We are pleased to announce the results of...

..held in Davis, California on Saturday, June 7th.

Before we get into sillyness, here is a map of the location...

Numb and Numb-er Tournament and BBQ Update:

Overall observations: Guys came to HIT! There were very few walks in any game. There were no arguments of import with the umps (of course, since one of them didn't show up it was hard to bitch at him). Also, three games per team was obviously just enough for a near-100 degree day. Hitting, baserunning, defense, and blood sugar all faded as the afternoon wore on. Round Robin established a clear pecking order. One overheated guy wanted to keep playing and refused to acknowledge Barnstormers's capture of the coveted recycled women's volleyball trophy.

First batter of the tourney, weekend warrior Ray Russell, homered and then began berating himself and apologizing to his teammates for doing it with the bases empty. In true D-league fashion, he made up for it by making an out later in the same inning -- by homering again under the equalizer rule. First game was a heavyweight slugout with a the 15-20 mph California 'Norther wind that Barnstormers brought down from Humboldt favoring hitters.

Second game: See Numb Recap

Third game: See Numb Recap

Game 4: The real gem of the tourney. Well played duke out, with Barnstormers answering every Billy rally with a "I'll see your 3 runs and raise you 4" to break their spirit and raise their anger, just in time for .....(see next game)

Game 5: See Numb Recap

Game 6: Like deserving champs, Barnstormers struck early and kept the J.C.'s comfortably at bay and then let it loose in the final innings with a hitting barrage to cap their big day.

Billy Berroo 22, J.C.'s 13
Barnstormers 14, Numb 3
J.C.'s 11, Numb 6
