Game 1 - On a beautiful evening, a slow pitch game was played and it might be one for the record books. The game was over by 5:52 pm with the Bumper to Bumper Blue Jays edging Juggies by a score of 2 to 0. Yes, that is correct! A slow pitch game with a World Cup of soccer score. Great defense throughout the game with great catches in the outfield and a few double plays in the infield.
As for offensive highlites and there are not many, Jim Noon and Dale Wood reached first with their only at bat for Juggies. For the Jays, Andy Christie was 2-2 and Kerry Buss hit a single with his only at bat. A well pitched game by Tom Baker for the Jays and Jim Dulle and Jamie White for Juggies.

Game 3 - The night wrapped up with the Juggies Pub Brewers hosting the Logos Rebels, and the early innings belonged entirely to the home side. The Brewers came out swinging, jumping ahead 6–0 after two complete.
But the Rebels found their spark in the third and fourth, putting up 5 runs in each frame to flip the momentum. The Brewers managed a single run in both of their halves, and after four innings the Rebels held a 10–8 lead. The Brewers chipped one more across in the fifth to make it 10–9, keeping things tight heading into the final stretch.
The opening inning proved to be the difference-maker, though. The Rebels erupted for 8 runs and then shut the door defensively, holding the Brewers scoreless to seal an 18–9 victory.
Even though the Rebels always pride themselves on team play, this one featured a standout performance from Paul King, who went a perfect 4-for-4, ripped a triple, and made four excellent catches at rover. A night to remember.
A big thank-you to Jeff and Darlene upstairs, and to Redi for handling kitchen and umpiring duties. The Rebels also extend their appreciation to Ron Jarvis from the Garage Pub and Blair Hennes from Station Coffee for stepping in to help fill out the Logos roster.
