WEEK 5 RESULTS
AZ SnakePit 4, 7-2 Offsuiters 5
7-2 only got one Win, from Cliff Lee, but that was enough for a tie and overall victory. They were clearly ahead in hitting thanks to Berkman [7 R, 8 RBI], but Nathan's four saves and zero ERA helped the Pit fight back on the mound. Taveras stole five for them; Wilson had 2 saves and 7 K's for 7-2.
Douchebaggery 3, Tucson Myth 5

dbacktom 6, The Fighting Amish 3

Crazy VIII's 8, Wimboes Barmy Army 2
VIII had little trouble, after taking all five hitting categories, behind Kemp (7 R, 11 RBI, 6 SB) and an overall BA of .317. Army put up more resistance in pitching, with Cook getting two Wins, but Peavy (W + 8 K) and Rodriguez (3 saves) countered for VIII. A.Gonzalez had four homers for them too.
Kapsaicin Kids 4, Arizona Muugens 5
Neither side had an ERA below five, but Muugens four wins stopped Kids from sweeping, with Soria notching two saves and a zero ERA. The roles were reversed at the plate, as Kids only managed a split of SB, as Uggla had four HR and 8 RBI for Muugens, and Soto drove in nine.
Shenanigans 2.0 6, Desert Storm BC 4
Shen hit for power (8 HR) more than average (.213), but it was enough for victory - Bonser gave them a W and 13 K's on the mound. Storm got three saves and a zero ERA from Rauch, but their hitters combined for only three homers and 15 RBI this week. Cano and Jackson had 2 HR for Shen.
last place 2, Desert Dingleberries 8

warlords 7, Ignatius J. Rallies 2
Papelbon vultured up two wins for war, and Halladay fanned 13, as they dominated pitching. Neither team hit particularly well, combining for 38 runs and 39 RBI, with no-one managing more than five in either category. Sizemore homered twice for Rallies, and Reyes stole four for war.
GregSchulteOverdrive 9, SHUperMen 0
