WEEK 13 RECAP:
HEROINES

With the 88s iron woman and reigning MVP busy being a hero elsewhere; the remaining ladies donned their capes to keep the 88s safe.

Jes filled the power vacuum beautifully by crushing a liner to the fence in right field for her first home run as an 88, and first home run in her coed career!

Kylie’s smarts and hustle not once, but twice saved the team runs after the curse of left field carried over to Brian this week. The curse may be intensifying, at least Tim and Myles were able to get a glove (or leg or tit) on their errors last week.

Casey swooped in to save us from a forfeit while using science to prove that White Claw + swing = hit.

Naomi arrived with her side kick in tow to give the 88s 10 players for the first time since July 21st and to show why she’s the Batman of that duo by scoring 3 times on 3 hits.

Marnie kept the troops entertained by wearing the brightest hat in the history of baseball, which back fired since it drew everyone’s attention to her at bats where she joined the 2025 K club with a humiliating swing and miss in front of her aunt and sister.

THE BOYS

Not to be outdone:

Tim went 5/5 + 2 runs + 2 RBI at the plate while playing perfect RF.

Brian went 4/4 + 3 runs + 4 RBI while playing less than perfect LF.

Josh went 4/4 + run + RBI while also getting the 2 inning save on the mound.

With neither team ready to end the game early, the mercy rule was ignored to play an extra inning. The facts of what happened during the 88s bonus at bat are unclear, but there were unsubstantiated nasty rumors going around after the game about both Myles and Jordan flying out weakly, but that’s all hearsay.

What’s crystal clear and on the record though is how Myles (SS) and Jordan (2B) played the middle infield to perfection by connecting on a slick double play.

The 88s are now winners of 13 in a row, good for their 3rd longest winning streak in franchise history, thanks to a 19-1 final.

EXTRA BITS

Jes’ blast makes her the 3rd 88 lady with a home run this season.

Brian received his 500 hit club pin after surpassing the mark back in June.

The season series with Nice Snatch ends 3-0 (66-9).

Special shout out to James for coming sans better half.

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.
