- The Townsville Mojojojoes became the first team in End
of Summer Classic history to win three years in a row, 
defeating the Ghetto All-Stars 10-7.

- Prior to ESC XIV, the Wilson Sports Bureau figured out
that in the Classic's illustrious history, the two teams
have combined to score 269 runs. Townsville lead...
by three runs: 136-133. In ESC XIV, Townsville won...
by three runs.

- Wilson does not suffer alone - both himself and Slider
become the first two players to lose an ESC three years
in a row on the same team. While he was hitless in XII 
and XIII, Slider went an impressive 3 for 4 in the most 
recent losing effort.

- Johan became the first player in ESC history to defeat
a sibling. Fausto became the first player to lose to a 
sibling. Johan and Fausto were the first brothers to play
in an ESC since Tommy and Frank were Ghetto All-Stars in 
ESC VI.

- Cruzer shut down a potential rally by GAS in the 7th
and pitched the remainder of the game to earn only the 
second save in End of Summer Classic history. He went 
two and two thirds innings, winning his second overall 
and consecutive ESC title. His first born is due on 
October 4th.

- While iPhone autocorrects "xiv" as "civil," it was 
nothing but - a leaked email caused some tension between 
the two clubs in the week leading up to the big game. 
While there were ultimately no hit-by-pitches, there was 
a home plate dust-up between baserunner John B and GAS 
catcher Mike. Fortunately, no bad blood was spilled or 
carried over after a couple of minutes.

- John B proved for the second year in a row that he has 
ice water in his veins. After a 4 for 4 performance in 
ESC XIII, John B played a near flawless second base that 
saw a lot of action, especially in the ninth inning.

- Alvin too has cemented his status as a player who comes 
up big when it counts, going 2 for 2 with 2 walks, 
collecting one third of Townsville's hits in the process. 
The Yellow Knight had previously opened ESC X with a 
sharp single past the intimidating CJ, and homered in 
ESC XII to effectively clinch the Mojojojoes' first of 
three consecutive titles.

- Yes, the Mojojojoes won despite only getting 6 hits.
Townsville however drew 11 walks. The almost 2:1 ratio of
walks to hits led one player to quip that Townsville
won playing "Rogerball."

- Conversely, GAS had 11 hits with 6 walks. Both teams 
struck out 11 times.

- Kaplan won in his ESC debut. His double and Johan's 
triple were the only extra base hits of the game.

- Davy, the number one overall pick, took the loss even 
though he only allowed one earned run in six innings and 
striking out 11 batters.

- GAS is now 1-5 in games where their starting
pitcher is not Wilson. 

- Davy, Kareem, Fausto, and Joel lost in their ESC 
debuts. Their times will come.

- In a good way!

- Kevin managed to go 1 for 2 with 3 walks despite flying 
in from California the morning of the game.

- Townsville committed an error on both the first play of 
the game and the last play of the game. 

- Christos was the winning pitcher for the third year in 
a row, going six and one third allowing two earned runs, 
walking five and striking out nine. In 23.1 innings over 
the past three ESCs, Christos did not allow a single 
extra base hit.

- Stomo proved to be a perfectly cromulent umpire, 
cromulent being the highest praise an umpire can receive. 
He managed to call a consistent strike zone that one 
pitcher called "perfect," he correctly identified an 
infield fly rule situation, and bit his tongue when all 
of the inconsistent and vague league rules were explained 
to him prior to the game.

- Despite his underwhelming debut (turns out not so much) 
at leadoff, Mangan won his third consecutive
title. He was interim captain and general manager in 2012, 
and Townsville's consigliere/Mangan the past two seasons.

- Sergio and Mark also won and did good things to help 
Townsville win. Mark - who picked up 3 RBIs - is now 5-6 
all-time in Her Majesty Lady Wendy's Rounders 
Invitational, and the sure-handed Sergio improved to 4-2.
