Emily Koga

Underhanded Compliments

Emily was an absolute beast on Sunday. With her Underhanded Compliments locked into a couple of nail-biters with Pitch Please and the Syndicate, Emily stepped up big time and again to lead her team to two impressive wins! An absolute vacuum cleaner at second, Emily proved she had the clutch ice water gene running through her veins at the plate. With her team trailing by three to the Syndicate in the top of the 7th, Emily had the at-bat of the day. After pitching around the batter in front of her, Emily made her opponent pay with a huge three run homer to tie the game and force extra innings. Underhanded Compliments went on to win in the 8th inning, following a trio of game saving catches to fend off a further rally in the bottom of the 7th. An all-around impressive day for Emily and her teammates!

Triffid Abel

Underhanded Compliments

In the final game of the day, Triffid's Underhanded Compliments were engaged in a back and forth affair with Yur's Bar. The one constant: Triffid's steady control on the mound. in a game that featured four lead changes and required extra innings to decide the outcome, Triffid continued to pepper the strike zone, not walking a batter, and minimizing big scoring innings. She pitched a complete game, eventually losing in extra innings.
