Game 1 - Well what a beautiful night for a ballgame between Elmer & Harold’s Astros and the Mikes Meats Meateors. The Meateors started off getting off to a lead, lead by all the pick ups that the Meatballs needed to field a team. Then the Astros never let up and kept it close and just about came back to beat the Meateors. With the top of the seventh the Astros came within 3 runs to make it close.
The coach of the Meateors just about had to pull his 3rd string pitcher from the jaws of a big loss, but Don Hallberg prevailed and the Meateors could now take a deep breath. The pick ups for the Meateors carried the load with scoring 10 out of 12 runs scored. Subs were Darren Heinz, Gregg Martin, Dan Hamilton, Kasey Valkenberg and Todd Kopec. Final score 12-9 for the Meateors.

Game 2 - In a game that lacked scoring the Morrison Mavericks scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning to escape with a 9 - 7 win over Juggie's Tap House. Over two innings Juggies had built a sizeable 7 - 1 lead but the Mavs matched a five-run inning in the third to close the gap to 6 - 7.
Tight defense by both teams held that score until the final frame. Juggie's fought back gamely in their last at bat and had the tying runs on base. A desperate game-ending double play by the Mavs snuffed out the rally. Kasey Valkenburg led Juggie's offensively, hitting three singles. For the Mavericks John Engel homered, doubled and singled while scoring two runs.
Game 3 - On a warm and buggy night at Lorne Holden Field the Red Sox took on the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes. After falling behind 1-0 the Red Sox came alive in the fourth inning and went on to a 9-2 victory.
Leading the way for the Red Sox Darrel Maser went 3/3 and a walk, Garth Starks had 2 walks and a hit, Lance Knodel went 2/4 and put in another outstanding defensive performance, Boyd Hamm went 3/4 and Glen Ebel went 2/3. The rest of the team performed well in securing the victory. For the Silver Foxes Todd Kopec went 3/3 and Darcy Harty went 2/3. We were all glad to see Randy Wuerfel back pitching again. Don Hallberg played well for the Red Sox as an A sub.
