WEEK 1 RECAP:
LIGHTS OUT

An off season highlighted by stud free agent signings doesn’t always translate into on field success and 1 game is far from a large enough sample size to judge a team, however the positive signs during the season opener can’t be ignored.

IMPRESSIVE DEBUTS

The newest 88s didn’t waste any time showing off their talent.

Naomi started off her 88s career with a hit, RBI and a run scored in her first plate appearance.

Kylie showcased her versatile defense in the field while knocking 3 hits and 2 RBI at the plate.

Tim left us in stitches and awe with a foul out to the catcher and a deep bomb to the left field fence.

Jordan (technically a rookie), sent one off the top of the fence in center field as part of his 4 hit night.

VETS DELIVER

Several returners mixed perfectly with the rookie’s stand out performances.

John blasted an opposite field home run over the fence while batting a perfect 5/5 with 4 runs and 5 RBI.

Marnie’s apparent off season steroid habit led to 4 hits and 4 runs.

Joce picked up where she left off in her 2024 MVP season with 4 hits and 4 runs of her own while playing a couple flawless innings at 3B.

Jes pitched beautifully (only let in 2 runs over 3 innings) and used her recovering quads to leg out 3 hits, 4 runs and 3 RBI.

BURYING THE LEAD(OFF)

The play of the night may have come before the first pitch was thrown when Jeff valiantly filled in at the last minute to give the squad their 10 players.

He could’ve gone 0/5 with three errors and still been a contributor yet he exceeded expectations by leading off the game with a stand up double and closing out the game with two innings of solid pitching.

EXTRA BITS

The field lights went out during the top of the 3rd, causing a 15 minute delay. During which Maddy rounded the bases in an impressive 15 seconds.

88s hit the jackpot with 7/7/7 during the first 3 innings.

John and Myles saved a mutant moth with a death wish.

Brian score kept a perfect complete game.

WHAT THE TEAM NAME MEANS

Much like the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA being named after the year America declared their independence (1776), the 88s name comes from the year 1788 when an original settlement of empire loyalists escaping the American revolution arrived in the area now known as the City of Welland.
