Final Standing: 10th Place

After a heartbreaking loss to the SW Slammers this morning, 6 – 5, our final standing is 10th place. Our final game was very close all the way, with the Millers and Slammers alternating for the lead throughout the game. The Millers held the lead into the sixth inning, but the Slammers were able to pull out two nice runs to end the game.

We spent the afternoon watching the first championship game between the Austin Blackhawks and the RHI X-treme. The winner of tomorrow’s game will determine who is crowned the 2015 world champion. The loser will take second place. Other games are still in progress this afternoon, so the final standings will not be published until tomorrow night.

Tonight we’ll attend a Rochester Redwings game, thanks to a generous donation of tickets from the Redwings. Tomorrow, we’ll watch the championship game, and possibly a second game if there isn’t a clear winner. Following that, we’ll attend a banquet to cap off the tournament. Tomorrow, we’ll fly home and start thinking about our next season. Although we didn’t achieve our goal of moving into sixth place, we know we have a strong defense and offense and we’ll only get stronger next season.

From a fund raising perspective, we’ll be in a slightly better position next year, because the World Series will be in Aimes Iowa. However, we could use some help finding practice space for some winter batting practice. We’d also like to start fund raising early for the 2017 tournament in West Palm Beach Florida.

Finally, we’d like to thank all of our supporters this season. Stick with us throughout the off season, and don’t forget to tell your friends about the Millers and about beep baseball. We’re always looking for new players, volunteers, or fans.

A Long Hard Day

We apologize for not posting scores as they came in today. We played three games today, and we had very little down-time. Here are the results:

  • Millers Vs. RHI X-treme, 0 – 13
  • Millers vs. Indi Thunder, 11 – 10
  • Millers vs. Indi Knights, 12 – 2

Unfortunately, losing our first two games today eliminates us from the winner’s bracket, meaning that we are now unable to compete for anything better than 9th place. Fortunately, though, we will be competing for 9th place tomorrow morning, thanks to our win against the Indi Knights. Stay tuned for the results of that game tomorrow afternoon.

A Busy Day

Today will be a busy day for the Millers. This morning, at 9:00 AM, we play the second-place RHI Extreme. They’ve been a hard team to beet in the past, but we’re not the same team we were either. Winning that game would leave us undefeated in the winner’s bracket. Losing that game will give one of two elimination slots. Losing both mathematically eliminates us from playing in the championship game, but does not eliminate us from the possibility of competing for third place. All in all, we’re still on track to achieve our goal of moving up in the standings to sixth place or higher.

Yesterday we crushed the Lodestar Roadrunners 10 – 1. Our defense was awesome, giving up only one run in the last inning. Pitching and catching have continued to be on fire with almost no strike outs and runs being scored all over the place. We spent the rest of the day resting up, spending some time in the pool, and bonding over our annual team dinner at Sticky Lips Bareque. It was fantastic and we’re all full of energy this morning. The weather is also more cooperative, with a forecast for mostly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 85.

Thanks to all our fans who have been leaving comments on our Facebook page. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come.
