The Webberton Wizzle’s slonked the Springfield Slackers nill bill in the big semi-final matchup last night. 

Early in the mid-section of the quarter, rookie forward-split Mark Matthew hit a triple glide ball from the quarter line. This was quickly upended when the defence performed a stunning hung linger, tying the game. 

In her third year as coach for the Wizzle’s, Celery Pickle said the game was an aggressive court for the young men. “We had to keep the momentum going with the pass differential,” she said. “Ten more counts on the shot clock and the buzz would have ended our season.”

In the third inning after halftime, the Slackers came back, with their rackets in the paint for a double-time squash.

Slackers defensive tight-catcher Thatcher Batcher said the match went south for him once the clock struck its half-stretch.

“You know, we do all that we can out there,” Batcher said. “This game that we’re all playing—the one that you’re all watching us play—it’s a tough one, and without the right mindset, you can play bad, you know?” 

However, the Wizzle’s found their comeback opening at the bottom of the last, when right-hand hitting rusher Wally Fielder tossed a buzzer-beater beet salad from half-field to clinch a spot in the big game.

The Wizzle’s will go on to face the Calgary Marys after a three
decade championship loss streak.
