 hung in there and, inspired by the San Francisco Giants rallying to beat the Phillies in the bottom of the 9th inning (a cheer from the players and spectators went up when it was announced), they rallied from down 4-3 to win the final game and force an extra game to decide the season.
Sure enough, in the extra game, it came down to Decker's Ollie shot. Unfortunately for him and D3, Jeremy of Team AP had enough left in the tank to jump and catch one last shot and clinch the Wednesday night dodgeball championship for Team AP!
Congratulations Team AP, D3, and the rest of the Wednesday night crew for a great, fun season!
