Rise n Slime Holds Off Late Surge from Pitch Slapped in Mid-Scoring Showdown

In an action-packed softball matchup, Rise n Slime edged out Pitch Slapped in a thrilling 15-11 victory. The game saw momentum swings, big innings, and a late push that kept fans (both of them) on the edge of their seats.

Rise n Slime wasted no time setting the tone, plating two runs in the first inning and adding three more in the second to take an early 5-0 lead. Their offense stayed hot in the third, matching Pitch Slapped’s five-run rally with a five-run inning of their own. By the end of the fourth, they had built a 12-5 advantage.

Pitch Slapped showed resilience, responding with another five-run burst in the fifth inning to close the gap to 12-10. However, Rise n Slime countered in the sixth with three key insurance runs, extending their lead and making a late-inning comeback difficult.

Pitch Slapped managed to scratch across one final run in the seventh, but it wasn’t enough to complete the rally, as Rise n Slime’s defense held firm to secure the win.

Both teams showcased impressive offensive firepower, with explosive innings on both sides. In the end, Rise n Slime’s consistency across multiple frames proved to be the difference, fending off a determined Pitch Slapped squad.

Hitting: Dave Lehrberger with a clutch hit to bring in the fifth run in the 3^rd inning.  Chris Capistron HR (forgot to touch third) so 2 RBI’S in the 6^th. Great hitting all around Tom Mott 4/5, Dave Lehrberger, Tom kairns, Jay Washabaugh, Eddie Rodriguez and Leo Sanchez all going 3/4

Pitch Slapped Falls to the Men in Black, but Has a Blast Doing It

It was a beautiful Thursday night under the lights as Pitch Slapped squared off against a solid squad we’ll call The Men in Black—and unfortunately, the good guys took another L.

Despite bringing our usual high-energy, high-laugh, mildly pulled-hamstring brand of softball, it just wasn’t our night at the plate. Pitch Slapped managed only 11 runs over seven innings, including goose eggs in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. That’s right—four shutout innings. We were quieter than a dugout full of guys checking their Fitbits after legging out singles.

The final score: 15–11, Men in Black. Honestly, the game was never too far out of reach, but the bats just never quite woke up. We tried all the usual tricks—loud dugout banter, blaming the ump, Thunder Dan’s rally socks—but nothing worked.

Bright Spot of the Night:

• Thunder Dan came to play, going 4-for-4 at the plate like a man on a mission (possibly to make up for years of baserunning mishaps). The man is dialed in.

Defensively? Eh. Nothing dramatic enough to remember, which is either a testament to how solid we were or how few balls came our way. It was a clean enough game—just one where we couldn’t quite get the offense rolling.

Still, it was a fun night, good vibes all around, and the kind of game that reminds us why we keep showing up: for the laughs, the camaraderie, and the faint hope that this week we might actually all remember to stretch before the first inning.

Onward to next week—when the bats wake up, and Pitch Slapped gets back in the win column. Probably. Maybe. Hopefully.
