#WAKAWednesday - Week 4 Recap

Pumped Up Kicks might be last in the standings,but they have more Blazin' Reward points than anyone.

WEEK 4 RECAP

I wasn't there. The end.








jk. jk. jk. Although I wasn't there, I have some sources (aka the shout out thread inside the Facebook group) so I'll do a quick and dirty recap and preview this week's upcoming games. 

RUMSPRINGA 10, PUMPED UP KICKS 3

The last time these two teams squared off, 'Springa dropped 16 runs on them in a mercy shortened game. But that was several weeks ago and this time, PUK managed to make it a little closer. This was not only the highest number of runs the Kicks have scored this season, but it's also tied for the least amount of runs they've allowed. Baby steps, but progress is being made by the least experienced squad in the league. 

PBJT 2, BOOS ON FIRST 0

These two teams battled to a 0-0 draw in week 3, which lead to me joking that the Over/Under for this game was set to 0.5. And for four innings, it looked like the Under was going to win the bet as they were scoreless until a sacrifce fly brought home Casey Heck (from 2nd if I recall correctly) to break the tie and earn the 'W'. 

F3B 14, PUMPED UP KICKS 3

F3B maintained control of first place at the midway point of the season with a commanding performance against Pumped Up. "Shout out to Pumped in this game," head ref Bryan Koscielny said afterward, "Definitely a huge improvement from week 1!" 

PBJT 8, RUMSPRINGA 1

This was a tight game, until it wasn't a tight game. The wheels fell off late in the game and the normally tight 'Springa defense made some uncharacteristic mistakes. Mistakes that you can not make against a veteran squad like the Jelly and expect to have success. 

STANDINGS




WEEK 5 MATCHUPS

RUMSPRINGA (3-2-1) vs BOOS ON FIRST (1-3-2)

These two teams battled to a 3-3 tie in week 1. With both of them jockeying for position at the bottom half of the table, this game is a good test. BOF Captain Peter Murray will not be in attendance, but per his request, this game will be streaming live on CLUBWAKA's Facebook page so he can watch from the craps tables in Vegas.

PBJT (5-1-1) vs F3B (5-1) 

The battle for first place! If F3B can get the win over the streaking PBJT, they'll put themselves firmly in control of the top seed during the stretch run.

PUMPED UP KICKS (1-3-2) vs PUMPED UP KICKS (0-7)

The Kicks will be looking to continue their improvement with a match up against 4th placed Boos On First. Boos On First needs this win to help stay in the mix for the 3 seed.

RUMSPRINGA (3-2-1) vs F3B (5-1)

Tough double header for 'Springa in Week 5 sees them matched up with the top two teams in the league. F3B will be looking for a measure of revenge against the only team to hand them an L this spring.
