TOURNAMENT RESULTS

WINNER BRACKET GAMES

Mahoney's Bar & Grill 22, Poggi Bros. Elec/Red Dog 20

It was an uphill battle all the way for Poggi Bros. after Mahoney's sent up 13 batters in the first and tallied 10 runs, ignited by a leadoff triple by Brad Dredge (3 hits, 4 runs) and ended by Dredge's grand slam HR. Mahoney's added 6 runs in the second for a 16-4 lead and then petered out offensively—while Poggi Bros. kept chipping away. Leading the Poggi comeback were Alex Lindbloom (4 hits, 3 runs), Mike Beall (4 hits, 2 doubles, HR, 3 runs), Jamie Stone (2 hits, 3 runs) and Anthony Rooney (3 hits, 2 doubles, HR). As it turned out, Mahoney's needed the 2 runs it scored in the visitor seventh, thanks to a leadoff triple by Nic Nottingham (3 hits, 3 runs) and RBI single by Meghan Faherty (2 hits, 2 runs). Mahoney's: Sue Weller 2 hits (double) and 2 runs, Rich Lang double and 3 runs.

Hailey Hotel 21, Wise Guy Pizza/Nitro Green 16

Hotel, trailing 5-1 after one inning, busted loose for 9 runs in the second highlighted by Katrina Kolman's 3-run triple and a two-out, 2-run HR by Kellen Chatterton (4 hits, 3 runs). Hotel extended its lead to 12-5 in the visitor third, only to fall behind 13-12 when Wise Guy put together an 8-run home third. Big hits included doubles by Brian Nelson (3 hits, 2 runs), Kenny Nelson (4 hits, 2 doubles, HR, 3 runs), Justin Herald (2 hits, 2-run HR) and Cam Garrison (3 hits). Down the stretch, however, Wise Guy had only homers by Nelson, Herald and Ryan Stavros in its arsenal, while Hotel put together 4-run uprisings in the sixth and seventh to nail down the victory. Hotel: Teresa 3 hits and 4 runs, Steve Vouch 3 hits (double) and 2 runs, Brandy O'Grady 2 hits.

Sawtooth Paint/Class 5/McClain's 22, Peterson Dist./Tidwell 12

Slugger Jeff Schroeder had a monster game for Sawtooth Paint with a 3-run HR in Paint's 7-run first and a grand slam HR in his team's 10-run fifth. Other contributors to the 24-hit attack included Bryan Burrell 3 hits and 4 runs, Josh Jacobson 3 hits (double) and 2 runs, Jeff Burrell 4 hits (HR, double) and 4 runs, Shannon Webb 3 singles, John Rathfon 2 hits (double) and 2 runs and Chris Benson 2 hits (double).

LDE Electric/Little Wood Builders 25, Power Engineers 10 (6 innings)

A 29-hit barrage started by 7-run first and second at-bats lifted defending champion Little Wood Builders to its first of four tournament victories. The #9 hitter in the powerful lineup, Hoss Schmidt (4 hits, 3 runs), belted a 2-run double in the first and 2-run triple in the 5-run fourth that made the score 19-6. Little Wood: Morgan Uhrig 2 hits (double, HR) and 3 runs, Sean Harrington 2 hits (double) and 2 runs, T.J. Peterson 2 doubles, triple and 3 runs, Lisa Valdama 3 hits and 3 runs, Buddy Peterson 3 hits and 3 runs, Sharon Payne Bolton 3 hits (2-run triple) and 3 runs, Bobbi Edwards 3 singles.

Sawtooth Paint/McClain's/Car Quest 19, Hailey Hotel 2 (5 innings)

John Rathfon emptied the bases with a two-out HR in Sawtooth Paint's 7-run first. After a leadoff HR by Jeff Burrell in the third, Paint sent up 11 batters in a 10-run third that ended with a 3-run HR off the bat of Jeff Schroeder (4 RBI). Hotel got 2 hits from leadoff batter Riley O'Grady and an RBI double by Steve Vouch but otherwise went quietly. Sawtooth Paint: Bryan Burrell 3 runs, Josh Jacobson and Chris Benson 2 hits and 2 runs apiece.

LDE Electric/Little Wood Builders 18, Mahoney's Bar & Grill 2 (5 innings)

After scoring 22 runs in its first tournament game, Mahoney's managed only 1 hit in its first three at-bats and scored its 2 runs in the fourth on a 2-run single by Sue Weller. Meanwhile, Little Wood was going to town with 3 runs in the first and 9 more in the second for a 12-0 lead. Little Wood: Buddy Peterson 3 hits (2 doubles), Hoss Schmidt 2 hits and 3 runs, Greg Edwards 2 hits (double) and 2 runs, Anna Edwards 2-run double.

LDE Electric/Little Wood Builders 13, Sawtooth Paint/Class 5/Car Quest 11

Regular-season league champion Little Wood seemed determined from the outset to avoid a repeat of last year's tournament winner bracket final—when Wicked Spud snapped Little Wood's 16-game winning streak with a 10-4 win in this game. It forced Little Wood to win last year's tournament the hard way, with 7-0 and 13-12 triumphs over Wicked Spud in the championship games of the double elimination tournament. This time Little Wood, the visiting team, raced out to a 12-3 lead after three innings. Sean Harrington drilled a 3-run HR in the 5-run first, while Wendy Hosman delivered a two-out, 2-run inside-the-park HR in the 4-run second. T.J. Peterson (2 HR, 5 RBI) chipped in with a 3-run HR in the third and Little Wood hung on—despite being outscored 8-1 in the final four stanzas. Josh Jacobson ripped his second round-tripper of the game, a 3-run shot, and John Rathfon followed with a 2-run HR in Sawtooth Paint's 6-run fourth that cut the once-huge lead to 12-9. Little Wood: Morgan Uhrig 2 hits (double) and 3 runs, Greg Edwards 2 hits and 2 runs, Sue Mulcahy 3 hits. Sawtooth Paint: Jeff Schroeder 3 hits (double) and 2 runs, M.J. Musselman 2 hits, Sarah Benson 2 runs, Chris Benson 2 hits.

Fourth-seeded Poggi Bros. ran up against a red-hot Wise Guy 19-hit attack—but Poggi didn't help itself in making 12 errors in the field.

Mahoney's Bar & Grill 24, Peterson Dist./Tidwell Const. 9 (6 innings)

Peterson/Tidwell's season finished up under a barrage of hits from Mahoney's led by Nic Nottingham. He clouted a 3-run HR in the 5-run first and added a grand slam HR in the 5-run second that gave Mahoney's a 10-6 lead. The winners batted around in an 8-run fifth that put an end to any Peterson/Tidwell comeback hopes. Mahoney's: Brad Dredge 3 hits and 4 runs, Sue Weller 2 hits and 2 runs, Rich Lang 3 runs, Zack Dilworth 3 hits (3-run HR) and 3 runs, Janene Poggi 3 hits. Peterson/Tidwell: Sean Guisasola and Tom Anderson (double) 2 hits each, Pat 2-run HR, Tracy Peterson 2 hits (HR).

Mahoney's Bar & Grill 12, Wise Guy Pizza/Nitro Green 11 (8 innings)

Rich Lang's walk-off game-winning double in the 4-hit, 2-run eighth completed the Mahoney's rally from early 4-2, 7-3 and 9-3 deficits. A two-out 3-run HR by Nic Nottingham (3 hits, 2 HR, 6 RBI) in the 5-run Mahoney's sixth cut the deficit to 9-8, then Mahoney's tied it 10-10 with 2 runs in the home seventh.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

LDE Electric/Little Wood Builders 10, Sawtooth Paint/McClain's/Car Quest 5
