Bash Brothers Go Back to back Jack and Do It Again! Champs in Pre-Spring Short Season
The matchup between the Catfish Hunters and the Bash Brothers featured efficient hitting, strong contact, and a few standout individual performances despite relatively compact lineups. Cary Thompson emerged as the playoff MVP with a nod to Carlos Colom knocked in a trifecta of RBIs.
The Catfish Hunters were led by a dominant showing from Mark Stevens, who put together an exceptional performance at the top of the order. He went 12-for-19, posting a .632 average and matching on-base and slugging for a 1.263 OPS. While he didn’t record any extra-base hits, his ability to consistently put the ball in play and drive in four runs set the tone offensively. Mike Low complemented him with five runs scored and seven hits in 20 at-bats. Although his .350 average and .700 OPS were more modest, he contributed steady production and helped keep innings alive. As a team, the Catfish Hunters relied heavily on singles and situational hitting rather than power, finishing without an extra-base hit but maintaining strong contact rates and low strikeout numbers.
On the other side, the Bash Brothers showed more power and extra-base capability in a shorter sample size. Cary Thompson led the way with a .625 average and a team-best 1.375 OPS, highlighted by a double and consistent hard contact. Carlos Colom delivered the most impactful extra-base production, going 3-for-7 with two doubles, three runs scored, and a .714 slugging percentage. His performance provided key run creation and helped separate the Bash Brothers offensively. Jason Hemerka and Chris Neves added depth to the lineup, combining for four RBIs, though both were limited in overall production and each grounded into a double play.
Overall, the Catfish Hunters showcased elite contact hitting and consistency, while the Bash Brothers balanced contact with more impactful extra-base hits. The contrast between high-volume singles versus timely power defined the game, with both teams demonstrating different but effective offensive approaches.
