Game Summary

• Game #2 of the upper division quarter final 'best of 3' with the 1st game being forfeited by the opponents.
• Played at Complex #2, a win would send the Flaming Moe's to the upper division semi-finals.
• Bottom four teams from upper division send a team to the middle division final and the top four teams of the lower division do the same.
• The opponents got out to a quick 3-0 lead after the top of the 1st inning.
• With a 7-run response in the bottom half, the Flaming Moe's took a 7-3 lead into the 2nd inning.
• The high scoring game continued in the 2nd inning as the opponents regained the lead with 5 runs in the top and surrendered the lead again when the Flaming Moe's scored 3 runs in the bottom half for a 10-8 lead.
• The lead switched hands again in the top of the 3rd inning; a 11-10 lead when the opponents scored 3 runs.
• Then it happened... the best offensive inning in franchise history to date; 20 runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning for a 30-11 lead.
• In this epic inning, eight batters scored at least twice (one scored 3 runs) and the inning ended when #25 Jonathan Quirt hit into a fielder's choice recording his second 'out' of the inning.
• This inning also saw the opponent's third basemen forget what sport he was playing when he got physical with #5 Mike Frank as he made his way to third base.
• In an incredible change of pace, neither team scored in the 4th inning.
• The opponents won the 5th inning 5-1 (second lowest total runs in an inning) to close the gap to 31-16.
• If the Flaming Moe's could hold the opponents to 14 runs or less in the top of the 6th and final inning, they would advance to the upper division semi-finals.
• The opponents scored 5 runs before an out was recorded, however, the Flaming Moe's settled down and recorded 3 outs in a row to secure the win, 31-21.
• The Flaming Moe's would have to wait until a September 3rd game #3 in the other upper division quarter final to see who they would play in the upper division semi-final.
