Week 8: May 24-June 4

Featured game: May 25 - Cheshek BC (44-26) @ National BC (45-25)
Tsysi Fatsi (2-5, 5.30) vs. Santa Ketitu (5-4, 3.09)
CEX: SS Kofmi, 1B Narupu, RF Arachihe, LF Atswue, 3B Awia, C Fomochi, 2B Kiresho, CF Tyheshina, P Fatsi
NAT: 2B Kepi, 1B Rehefeo, CF Sipet, RF Rorale, 3B Yelishike, SS Mikesash, C Seshate, LF Yalai, P Ketitu

.Cheshek 000 000 004 .. 4 5 0
National 000 010 000 .. 1 3 1
W: Nele Shoshau (3-0) L: Fapasile Opopa (3-1) S: Rukakili Shiyetsorisu (13)
PotG: Santa Ketitu - 8 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 11 K, 1 BB

That really says it all, doesn't it? Opopa has only allowed 4 earned runs all season... he was credited with 4 unearned runs and a blown save here. With one out in the 9th, but Cheshek threatening with runners on 2nd and 3rd, a line drive hit by Tukefa Atswue was hit right at Linetsi Leretuto, who had just entered as a defensive replacement on a double switch, into Ketitu's spot in the lineup. He dropped it, allowing the tying run to score, and after a sac fly from Shulohi Awia gave Cheshek the lead, Pusituli Fomochi cranked a two-run shot to right-center for the exclamation point.

Tough luck for Santa Ketitu, who had thrown one of the league's best all-around games of the season.

News from last week: in the Shunna Eagles' week-ending 3-2 win over Keleri last week, Keleri SP Shykim Rekute suffered a season-ending elbow injury. Rekute did not open the season in the rotation, but had filled in nicely with injuries to Sleta Chulosaleta and Somashe Renlese (the latter of whom is now back). Rekute finishes the season with a 2.60 ERA in 6 starts, and a 3-1 record.

The same day, Galaxy shortstop Atsi Keana will miss two months with a sprained ankle. He has been really banged up all season - there are eight entries on his injury history screen for three months of 2022 play, though he's only missed ten games up to this ankle injury. Even at the end of the week, he's the league's RBI leader, so let's hope for no setbacks. The Pasataki lineup is pretty dynamic but he's been clearly their best hitter when available.

Round 15:
..Sh.Eagles 3-2 Fampalo - 4-1, 7-4, 8-9, 7-6, 4-6
....Cheshek 2-3 National - 4-1, 4-3, 0-2, 0-3, 6-9(13)
....Nokelto 2-3 Westline - 1-2(10), 7-4, 3-6, 2-5, 4-3
...Akashemo 2-3 Tsapna - 2-0, 15-7, 0-2(10), 2-3, 3-6
...Pasataki 2-3 Kupore - 5-4, 7-8, 8-7(11), 0-6, 0-13
..Amnanache 0-5 Otahel City - 0-2, 0-4, 1-2, 2-6, 3-5
.....Lutrul 3-2 Kepmem - 6-5, 8-7, 9-4, 3-11, 9-10(13)
..A.Spirits 3-2 Keleri - 2-0, 8-6, 4-10, 1-7, 4-2
....Sitache 2-3 Mithazni - 1-7, 6-7(10), 3-4, 10-6, 11-6
.....Hokrof 1-4 Mighty Oaks - 4-6, 1-11, 3-2, 3-5, 2-14

Akashemo United 2, Tsapna 0: Akashemo SP Tsarase Roshoshe takes a perfect game into the sixth inning, and ultimately only allows one hitter to reach base over 8 sterling innings. Ultimately a two-hitter after another single was recorded off of Chitipa Fyhy in the 9th.

Tsapna 2, Akashemo United 0: Turnabout is fair play - two games later, Lomunu Awia throws a gem in allowing just two hits over 8 2/3 innings. Awia only exited when he hit a batter in the 9th, but it was still a 0-0 game at that moment! There was a rare feat in the 10th inning, as with a "zombie runner" on base, Tsapna pinch-hitter Risei Mosaka cracked a leadoff two-run homer to walk this game off.

Kepmem 10, Lutrul 9 (13 innings): A great performance for Lutrul's catcher Otsiku Kiwarshi in a losing effort. He homered in the 2nd inning, dropped an RBI double in the 3rd and another double in the 5th, then homered to temporarily give Lutrul a 9-7 lead in the 13th inning.

Fampalo 6, Shunna Eagles 4: Fampalo 1B Chasaro Yutepe is done for the season with a torn ACL. Yutepe, 35, has what might be the EL's worst contract, making $8.4 million despite being at replacement level this season and having never reached any of his early-career highlights in three seasons in Fampalo.

Round 16:
.....Keleri 3-2 Hokrof - 8-3, 2-1(10), 7-8(11), 4-5(11), 5-0
.....Kupore 3-2 Sitache - 10-3, 6-1, 4-3, 2-10, 2-6
Otahel City 3-2 A.Spirits - 2-11, 5-1, 6-2, 6-3, 2-4
...Westline 4-1 Amnanache - 2-3(10), 2-1, 8-6, 5-3, 13-6
Mighty Oaks 4-1 Nokelto - 6-1, 5-7, 2-0(10), 3-2, 3-0
.....Tsapna 2-3 Sh.Eagles - 5-1, 3-5, 4-7, 0-7, 6-3(10)
...Mithazni 0-5 Cheshek - 2-4, 2-3(10), 1-11, 1-7, 5-10
.....Kepmem 3-2 Pasataki - 6-2, 9-7(11), 3-7, 8-9(10), 10-7(11)
...National 3-2 Lutrul - 11-4, 3-5, 5-4, 3-0, 2-4
....Fampalo 3-2 Akashemo - 5-11, 5-0, 7-0, 7-4, 7-11

An odd weekend, with 8 of 10 series being won by the away team.

Hokrof 8, Keleri 7 (11 innings): Hokrof C Sisha Rekute had three home runs tonight for the first time at the EL level, and added a productive groundout that led to the walk-off run in the 11th inning. Keleri led this game 7-2 after the top of the 3rd inning, but the home side chipped away, and Rekute's 2-run shot in the 6th and solo shot in the 8th were the final three runs of the comeback before extras.

Sitache 10, Kupore 2: Kupore lose SP Rattio Ayawetsi for the season with shoulder inflammation. Kupore's rotation has been uncharacteristically good, in the top half as far as ERA is considered, with Ayawetsi not one of the top contributors but solid. A couple weeks ago, he garnered a mention for a gem thrown at home against Amnanache.

Keleri 5, Hokrof 0: Another injury blow for Keleri, as 3B Meteshu Tsefufayalo is now out for the season, having started 77 of Keleri's 80 games. It's a back muscle tear, seemingly suffered while sliding into 2nd base on his 7th-inning double. Tsefufayalo was having a down year, with only 8 HR and a league-average 100 OPS+, both big dips from his first two years in Hefem. But he had a pretty high standard, and most EL teams would still take him at 3B.

A disaster week for Amnanache, going 1-9 against teams who were promoted from the 2L. Otherwise, not a lot of jostling in terms of order, but the top group is a lot more spread out than they were a week ago.
