Four teams will go for all the marbles tonight, as the 2nd Budweiser Chamolinian Softball Association Slow-pitch League holds two championship matches at the Capital Hill Ballfield.<\/p>\n
In the first title game at 6:30pm, Man Amigos will take on Natibu in the men\u2019s division. Man Amigos have the twice-to-beat advantage in the finals after winning their first two games in the double-elimination playoffs.<\/p>\n
The third-seeded Man Amigos first dueled the six-ranked G-Ballers on June 7 and won. Then on June 9, Man Amigos were pitted against the second-seeded Phat Boyz and pulled off an upset to arrange a winner\u2019s bracket semis duel against Natibu.<\/p>\n
Natibu took the league\u2019s pennant and was seeded first in the upper half of the eight-team playoffs. It easily past the last-ranked Berdax and then thumped the fifth-placed Your Balls in the quarterfinals. In the semis, Natibu bowed to Man Amigos, dropping the former to the loser\u2019s bracket. <\/p>\n
Natibu went on to force a rematch against Man Amigos after surviving Phat Boyz in the last semis match. A win in Game 1 in the finals tonight will allow Natibu to extend the title duel to a deciding Game 2 at 8:30pm.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s division it will be Check It out versus Sakudi with the latter holding a twice-to-beat edge in the finals.<\/p>\n
Sakudi won the women\u2019s pennant and drew a bye in the first round of the double-elimination playoffs. Sakudi then defeated Proa, which downed T&C Clan in the opening round, to advance to the semis against Check It Out, which prevailed against Enamo Meta.<\/p>\n
In the winner\u2019s bracket semis, Sakudi triumphed, while Check It Out fell to the loser\u2019s bracket and faced Enamo Meta. Check It Out prevailed in the must-win playoff to earn a second crack at Sakudi.<\/p>\n
Game 1 of the women\u2019s finals is set for 7:30pm. Game 2, if necessary, will be played at 9:30pm. Awards ceremony and banquet will take place once the two title showdowns are completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
