An outer space battle as the Smash host the Beamriders. This is the biggest game of the season so far. A Beamriders win will greatly even out the standings of the Action Network. Let's get it on! Game will be color v. color.

WHEW! What a dogfight that was, plenty of big hits! The Beamriders and Smash were tied 1-1 in the 2nd. The Smash took the lead 2-1 in the 5th, then the Beamriders took the lead 3-2 in the 7th. The Beamriders go on to win 4-2. The Beamriders, Smash and Ghosts are now in a 3-way tie for first place.

Tough game, the only run was the Bombers getting some hits to score in the 5th. Plenty of hits for the Dogs, but not good enough for the Bombers defense.

 

This win moves the Bombers into a tie with the River Raiders for first place in the Battle Network.

 

The first inter-network week of the season starts Monday with five games next week!

Explosive game, lots of big hits! The game was tied 3-3 into the 9th when the Dogs kept hammering the ball and took the lead 4-3. The Ghosts had bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the 9th but struck out, giving the Deadly Dogs their first win of the season!

Mid-season Report

The third season of the Intellivision Baseball League has been a surprising one so far. Let's break down the first half!


Smash

After two seasons of mediocrity, this team has been explosive at the plate in every game so far, and their defense and pitching have really improved by only allowing one run in their first three games. They have a big shot at the championship series if they keep playing at this level.


Ghosts

The first new team in the league is scaring the rest of the Action Network with their big bats, which luckily has offset their defensive issues. They have a good pitching staff, so if they can stop the errors, they will be in hot pursuit of the network championship.


Beamriders

The current league champions were a little rusty in their first game, but have returned to form since then, winning their past four games. Offense has never been a problem, and pitching and defense have become solid. They have what they need to blast their way to their third straight Action Network championship.


Snakes

After falling short of the championship series last season, it looks like the competition might be too much for them this season. Their pitching and defense had a good start, but have given up seven runs in the past three games. Their offense is also struggling, not scoring any runs in their last four games. They are slowly slithering down the standings.


Mutants

The bad luck of this team of freaks just keeps happening. They are a team with no wins, no hope, and no defender. Their offense can barely score one run per game, and their sloppy defense keeps losing games for them. They need a new manager to keep them calm and focused if they want to avoid more losing seasons.


River Raiders

After two seasons being in last place, they made some offensive upgrades in the offseason, and it is paying off by starting the season in first place. Pitching and defense have been near perfect, only allowing two runs in their first four games. They have what it takes to fly into the championship series.


Bombers

Last season's Battle Network champions are off to a good start, their only flaw being an error which cost them a victory. They are known for their strong defense, which has tightened up in recent games by not yielding a run. As long as they stay quiet, calm and focused, they can return to the championship series this year.


Spartans

2014's league champions are a bit inconsistent so far. They really need to work on their offense to compete with the rest of the network. Their starting pitching also needs to locate their pitches better and not give up runs.


Armada

After a rough start, their offense have come alive recently helping them win their last three games. If they can tighten up their pitching and defense, they might be able to invade first place before the end of the season.


Deadly Dogs

The second new team in the league is not as bad as their record shows. They are a young team with a hot offense, however their inconsistent clutch hitting had led to low run production. A combination of their youthful energy with some veteran help could put them in a good position for the future.


The second half of the season should be just as wild as the first half! Will we see repeat champions, or will the upgrades of the other teams pay off? Hang on as the second half kicks off Monday with an outer space war as the Spartans battle the Armada! Games can be followed live on twitter @intysports. Game time is around 11:30am PT.
