MID-SEASON REPORT

Season 9 has been a good fight! Let's break it down.
 

Smash

Not as good a start this season as last season, but they still had another strong first half. Their offense is one of the best in the league, and their pitching and defense has been great, only allowing three runs and two shutouts in five games. However, they are already showing signs of their second half failures with their only loss and two extra inning wins in their last three games. We'll see if this is the year they can stop their yearly second half crash.
 

Mutants

They're right behind the Smash again, riding a three game win streak. They have scored a lot of runs, but also have been inconsistent. Pitching and defense have been dominant in their last four games. If they can stay consistent at the plate and stay strong defensively, they should have a good second half.
 

Ghosts

They've had a decent start in general. Good games offensively but also inconsistent. They gave up a lot of runs in one game but have been solid besides that. If they can get a few more good games, they could make it back to the championship series.
 

Beamriders

They also have been inconsistent at the plate, but near the top of the league in pitching and defense. If they can score more runs, they might have a shot at their past championship glory.
 

Upmonsters

It looks like last year's Action Network Championship was a fluke. They've only scored five runs and have been shut out twice in five games this season. Pitching and defense are one of the worst in the league.
 

River Raiders

It's been quite a turnaround from last season! They blasted off offensively with a four game win streak, but fell short in their last game. Pitching and defense are starting to slide a bit. If they can fight off their opponents in the second half, they can get back to the postseason.
 

Armada

The 2021 league champions have been inconsistent so far this season. Most games have been close. They will need to improve at the plate to win another league championship.
 

Bombers

A weak start in general, being shut out in three of their first five games. Pitching and defense are showing signs of getting under control. The postseason may be far off in the distance this season.
 

Deadly Dogs

The meanie weenies have really cooled off this season. They've been shut out three times in the first half while giving up at least one run per game.
 

Spartans

Solid offense this season with no shutouts, but they have the worst pitching and defense in the league giving up 12 runs in their last four games. With another mediocre season pending, the postseason for them is light years away.
 

Anything can happen in the second half! Keep watching, it's gonna get wild! The race for the championship series starts Monday! Games can be followed live with the live scoreboard on the homepage http://intysports.win. Game time is around 9am PT.

The first three innings today were a SLUGFEST!

The Mutants scored a run in the top of the 1st inning.

The Ghosts scored THREE RUNS in the bottom of the 1st.

The Mutants scored a run in the 2nd and crushed a home run to center for two runs in the 3rd!

The Ghosts threatened to tie it in the bottom of the 9th but couldn't score.

Mutants win 4-3 and stay a game behind the Smash.

That's three big offensive games in a row!

It was a tough fight for 13 innings today, then the Upmonsters scored a run on a fielder's choice in the 14th inning.  They beat the Mutants 1-0 and move to 2 games out of first place and tied with the Ghosts for 3rd place. 

 

That's a huge loss for the Mutants, who are now 1.5 games back and play the first place Smash next week.

The Beamriders BLASTED OFF today!  THREE runs in the 2nd and THREE runs in the 8th!  They exterminate the Ghosts 7-0!

 

The last team to score 7+ runs in a game were the Beamriders, who had an 8 run game in 2020.

 

The Beamriders and Ghosts are now tied for 4th place at 2.5 games back.

 

Four weeks until the championship series!

The Smash hit four straight singles to start the game and scored a run in the 1st inning.  The Mutants tied it in the 4th.

Both teams battled it out until the Smash scored two runs in the 15th inning.  They hold on to win 3-1.

The Smash might clinch the Action Network title with a win next week!

Great game today!

The Armada scored a run in the 1st inning, the Bombers tied it in the bottom of the 1st.

The Armada took a 2-1 lead in the 2nd inning, the Bombers scored on an error in the 6th to tie the game at 2.

Both teams fought hard until the 10th inning when the Armada scored on a fielder's choice.  They win 3-2.

The Armada are now a half game back of the River Raiders for first place.  Both teams play each other next week!

It was a hard fought 10 innings, then the Smash got a walk off single in the 11th and beat the Upmonsters 1-0!  They clinch their first Action Network title.  It's also their first season finishing over .500 since 2017.

 

Up to now they were the only team in the league to not have made it to the championship series.  They will play either the Armada or River Raiders starting June 27.
