Summary
The mercury was high and the field was dead silent at game time. The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. The police were on the scene with riot gear… well, not really. Yes, these two team, once a united, powerful force had degenerated to become two bitterly contested rivals.
The A’s, still trying to pull a roster together following the mutiney, were only able to muster together two women players at game time. With only 9 players, the A’s were forced to play short handed for the entire game. Regardless, the Avengers put-up a fight and refused to quit. “The Punisher” lead the offensive revolt by belting 2 HRs to game, as the A’s ended the game with a respectable 17-7 finish.
Highlights
Jason: 2 for 4 with 2 HRs and 3 RBIs.
A-WOL: First complete game of the season for A's pitching.
Gabriella Hartmore made her Avenger's debute as the team's catcher.
Postgame Highlights
The umpire was overheard calling the A's "a bunch of assholes" during the game.
The umpire almost started a brawl between Tony of the A's and several "Team 13" players
after the umpire insulted players on the A's bench for refusing to shake their hands. Given
the disrespect that "Team 13" had shown to the A's, the A's had every right to return the favor.
