Week 4: April 6-17, 2024

News from last week that didn't make it into a news story for some reason: Sitache OF Monisho Hefie suffered an ugly broken leg while sliding into second base in the middle game of their series with Semyof last weekend. Hefie has an interesting history - he came up with Onesti BC (Oyefit, CA, between Ransu and Nokelto), and became a superstar at the Second League level, winning three straight MVP awards in the 2L (2017-19). It was only at age 22 that he got an EL contract, this being his third year at Sitache. At this level, he's a good player but not a great one. His former team, Onesti, was relegated from the 2L last season in their second year without him. Hefie will be out with his injury until around the end of June.

Tsapna BC (15-18) @ Mighty Oaks BC (21-12), April 11
Tsapna: C Fomochi, 3B Mawotsi, RF Toyerno, 2B Ifata, SS Nysotof, CF Rolei, 1B Wysesyhach, LF Apasarue, P Perano
Mighty Oaks: 3B Kilutsa, CF Salama, RF Sefenera, LF Misha, C Olufapo, 2B Fetiloa, 1B Tsefufayalo, SS Potamesa, P Aefep
231 100 820 . 17 18 0
000 000 000 .. 0 10 1
W: Setsinak Perano (3-1) L: Siteno Aefep (1-3)

No obvious standout games from the beginning of the week, so I'm picking a rebound game for Tsapna, as they sit lower than they would like in the table and have already dropped two of the first three in this series from Aroketsil. Plus, last week's featured game featured them getting absolutely clobbered, so here's a little fairness doctrine in action.

Still a few days from seeing RF Iti Tashete and 2B Lawori El returning to the lineup, Tsapna's batting order is weakened from its usual strength - like, everyone seems to like Tila Wysesyhach but he's probably not an EL player long-term. Still, you could have been fooled while seeing him hit a grand slam in the 7th inning.

Tsapna jumped on Aefep early, Pusituli Fomochi hitting a leadoff home run and the following rally producing an RBI hit for Kysatse Nysotof. Could have been worse than two runs if Nysotof hadn't gotten himself picked off afterwards.

The second-inning rally was the real killer, though: with no on and two out, Oaks 1B Tylu Tsefufayalo booted a ground ball, allowing Shesho Aparasue to reach. If you're Mighty Oaks manager Tishe Loap, you're thinking "well darn, they got through the pitcher's spot in the order", but it got much worse: Aefep threw a wild pitch, and Perano's eventual single up the middle allowed Aparasue to score, and subsequent hits by Fomochi and Pomi Mawotsi produced two more runs for Tsapna.

Perano cruised, scattering hits and only leaving in the 7th inning after allowing Niresilo Fetiloa to double off of him. 6 1/3 innings, 7 H, 0 R, 4 K/2 BB. Tsapna piled in on against the bullpen, particularly Tsira Nenatei, who did not record an out and allowed more earned runs in the 7th inning (4) than in his other 11 appearances combined (3). Every player in the Tsapna lineup other than Aparasue drove in at least one run, and everyone but Mawotsi scored at least one run.

PotG: Tsapna C Pusituli Fomochi - 3-3, 2 HR(9), 3 RBI, 3 BB, 4 R

Round 7

...Akashemo 4-1 Hokrof - 6-1, 9-7, 1-4, 8-3, 7-5
....Cheshek 4-1 Sh.Eagles - 4-3, 4-1, 2-1, 3-9, 4-1
.......Meka 4-1 Keleri - 3-2(11), 5-3, 6-7(11), 6-4, 7-5
.....Kupore 2-3 Lutrul - 2-4, 7-2, 1-2, 6-2, 2-3(10)
.....Semyof 2-3 National - 4-3, 0-6, 5-8, 5-7, 3-1
.......Muni 3-2 Pasataki - 3-2, 3-1(10) 9-7, 3-4, 0-2
..Amnanache 0-5 Westline - 5-8, 5-8, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9
....Sitache 3-2 BK Kepmem - 7-5, 4-3, 7-4, 6-12, 2-6
.....Tsapna 3-2 Mighty Oaks - 4-5, 4-3, 3-14, 17-0, 7-3
......Nokir 2-3 Mithazni - 4-5, 7-4, 1-6, 8-3, 2-3

So, about that big test for first-place Amnanache... the normally steadfast Orange pitching staff was blistered by Westline, giving up 35 runs in five games. Dual aces Tirionu and Latsychano only combined to pitch 7 innings in the first 2 games, and gave up 12 earned runs together.

The team of the round is certainly Meka - you would not expect them to go into Hefem and take 4 of 5 from Keleri. They're about to do the same against Hefem's other team, though at home.

Tsapna 7, Mighty Oaks 3: The story of this series finale was supposed to be star infielder Lawori El making his return to the Tsapna lineup after 2 1/2 weeks on the IL with a hamstring strain. Unfortunately, he sustained a strained oblique muscle while sliding into home plate in the 9th inning, and is likely to miss another three weeks. Tsapna, having already used up most of their bench, was forced to play backup catcher Sute Ninichu at second base in the 9th as a result.

Round 8

...Pasataki 4-1 Amnanache - 11-0, 5-3, 1-2, 14-5, 8-6
...Mithazni 1-4 Meka - 4-10, 4-6, 3-11, 10-1, 1-3
Mighty Oaks 3-2 Muni - 2-0, 4-5, 3-2, 7-6(10), 1-4
..BK Kepmem 1-4 Nokir - 5-6, 3-10, 10-5, 5-11, 2-8
...National 2-3 Tsapna - 0-1, 3-6, 9-11(11), 3-2, 4-2(12)
.....Lutrul 3-2 Cheshek - 4-1, 0-4, 4-0, 3-5, 7-2
..Sh.Eagles 2-3 Akashemo - 8-9, 13-5, 0-2, 2-1, 1-6
...Westline 3-2 Semyof - 0-5, 4-2, 0-2, 3-2(10), 7-2
.....Keleri 2-3 Sitache - 5-1, 1-9, 10-1(10), 1-3, 3-17
.....Hokrof 0-5 Kupore - 1-6, 1-5, 1-3, 0-5, 2-6

The week of big tests for Amnanache has been a resounding failure, as they drop 9 of 10 games and allow more than 7 runs per game in doing so. Guess they're not quite ready to play with the big boys juuust yet.

Semyof 5, Westline 0: A shutout for Semyof's Chasolo Latemohi, holding the currently league-leading Westline offense to six singles, and beating reigning PoY Tula Mitonone in the process. He only walked one batter, struck out nine, and induced 3 ground ball double plays.

Shunna Municipal 4, Mighty Oaks 1: with a single and a triple in this loss, Oaks 3B Netomue Kilutsa became the first EL player this season to reach a 20-game hit streak. Kilutsa missed the season's first 11 games but has been the Oaks' best hitter in the month or so's worth of games he has played in.

The standings are still pretty chaotic, moreso than usual I feel. At this time last year, the Oaks and National were already a bit separated from the pack, and the top 4 teams were the eventual top 4 finishers. That doesn't feel like it's gonna happen this time.

Really bad week for Hokrof. If it was possible to clinch relegation in April, it would look like this. Kupore is the league's #1 pitching staff so far (never thought I'd say that), but still, to only score 5 runs in an entire series is pretty sad.

In round 9, the current leaders go to Tsapna, though the marquee series is probably Westline/Keleri. At the weekend, Oaks/Galaxy will draw eyeballs, but I'll also be looking out for National/Kupore. Next week's full schedule here:

Round 9:
Cheshek vs. National
Kupore vs. Mithazni
Lutrul vs. Tsapna
Shunna Eagles vs. Semyof
Akashemo United vs. Mighty Oaks
Westline vs. Keleri
Pasataki Galaxy vs. Sitache
Amnanache vs. Nokir
Shunna Municipal vs. Meka
Hokrof vs. BK Kepmem

Round 10:
Nokir vs. Lutrul
Semyof vs. Akashemo United
Sitache vs. Amnanache
Keleri vs. Shunna Municipal
National vs. Kupore
Tsapna vs. Hokrof
Meka vs. Shunna Eagles
Mighty Oaks vs. Pasataki Galaxy
