The question to be answered is whether Pirates and Synergy will complete a double clean sweep when the 2022 Terrence “Chino” Chinnery National Fastpitch Softball League Championships continue this evening.
With both teams leading their respective series 2-0 out of a best of five, a victory this evening will wrap the series for either team.
Playing in the first game at 7pm at the E. Walwyn Brewley Ball Park, Pirates will be taking on the defending champions Power Outage.
In the second game last Sunday, Pirates only allowed Power Outage 1 run, thanks to star pitcher Honourable Neville “Sheep” Smith who proved difficult for the batters, and splendid work in the field by the other players.
That game ended 13-1.
In game one, the Pirates who won in 2015 and 2016 made a statement with a 12-0 shutout against Power Outage in the fifth inning.
Tecius Frett of Pirates hit a line drive grand slam over the center field fence early in the game.
Other notable moments for Pirates in game one included Honourable Kye Rhymer’s incredible night on the plate and Honourable Smith’s performance on the mound as he struck out a host of Power Outage players.
Meanwhile, in the women’s division, defending champions and the undefeated Synergy will be aiming to complete back to back sweeps in the championships, a repeat of their 2021 performance.
In game two last Sunday, Synergy continued their winning ways against That’s Ya Problem as they fought from 3-0 down at one stage to tie the game 4-4 in the third inning.
However, it was at the top of the fourth inning which saw Synergy sailing away as they created a lead which they extended to 12-4 following back-to-back hits which resulted in 8 runs being scored.
That game ended in the bottom of the fifth inning, 15-7.
In game one, Synergy defeated That’s Ya Problem 14-7.
In the first 3 innings, Synergy faced stiff competition from their opponent but following that inning, Synergy began finding the meat of the bat to win by 7 runs in the fifth inning.
The game between Synergy and That’s Ya Problem will commence immediately after the men’s game.
