Mashing Series - Game 1: #1 Scorched Earth Giant Killer vs #1WC Tree House Tornado

Giant Killer fans got that sinking feeling again as their bunch fell behind early. Tree House took a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the 5th, hoping to keep the Scorched Earth bats asleep, but it wasn't to be. The Giant Killer offense finally woke up to the tune of 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th, and 3 more runs in the bottom of the 6th to take a 6-3 lead. Tree House managed to claw one run back in the 8th but that was as close as it would get, as Scorched Earth claimed a 6-4 victory to open the series.

Mashing Series - Game 1: #2WC Sierra Nevada Narwhals vs #3WC Horsefly Jazzy Razzy

The opening game of the Mashing series between Horsefly and Sierra Nevada stretched for over 5 hours as they needed a number of extra frames to come to a decision. After the Jazzy Razzy pushed across a run in the top of the 6th to tie the game at 3-3, there wouldn't be another run for a full game's worth of innings. In the 15th, Horsefly would finally break through again, scoring two runs to take a 5-3 lead. Sierra Nevada would push a run of their own across in the bottom half of the frame but would come up short as Horsefly claimed a 5-4 win.
