WEEK 3 RECAP:
LUXURIOUS

A word kept coming to mind last night: Luxury.

What a luxury it is to have 2 aces to put on the mound on any given day. Jes who, before receiving her 2025 Championship pin proposal style, also played silky smooth at third base and scored on all 5 of her hits and Josh who, even with a sore hammy, also crushed his 2nd home run on the season; as close to a no doubter homerun as you can get without leaving the park.

What a luxury it is to have a player like Kylie who makes the 88s versatile and dangerous by thriving in any position on the field, leading to coach asking “Marnie who?” as she filled in beautifully at first base.

What a luxury it is to have a guy like Brian, who’s been on a streak of sparking new life lately, triggering a crucial 2 out rally when we found ourselves trailing 5-1 in game 1.

What a luxury it is to witness one of the baddest bitches in the league not letting a rare off night at the plate impact her defense, reeling in the most flies in the outfield on the night, including an important first out in the final inning of game 1 after the Walkoffs threatened a come back with their first two batters reaching safely.

What a luxury it is to have someone of Nikki’s calibre behind the plate, turning a position where some teams are weak into a strength for the 88s, as she went 7-for-10 with 4 runs scored and 3 RBIs on the night.

What a luxury it is to have Jordan, someone so good that even him at 60% while managing a back injury is able to make play after play in the infield… only missing one through the 5 hole to be a gentlemen and prevent the shutout.

The 88s finish May with a perfect 5-0 record thanks to velvety smooth defence and opulent offense.

EXTRA BITS:

Tim with the walk off mercy hit in game 2, adding to his very impressive start to the season.

Brian being a good big brother by letting his sister catch his line drive for a crowd pleasing out.

Myles nearly hit one out of the park, only 35 feet short. “Is it out?”

WHAT THE TEAM NAME MEANS

Much like the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA being named after the year America declared their independence (1776), the 88s name comes from the year 1788 when an original settlement of empire loyalists escaping the American revolution arrived in the area now known as the City of Welland.

2026 OFF TO A GREAT START

It wasn't nearly as easy this time around, making it that much sweeter.
