ESC  IX:  Townsville Denies A GAS Three-Peat
Townsville  avoided being victims of the first three peat in Classic history by defeating  the Ghetto All-Stars 20-13, recording their fourth championship. Townsville's  20 runs are the most runs a Mojojojos team had recorded in a single game. 
This  was the first ESC to be played at Cunningham Park.

-  Sergio wants to be in a video next year.
-  In the top of the 9th inning, George walked over to Roger at second base  expressing his dismay at his batting performance for the day. Roger informed  George that he to had gone 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts once, back in ESC III.  "And look at me now George, captain of one of the teams!" Roger then  extended his right arm towards the heavens. "You're on the right path. All  of this could be yours." As soon as that sentence was completed, a couple  of birds appeared and flew across the field.
-Afro  Mike mistook Roger's at-bat song, Natalie Portman's SNL rap, as Lil Kim. Mike  told Roger he didn't like that he listened to "this type of music". 
-Mark  did not make the last out. He had had the dubious honor in the two previous  contests.
--Every  player on GAS had a walk except Scott.  Every Mojojojo had a

  run  scored.  Hitting stars included Reese, who was 4/6, and Jimmy who

  was  2/3 with two doubles.  Jimmy was the only All-Star with an extra

  base  hit.
---Townsville  was hit four times.
---Somehow,  both teams made five errors... it felt like GAS made way more
