Corbs surprised us a bit in giving the ball to Nick Maldonado in this afternoon’s elimination game, but the junior swingman did yeoman’s work in the 14-4 win over the German for a Whale’s Vagina Matadors.
Maldo’s final line:
7 & 2⁄3 IP 7 H 4 R 4 BB 5 K in 114 pitches (69 strikes, which... nice).
Beyond Maldo giving us all he had, the bats stayed hot, with 17 hits and 14 runs against a team throwing everyone in their bullpen and the kitchen sink at them.
The offensive stars of the game were 1) Dom Keegan (4-6, 1 2B, 4 RBI), 2) Parker Noland (3-5, 3 RBI), and 3) Enrique Shockwave (3-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI).
