Started playing our series at a little after seven, it
takes about 1/2 hour per game, and my alarm was set
for four for a 7:15 AM flight home. The Chicago
Champions were ten games up on .500, the Gamblers were
eight up, going into this nine game set. Chicago took
three out of the first four, then the Gamblers kicked
the Champs to make it 3-2 Good Guys. Dontrelle
Willis, Gambler Ace, was starting for Three Rivers, so
I matched him with our best Mark Buehrle. Buehrle no
hit the Gamblers, then Brett Myers posted a shutout,
22 straight shutout innings, before the Gamblers won
game #8, but the Champs put away the series 6-3 with a
win over the overmatched Kirk Rueter in the series
finale.
another * for buehrle.. it was the Gamblers. sorry capt will
6-3 series puts you in good spot for playoff contention, no?
We played this series out of order cuz I was in Pittsburgh and that’s where Captain Will lives. Have to play Nicky V’s Sluggers in July. Adding in all Champ games played to date, we’re 13 games over .500.
