GATORS vs. PREDATORS | MLW Wiffle Ball 2022

[Music] [Applause] [Music] two recent mlw Champions meet today with sour taste in their mouths from disappointing finishes last season vengeance is on their minds as they both look to begin 2022 on the right [Music] note hello everybody I'm Kyle Schultz alongside Tommy cogin once again we welcome you here to The Meadows for the third series of 2022 a great matchup between the Great Lakes Gator and Pacific Predators yeah I'm very anxious to see how the Gators come out today but nothing new for these guys it is Jorgenson zurag and chetam here today the trio that has bonded over the last few seasons no ree Harris today they're drafted as he's still finishing his baseball season but uh it's the Gat we know and love for the Pacific Predators on the other side they have a full Squad they've got Alec Ward the captain Brennan Russell Ryan crat Steven mcglade M Holly and TBA on Rudy Ramirez there's a rumor that he's going to show up but you never know with Rudy boy um but nonetheless they're a team that missed the playoffs for the first time ever last year um as you can see on the screen right here um it was the most disappointing year ever for the pr because you know they had a successful 19 and 20 there in the ALCS but um looking at ways they can turn it around I'm looking at timely hitting I'm looking at a production from uh the young guys Holly and and mlay the seconde player um and then you know crat staying under the speed limit he had issues with that last year but if they can complete all three of these things I think they have a great shot to not only win this series but be a contender all year long in mlw would you agree with that Tommy yeah we'll see I mean they've been uh very uh very controversial with that draft pick they had at number two of Matt coli so uh we'll see if it pays off for Warda and folks the mlw tournaments are back that's right we have a Michigan and Illinois tournament already listed on the website mlw wall.com go check it out for all the details uh we got some more locations coming soon but we have two announced currently so if you want to play against us or have the chance to meet us um that'll all be linked in the description mlw wall.com let's head down to the fielders player interviews all right Ryan I just want to know how excited you are to be back given how poorly the end of the season went last year for you um you know last year that feeling is uh definitely feeling that sticks but um you know we're trying to just uh transfer that into excitement and we're just going to have fun enjoy our time here but uh yeah we're really excited the Freds look good ma looks good so I'm super excited to get going all right Zer you've quietly been in this league now for 5 years he used to be the young guy but what's it be you to you know play in mlw for a half decade now you know it's a great feeling you know great to be back going against the Predators great team we're here with our course three this year uh for this first series last year we got off to a slow start but I think this year this is our year I'm very excited about this match up it can go either way PRS Gators here we go I have a feeling this is going to be a showdown it's like a extra Breath of Life swinging a pop up not far enough at all crch makes the play one down early ball four to jensson one on one out for Zer hard hit to the left side safe everywhere first and second first hit of the year for Brendan zurag last year's most improved player of the year hard hit to the left side same spot Russell has trouble and Jan score look at the aggressive base running early on in game one and an RBI single from Chris cheum swing going to miss on the Riser tailing inside two away for zurag what a pitch from Ryan crash the screw ball strike three Gators get one but no more we had to bottom the first Gator folks obviously have options to go to on the mound they're going to roll with cheum in game one here's the pitch from

for Brennan Russell big right side here the hit to the left swinging a Miss he got him after a long AB we're going to make that our first ever mlw pitch by pitch I want you guys to see this battle it ends with a slider over the Zone where Russell chases but earlier there was a lace liner in the left foul ball to right that's the way it ends with that slider Up and [Music] Away extras once again at The Meadows the thing I'm never going to implement is an automatic runner on second I don't like that at all grounder hard hit to the left side Fair ball single that's how you start it [Music] off what a pitch strike three looking on the drop FR ball four cheat him hi High Fly ball to left with some carry Russell makes the grab in left in front of the BL 101 monster that was skyrocketed I don't

going to six this long game one [Music] continues swing and a miss and on [Music] strikes swinging a shot to right and it's gone off the cing and over it's a solo shot for Chris cheum the tie is broken but the game will still go on as this is the top frame in the six baby cheum propels them to take the lead [Music] shot strike three on [Music] jorgie grounder back to Ryan through the legs single another one for zurag three on the day swing going to miss on the knuckle ball at 67 2-1 is our score can the Gators close it out [Music] here swing in a Miss he got him on strik one away oh nice Ball Four W is now the winning run stepping up to the plate what a super curve that thing is nasty that might have been the best one of the day shot to right field BR Russell that's a walk up home run down to his last stri he comes through it's second of the day go and it's just game one and the pr win it oh man 32 final Brenan Russell unbelievable he was down to his last strike I can't stress that enough and he comes through go let's go let's go come on let's go shot let's go [Music] baby let's go that's how you end a six inning Thriller game two coming [Music] up game two here we go Jenson on the mountain for the Gator riser looked at it grounder off the kneecap single and this right here is ma Holly's debut first career ab and folks he is dhing for mlade that's a new rule in mlw this year a DH is allowed and he will be hitting from a Glade he puts together a great AB in his first time up draws the walk first and second fr's rallying Fair ball into right field zurag on one hop makes the play B was wanting to go stared him down second and third with two away yes sir that was a bomb Alec Ward with an absolute nuke to right it's his first home run of 2022 and he flies through the bases oh my goodness W he touches home make sure that is an absolute bomb yes sir that was a second [Music] sir no swing and a miss got him on strikes I'm the slider Fred's get three in the first inning three 0 bottom one here's Steven mcglade pitching for the PRS in game two first appearance in 2022 outside Chris walk swing a miss that one ate him up strike three B four to [Music] zerle swing and a miss on the drop ball two away swing and to miss strike three got him on strikes that will end the inning 3 nothing a scoreless frame thrown from Glade walk him on four just missed another walk for Holly is third consecutive drop ball hard hit into Center for zurag and he's going to hunt down W completely ditched Holly at second and base is loaded No Tag was made he prevented a run though if he went for the tag I'm thinking W might have scored there so you kind of have to give and take there no ball four walked in a [Music] run grounder hard hit to the left side it's cheum he gets the force W is going to score check that a fielder's choice on the tag not the force but Ward's going to score regardless and it's five nothing PRS swinging a bomb to left field at the track gone Ryan crash with a moon shot to left three-run shot and it's eight nothing PRS a blowout early on in game two who would have thought after that six inning very tight game one [Music] he just set it off for the eight nothing swinging bom left field at the track swinging left field at the track yes sir F four what a pitch from jorgie first and second for w with two [Music] outs Fair ball single for W on a dribbler not the greatest inning for the Gators six-run Mercy cap 90 PRS B for Z [Music] legs it's good to see when the trees back there are green oh yeah pitch from a Glade strike three Riser looking Fair ball left side tough hop one base for each Runner second and third that'll be a single and an error no hard hit right side to W out at first base a run comes in and RBI ground out for Christino Gator are on the board 9-1 swing and a miss strike three got him on strikes and that is going to bring us finally to the BL 101 trivia question of the day the question is who has more alltime hits in mlw is it Alec Warda or Brennan Russell and Ryan crash [Music] combined that's right it's Alec Warda with 275 compared to crash and Russell at 240 [Music] I strike three on [Music] crck what a pitch from Dorie stunned [Music] him another walk for Holly what a pitch from dorgi ends the inning bottom three we go in a 9-1 game at The Meadows in game two zurac to left crash makes the play one away on the first pitch of the third for the [Music] Gators swing and a miss two away early walked them shot to right field right to W can make the play got him at second base the PRS are two and 0 mlade one and0 in his first appearance in 2022 looks Stellar 9-1 final score and we head to game three where the PRS will look to sweep the [Music] Gators look at this folks mcglade's
