Going into the playoffs, the 4th seed Owls were not in many of the conversations surrounding finals contenders. They used that to fly under the radar and won 4 straight games, going undefeated in the playoffs to be crowned the 2023 JMS Champions! The game came down to the bottom of the 7th (final) inning where Ray Noormohamed tied the game with a bases clearing double setting up Owls pitcher, Mikael Ratansi, for the walk off hit to right field. Finals MVP went to Mikael Ratansi.

Shoutout to the Mashad Bucks as the runner ups and their captain, Ali Raza Nasser, who was named playoff MVP, batting .824 with 2 doubles, 3 triples and 4 over the fence dingers totalling 17 RBI’s and most importantly 39 bases for charity!

Our week 11 Player of the Week could not go to one single player. Not for the lack of individual performances, but the bounce back the Eagles showed in week 11 was remarkable. What took them so long to get their first 2 win week remains a question we’re not sure anyone has the answer to. Nonetheless, they picked a great time to come together and stack some wins to bring them out of the basement right before the playoffs. Look out for the Eagles this weekend, we think they liked the feeling of winning and might not be done yet.

Week 10 saw a lot of great performances. But our week 10 Player of the Week, Abbas Allidina showed out on both sides of the diamond. Batting .857 with 8 RBI’s and on the defensive side racking up 7 strikeouts. Watch out for this guy going into the playoffs!
