Game 1: ONES 2 : TWOS 8
Game 2: ONES 10 : TWOS 4

It was an excellent day for softball, with the sun hiding behind clouds and a nice cool breeze blowing in from the sea. The first game started off as a defensive battle, with both teams fielding 5 outfielders, and showing some classic defense to keep the score tied at 2-2 throughout 6 innings.
The TWOS blew the game wide open scoring 5 runs in the top of the 7th and another run in the top of the 8th. The ONEs had no answer and the score ended at 8-2
Coming back from a huge loss, the ONES' bats opened up mercilessly on the twos, scoring 1 and 4 in the first two innings, and 3 and 2 in the last two innnings to take a massive 10 run lead. The TWOS almost made it back in the bottom of the 8th, scoring 4 runs, but the ONES defense proved too strong to be cracked.
Rickey finally got called up from the minors to replace Sandman at 3rd base during the 4th inning. He finally made it back to The Show. But no sooner had he stepped onto the field when he got traded away for JoZ. The management had felt that Rickey had lost a step or two on his speed, and his bat wasn't as big as they needed. To prove a point, Rickey grounded into two double plays. First one to Sandman at third for a 5-3 DP, and then to DT up the middle for a 6-3 DP.
