Milling Series - Game 1: #1 Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot vs #4WC Twisted X Chupahopra
Unlikely hero lifts Chupahopra to game 1 victory
With triple crown winner Jim Stamey taking the mound for the Blithering Idiot in game 1, the home town crowd felt supremely confidant they would cruise to a win. The post season, however, is a strange and unpredictable beast, and the most unlikely of heroes tend to emerge. For Twisted X, it came in the form of light hitting right fielder Ken Nunley (9 home runs, 48 RBIs, .190 average during the regular season). In the top of the 8th, Nunley would come to the plate with the bases loaded, and would promptly clear the bases with a grand slam to give his club a 6-1 lead. Weyerbacher would try to chip away but would fall short as Twisted X would claim a 6-3 win to open their Milling Series.
