Week 1 is in the books.

Township Tomahawks 2 (0, 4.5, 4) @ White Bear Bears 1(7,2.5,3)
The 3 time defending Champion Tomahawks battled injuries, the flu, and mismanagement but were still able to take down the lowly Bears.

The Bears took an early lead with a 7-0 sweep in the Hitting category thanks in large part to the newly acquired Jean Segura.  Segura paced the Bears with 10 hits and 3 stolen bases to lead the onslaught.

Township stormed back in the Pitching and Mixed Categories led by Dylan Bundy and his 7 inning 4 hit 1 run 8 strikeout performance.  Zach Britton chipped in 4 App for 5 inning and 3 saves and helped Township recover and start the season off on the right foot.

Roesville Raiders 0 (2.5,2.5,2) @ Centerville Chaos 3 (4.5,4.5,5)
This matchup was all Centerville!  The first sweep of the year avenged some bad blood after Roesville narrowly knocked out Centervilles playoff hopes just a season ago.

Centervilles Kole Calhoun led the hitters with a .346 avg and 4 walks to secure the first game.

Chris Sale pitched 7 shutout innings with 7 k's while only allowing 3 hits to lead the Chaos pitching staff.  The real story hear was the 4 other starters who had double starts and put up 58 innings with 55 strikeouts.

Little Falls Polaks 2 (1,5,5) @ Dinkytown Wildcats 1 (6,2,2)
Dinkytown hitters were on fire all week as Steven Souza and Nomar Mazara each had 10 hits and a .417 batting average for the week to sneak away with a heavily contested win Lets not forget the 4 HR by catcher Salvador Perez.  Little Falls hitters were up to the challenge as Rougned Odor and Mike Moustakas both went yard 3 times each.  But in the end Dinkytown was too much.

Both teams were dreadful in the pitching category as Little Falls was 1-5 with a 6.96 era only to be "outdone" by Dinkytown 0-7 6.47 era.  But someone had to win and this game was won by Little Falls.

Despite some sparkling defense by Dinkytown it was Little Falls and the Strikeout Maching Sean Manea winning the Mixed game.

Hugo Hurt Locker 2 (.5,5,4) @ Twin City Brewers 1 (6.5,2,3)
George Springer may have taken exception to the fact that Hugo sent him packing to perennial cellar dweller Twin City last season.  Springer led the way with 4 homers 8 Rbi and 5 runs.  The rest of the hitters followed suit and Game 1 was a blowout as Twin City won 6.5-.5.

The rest of the matchup was all Hugo and that vaunted pitching staff led by Lance McCullers.  McCullers was nothing short of magnificent.  13 innings 11 hits 17 k's and a W.  Alex Colome nailed it down with 3 saves.  Hugo pitching staff ended the week with a 2.23 ERA and .952 Whip to send a message across the league that there may be a new favorite in town.  Now its up to Management to keep them relevant.

Hugo also rode this dominant pitching performance to a victory in the mixed game as well.  Hopefully this no hitting all pitching plan pays off.
