Game 1: Disciples vs Mayhem
This biblical contest between Good and Evil starts off slow and ends that way. Disciples get a solo shot from Darren Hughes to put up just 1 run in 3 innings. Mayhem matches that run total in their 1st 3 turns at bat. Disciples score 2 in the 4th on a Trevor Watts 2-run blast over the fence. They'll add 2 more in the 6th with Sean Murphy doubling. Mayhem plates 2 in the bottom of the 6th on Derrick Strowhouer's 2-run shot to make it a 5-3 game in favor of the Disciples, and that's how it ends. Disciples overcome Mayhem and win, 5-3.

Game 2: Disciples vs Did We Win
Disciples plate 7 in the 1st 5 innings. Sean Murphy doubles and homers, and Darren Hughes blasts a 3-run shot over the fence. Did We Win take a 18-7 run lead after 4 innings. Joe Bisceglie blast a homer, a double and 2 singles, Andrew Burgher pops 2 doubles and a triple, Jon Fine doubles, Keith Halili homers, Sean Pena doubles and singles twice, and Ryan Cullen doubles. Disciples get 1 in the 6th on a Richie Hall triple and a Sean Murphy double, and then 4 in the 7th after Darren Hughes homers, but it's not enough. Did We Win wins, 18-12.

Game 3: Mashed Taters vs Warriors
Taters plate 7 runs in the 1st 3 and then go quiet for 3 innings. Pat Furst homers, Jimmy Mann homers, and Anthony Latronica homers. For Warriors, John Leva homers twice, Matt Curtis doubles, and Jimmy Water triples on their way to 6 runs in the 1st 3 innings. They'll add 1 more in the 4th, and 5 in the 5th, with Steven Massey and Michael Water both doubling. Warriors add 2 more in the bottom of the 6th to make it a 14-7 game. Needing 7 to tie, Mashed Taters threaten with 3 walks and a 3-run, bases clearing double from Pat Furst. Paul Grant ends it with Mashed Taters 4th blast over the fence, but it counts as an out. Warriors win, 14-11.
