2303 Nuka Cup Rounds 3 and 4
Round 4 of the 2303 Nuka Cup is complete with 12 teams now remaining. Here are some of the outstanding games of the week with the brackets attached at the end.
Top Individual Performance
University Point was not happy to lose its first series in the tournament, and it shows. Since that series loss to Concord, the Deathclaws woke up. That was most evident when the Claws put away Finch Farm in the elimination bracket. Tomas Jones was instrumental in Game 3 when he tore up the Four Leafs pitching. Jones was 4 for 4 with two home runs, including a grand slam, with a walk, three runs scored, and seven RBI.
Heavy Hitter
Diamond City's Oren Gep could not prevent his team from being eliminated, but he sure tired. The Swatters first bagger hit a home run in DC's 8-1 victory and then two home runs in a 9-5 loss to Easy Town in the series clincher
Pitcher Extraordinaire
Roxbury may have been knocked down by Nordhagen Beach, but the Rad Sox's Eugene Gym made sure it was not a sweep. Gym pitched eight shutout innings, allowing just three hits, walking two, and striking out five in a 2-0 victory over the Boys. All three hits were singles.
Wildest Game
Maybe they just don't have pitching, but the 13-11 shootout with Quincy topping The Slog was a hitter's dream and a pitching coach's nightmare. Gunners' 35-year-old 1B Geoff Fair had one heck of a game he never had in his regular-season career. Fair, who has one career home run, went 3 for 5 with a home run, a run, and six RBI. CF John Rose was 4 for 5 with a home run, a walk, three runs, and an RBI. There were a total of 18 walks in the game against 12 strikeouts.
Season Pass Report
The Season Pass Tournament is 20 games in with 12 of the 18 teams remaining and just four undefeated teams: #1 Echo Lake, #3 Dalton Farm, #7 Cranberry Island, and #12 Grape.
