Smash Its Everett Williams hits a walk off homer in the 1st game of the Dual #2 championship and Ben Dunn hits a walk off homer to win the "if" game!

Smash It Sports/Newbreed/TDB/RF/BD/T3 entered the Seattle Dual at Hogan Park in Kent, Washington as the #2 seed to Resmondo/Smash It/Menosse/Thunder but after beating them 2 out of the 3 times they met this past weekend they leave as the #1 team in the Conference. Smash It rolled through Dual #1 last Thursday and Friday going undefeated and beating Competitive Edge/OlmitoHeat/Adiktiv (FL-A) 29-14 in the winner's final Friday morning and Resmondo 32-15 in the championship game after Resmondo had won 3 straight in the loser's bracket. MAJ/KNELL/Dirty Sports/DTS/DOMN8 (WA-A) finished 4th after upsetting Dan Smith in the quarterfinals. Competitive Edge finished 3rd after beating Resmondo in the semifinals. The 1st tournament was played for the most part on 300 foot fields with dirt infields and regular conference home run limits.

The 2nd dual which began on Friday as the 1st dual was finishing up, featured unlimited home runs and 80 foot bases and most of the big games were played on the baseball field with its 330-370-395-375-370-330 fences and the Dudley Stadium ZN ball. In that tournament Resmondo beat Smash It Sports 22-18 in the winner's bracket finals Saturday night but Smash It came back and ran the table Sunday morning beating Dan Smith 28-19 and then "double dipping" Resmondo in the championship 19-18 and 35-34. Dan Smith/Proton finished 3rd and even scored 51 runs in one loser's bracket game over on the 300 foot fields and a banged up and shorthanded Competitive Edge team finished 4th.

I will have a full tournament report, picture album, and videos coming this week as the red eye home and some computer troubles set me back some. Unfortunately the Seattle Dual tournament directors decided to play music at fields 4, 5, and 6 so because of music copyright laws I was unable to get much coverage of games on those fields.

La Famiglia takes on Smash It/Derby Girls in the Championship of Dual #2

Women's teams were playing in honor of the late Christan Dowling who was the driving force behind the creation of the Women's Conference and the reinstatement of the Women's Major World Series.
