For the 27th time in NCBL regular season history, the SweatSox and Mudd faced off in Tier 2 action this past Sunday at Kinsmen.  But before we talk baseball, lets talk footwear!<\/p>\n

When we were clearing out our dugout after the Mavericks tourney last weekend, we noticed a pair of cleats were left behind.  We soon realized that they belonged to Mark Bond, who had rushed off to watch the season finale of Game of Thrones at a hardcore (like volleyball hardcore) cosplay party.  It was suggested we post a picture of it on our IM thread so he\u2019d know, but we only use our Whatsapp for non-baseball related conversations (like advertising our own personal businesses), so we decided to just stash the spikes in a trunk and let him sweat for a few days.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to Sunday when Bus Cop went to change shoes and couldn\u2019t find his cleats.  Assuming he left them at home so not bothering to ask us if we knew where they were, he successfully scrambled to borrow a pair from somebody else.  Here are the clues, can you figure out who he borrowed from?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. He told Cory Bond he borrowed a pair from Chris<\/li>\n
  2. He told I, Shaun Keay, that he borrowed a pair from Army<\/li>\n
  3. He told Craig Cornell he borrowed a pair from someone who once played in Tier 3<\/li>\n
  4. He told Chris Lidstone he borrowed a pair from someone who played Fall Ball<\/li>\n
  5. He told John Groves he borrowed a pair from someone who won an official NCBL award<\/li>\n
  6. He told Mark Stinson he borrowed a pair from someone who played in the Brewer tournament last year<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Correct Answer<\/strong><\/span>: Chris Armstrong, Capital City Cubs<\/p>\n

    SweatSox vs Mudd featured a pitching matchup between the Tier 2 Most Valuable Players from 2007 & 2008: Mark Dorrington v Greg Elliott.  The over\/under for total runs was set at 3.5, so hopefully you were smart and bet the under.<\/p>\n

    The SweatSox opened the scoring in the 3rd inning when Eric White scored Craig Cornell (sans helmet) from second base.  The Mudd tied it in the 4th when Josh Ramage couldn\u2019t scoop a would-be inning ending double play at 1B.  The SweatSox took the lead in the 7th when Josh redeemed himself and knocked in Armando Navarro, who was a little slow seeing the stop sign, stopping 10 feet before the plate instead of 90, but still somehow scored.  The SweatSox held serve in the bottom of the 7th to secure the win.<\/p>\n

    Our Battalion-Style Baseball Only Recap<\/strong><\/span>: SweatSox scored 1 in the 3rd.  Mudd scored 1 in the 4th.  SweatSox scored 1 in the 7th.  SweatSox win 2-1.<\/p>\n

    Broment of the Day<\/strong><\/span>: The SweatSox infield gathers at the mound (Tribu-style) in the bottom of the 7th for an unprecedented strategy session.  Runners at 2nd (winning) and 3rd (tying), nobody out, 9-1-2 coming up, what do we do.  Apparently we play strong D and win!?!<\/p>\n
