Rockford Peaches Erase Early Deficit to Win No Idea Softball Title

At the end No Idea Sports’ regular season, Balls sat towards the bottom of the softball rankings. The 7th best team out of 10, their chances of making it to the playoffs seemed slim. But, thanks to a play-in win, the team advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs, where they won a nail biter against Bad News Beers. In the semifinals, Balls was 3 outs away from heading to the finals, but they gave up their lead in the 9th inning and had to play extra innings. They eventually beat Kavorka for the right to play for the title against the Rockford Peaches, a team they had yet to face this season.

In the top of the first, it was all Balls as they went up 3-0. But, the Rockford Peaches, a team who hadn’t had more than 5 runs scored against them all season, quickly answered and scored 5 runs of their own to go into the 2nd inning with a 5-3 lead. Shutting out Balls in the second inning, Rockford Peaches would tack on another run to go up 6-3.

The 3rd inning showed great defense on both sides, with no runs scored. The game saw its only home run in the 4th inning. That homer, along with a triple, scored more runs for the Rockford Peaches. The 3 runs in the first inning were all Balls could score, but the Rockford Peaches scored again in the 5th and would eventually take the championship, 15-3.
