WEEK 9 RECAP:
HISTORY IN THE HEAT

Little did they know that having their originally scheduled matchup against last years league champs postponed would give them an opportunity to make history against the worthiest of opponents.

At the peak of the summers first major heat wave, the franchise’s all time win streak record was on the line.

Sitting at 32 straight wins dating back to June 23rd, 2025; getting to a record 33 would mean getting through a loose and dangerous Jagerbombs squad who were coming off a convincing victory in game 1 of their double header.

As the temperatures rose, would the 88s be able to handle the heat and rise to the challenge or succumb to the pressure and leave the kitchen?

Despite getting off to an early 9-0 lead after 3 innings, it never really felt comfortable.

The offense was spotty (even Mr. Batting .900+ doubled his out total on the season, now up to 2) but it still managed to grind out 14 hard earned runs, which was enough because their defense was as rock solid as ever, once again giving up less than 10 runs.

A few of the defensive highlights:

Brian battling the left field sun to make a couple impressive catches

Relay between Myles, Josh and Nikki to take away a run at home

Naomi and Kylie had the right side of the infield on lock down

Jordan‘s reaching snag at short to take away a run

Josh leading an unorthodox 1-5-3 double play where Jes tagged the runner trying to advance to 3B before throwing it across the diamond to Kylie at 1B

The Jagerbombs lived up to their namesake in the bottom of the 9th by doubling their run total and giving the 88s a scare after bombs from Kyle (no doubter solo shot) and Bre (John didn’t let the cookies cool long enough and got burned) but the 88s were able to hold on for the 14-6 victory.

With their first half of the regular season now a wrap, the 88s look forward to a challenging and exciting second half when the divisions get re-aligned and they play nothing but the best of the best.

EXTRA BITS

Brian led the offence with a perfect 5/5 from the leadoff spot.

Their previous record win streak of 32 began during their undefeated 2021 season and ended 6/23/2022 when they tied Flaming Moe’s 10-10 before losing back to back games against Beer Chuggers.

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.
