another wonderful Friday here from virtual banana land with Josh tvki Boo scalla this is a huge game for the party animals because the bananas magic number is down to two with only 14 to play you said it best not only is this the 50th City that gets to experience banana ball but they could experience more history as well if the bananas win both of these contests here in Salt Lake City it would clinch them the season series against the party animals for the year so they are really going to need some guys to step up to try and hold off the bananas through this week especially considering not only are they down their starting third baseman Bryson Bloomer but we saw a weekend ago their best pitcher on tour Drew Gillespie go down as well they are really going to need guys to be able to fill these voids and keep them in competitive games against the bananas the odds are stacked against them but they had a miraculous come from behind nine straight victories at the end of last year's tour We Had Drake tol check in with Mike vasis out on the party Plaza to learn a little bit more about the party animals back two hours before game time in Salt Lake City thousands of people lined up

much Drake and vava now that we know all about the party animals let's get to learn the 11 rules of banana ball the name of the game is banana ball and this is the fastest most entertaining game in sports rule number one win the inning win the point if you score the most runs in an inning you get a point the most points win the but in the last inning of banana ball every run counts as a point rule number two there is a 2hour time limit no new inning can start when the clock hits zero rule number three if you step out of the batter's box it is a strike rule number four no bunting if you bunt you're thrown out of the game rule number five batters can steal first rule number six no walks allowed it becomes a ball for Sprint until every position player touches the ball rule number seven no Mound visits nope rule number eight if a fan catches a foul ball it is an out in banana ball everything's in play so you better be ready rule number nine The Showdown tie breaker if the game is tied at the end of nine innings or when time expires it is pitcher versus hitter with one Fielder and the hitter has to score rule number 10 the banana ball challenge rule you the fans have the opportunity to challenge a ruling on the field rule number 11 the golden batter rule a team can send up any batter to hit in any spot in the lineup this is guaranteeing the best possible matchup at the end of the game when it matters most these are the official rules of banana balll stripes and bright or the r parts we watch were so gly streaming and the rocket reg the bombs bursting in air gave through through the night that our flag was still there who s us that star sprled better way for the land of the free and the home of the bra ladies and gentlemen Heather [Applause] [Music] pman what a fantastic rendition of the national anthem and we are kick lining our way towards first pitch here in game 83 of the 2023 well check that let's out of here make a 2024 banana ball World Tour and let's get a look at the bananas defensive alignment here is their magic number as we mentioned at the top of the show is at two with 14 games to play here in the season series against the party animals from left to right in the naners Outfield it's Robert Anthony Cruz dror Meadows and REE alexiis third to first in the infield you see Danny Hosley Ryan Cox Jackson Olsen and Eric Jones Jr behind the dish is Bill ly and on the mound is noan islo and it's the banana starting Short Stop Ryan Cox who continue to inch closer and closer to becoming the first player in banana ball history to 200 trick plays in a single season and the rookie Corner outfielders have really impressed lately Reese Alexius the first rookie to 30 trick plays and we saw two back flip catches from Ren left field last Saturday night got a quick look at a Juiced up Jesse Cole Reginal Horton and Company as we expect first pitch to be about a minute and a half away it'll come from this man Noah nnick Towing the slab what a rookie campaign in banana land he's having right now he is making start number 24 this season which is the most among all bananas and has nine wins and four losses those nine wins the most of any pitcher on tour and he also leads all pitchers or is tied for the lead for most foul balls induced to fans n inducing six of them this season hoping for that to climb a little bit higher here in Salt Lake City and party animals they are batting just 265 against mnik onour this season but when we focus on August alone they are batting 189 against the rookie leftand though let's take a look at that party animals lineup and it'll be the switch hitting center fielder ree Hampton at the top then Chase aov and Jake skull cleaning it up is Dalton cornette Noah fer Jason Swan Tanner Thomas in the middle in the bottom three you see right there Dustin bber Bronson ball home and Jordan Hussein and it's the Lefty Jake skull the guy you're looking at home runs in backto back games for the party animals and we saw him take Noah NIS niik deep last weekend in Savannah [Applause] Georgia party animals need to win 13 out of their last 14 games last year they won the last nine see what kind of magic they have in their hat here in 2024 as we get it down to Jesse banana Nation it is time on three I need everyone here to yell start the clock 1 2 3 start the clock Showtime leading off for the Salt Lake City Utah the 50th City to ever get live banana ball how about it perfect Virginia de Mo Iowa you just missed it by one spot each nnick ready to rumble and misses the outside corner with a fast ball primarily a three- pitch guy pater in the low 90 Circle change up and a curveball with a once in a while used [Applause] cutter makes his bacon with his control so far just barely missing with his first three offerings continuing to go to that outside corner against Hampton and a lot of close calls his three though will catch the corner according to Vincent Chapman pitcher pitch on three balls no strike misses on the 3-1 so Hampton's got to Sprint five pitches into the game you get a good look at how those have to be managed defensively textbook Sprint defense by the bananas all seven fielders behind the pitcher and catcher have to touch the ball before it's live Hampton not taking any chances content with one b and what makes things easier for the banana Sprint defense is the fact that nnick fell behind Reese Hampton 3 and0 those outfielders were already beginning to shade in towards that second base bag to gather together get the transition as quickly as possible and hold Hampton just one base as mnik checks on him Chase Acuff behind the ball in a strike make it an 02 count Hampton now up to 38 sprints on the tour that ties him with Jake skull for the tour lead who Waits on Deck really impressive because ree has only struck out 30 times this one bounc to short could be two 360 glove flip from Cox to Olen who does the rest miraculous trick play twin killing from the ners middle infielders well you knew with the slow chop being hit Ryan Cox's way he was going to have some kind of magic up his sleeve on his feed to Jackson Olsen and we saw it come out of the glove a little slow Jackie not with the best turn over at the bag but that's where Eric Jones Jr comes in at first base an incredible stretch for him to get that ball before Acuff could get to the first base bag here's the aforementioned Jake skull takes the fast ball Just A Pinch [Applause] inside hardly a Flinch after the fast ball fired behind his derrier SCH a former first round draft pick having a superb fourth banana ball World Tour tried to hold up on that one ends up evening up the count with the foul ball we've seen nothing but great things from Jake skull especially his last five games all of them multi-hit Affairs and again he's got backto back home runs and backto back games for the animals as fouls off the 1-1 and now finds himself behind in the count the bananas typically give him a steady diet of off speed and breaking balls nnick so far with nothing but heat for skull sticks with it misses up and in J lead Jake leading the tour with his 10 homers five triples and 21 doubles and looks like he may have another extra base hit right here Meadows can't cut it off and skull is going to Coast into third with a standup triple it's his tour leading 37th extra base [Applause] hit coming into tonight 48 a half% of his total hits went for extra base hits and he benefits from a little bit of a misread in center field from Dr Meadows but nonetheless Jake skull a very aggressive base runner now finds himself 90 ft away from scoring the first run tonight for the party animals that they hope will turn into a point Dotan cornette slaps this one the other way Cox under the leg across the Diamond In Time the gloved magician with two trick plays he's up to 180 on the tour as nnick strand skull on third base despite the extra base hit from Jake skull that is a 3 minute and 59 second first inning for Noah nisic really solid Mark nothing new for the pride of St Louis Missouri as we get a look at the party animals defensive alignment in the Outfield left to right it's Noah Fisher then Hampton and skull in the infield third to First you see Jordan Hussein a Dustin bber and Jason Swan catching is Bronson ballom and on the bump is gar deleno and it's actually gar deleno a guy you need to focus on on the mound is leading all pitchers with his eight trick plays on tour and meanwhile for Chase AUP beating all party animals with those 130 trick plays and for Dustin bber last Saturday had a 22 game trick play streak snap against the bananas he's going to try and start a new one here tonight in Salt Lake City let's zoom in on deleno here on his third world tour hailing from Callahan Florida he's been a party animal in all three tours in banana land and he just gets better with age it's unbelievable what we're seeing from Garrett deleno making his 22nd start this season eight wins and four losses on tour and he's having an incredibly strong month of August a 1 and0 record 13 and a third Innings pitched nine strikeouts a 2.02 earned run average and averaging three outs in 3 minutes and 20 seconds if we can sneak a quick look at the bananas lineup you'll see Dr Meadows at the top then Dan oerst and Eric Jones Jr reelex yattis cleaning it up and Dr first pitch swinging high pop shallow left center it's going to fall in for a knock good job by Hampton firing that ball in keeps Meadows at first with a blue facee hit excellent work by Rees Hampton to be there try and keep the Speedy Dr Meadows from getting an extra bag there just a professional play overall from Hampton this is a promising start for the bananas on the bottom of the first tour leader in batting average and on base percentage leads off first as deleno gets a strike on the the outside corner here to Dan Oberst o and two firm fast ball from Garrett five pitch mix foring two seam cut fast balls curveball into change up to round it [Music] out good job there by Dan ends up chasing a pitch but gets a piece of [Applause] it always a thrilling battle between these two best of friends in banana land a lot of sparring on the D Jitsu mats both huge MMA enthusiasts dragging right's always on the line that one bounces in front of the plate Meadows trying to get to second and he will aggressive base running pays off that ball barely got away from ball Home Tyler gillums greenl special base running system on display right there pressure bursts pipes well for Dr Meadows a man who is not shy about taking the extra bag and getting aggressive leis saw all the way back when he was a Collegiate banana perfect in his stolen base attempts now finds himself in scoring position as this one is popped to Dustin babber who will receive the banana ball behind his back for the first party animals trick play of the night that was delightful from the man who goes by Derek Ginger around these parts never seen somebody make a behind the back snag on a little flare like that before and made it look so nonchalant at the same time with the inning winning run in scoring position nonetheless 10 count here on Eric Jones Jr has 25 walk-offs on the tour that's second most in banana land only Trails Michael vitam and de comes up empty on the off speed there from deleno AJ having a tremendous third T hitting 335 it's 437 on base percentage only a point behind the doctors for the tour lead and of course his nine home runs pacing the way for the bananas yeah for most of the season it's been Eric Jones Jr has been leading all players in home runs now finds himself one behind Jake skull he's actually yet to collect a home run here in the month of August which would be the first time that has happened since all the way back in the beginning of the tour in February as he swings 3-1 and fouls this one behind the dish talk about it a lot on these broadcasts but it Bears repeating this is where banana ball is so tough on pitchers Ball Four will score Meadows from second the bananas would win the inning that's exactly what deleno fires nowhere close EJ grabs his 26th inning in of the year as the doctor with a backhand spring onto home plate Anders lead one point to nothing well that's just an added element to Eric Jones Jr's game the third most Ball Four sprints on this banana Squad and it leads to the bananas first point in this ball game one- nothing bananas after an inning of play [Applause] and we say goodbye to True TV we say hello to YouTube We toss it right down to Jesse so that you guys can get a little bonus to here on the promotion side things home and all they want is a big hug well we're going to change that up and make

take to witness our young sport how about that 01 change up Noah Fisher well out in front no nnick was able to strand a man on third in the first this one chopped to Jackson Olen tough play up the middle momentum was taking him out towards left as he fired to strike over to EJ that is impressive range from Jackson Olson took the first step he needed to towards that middle of the infield and made a really nice crossbody throw at the same time and he's continued to get praise from his buddy at the short stop position Ryan Cox just says every day Jackson Olsen is getting better and better as a second baseman Jason Swan ahead of ball and no strikes what a quick look there hitting 308 in his second tour tough play here Danny Hosley oh from The Outfield grass that was a laser beam across the diamond for out number two the boys in the infield flashing the leather here behind Noah nnick and quickly into the second inning it's two outs in just 1 minute and 12 [Applause] seconds Tanner Tinder Thomas steps in and gets little Sweet Chin Music Tander in his third world tour he been terrific offensively every time he suits up in banana land that goes back to 2018 and 19 Summers when he was a Collegiate banana fired that one right back up at n and has himself a two- out single it is unbelievable Tanner Thomas despite the Lefty Lefty matchup has really been the bane of Noah nik's EX resistance this season batting 471 against him and he's also reached base an additional seven times via Ball Four Sprints and hit by [Music] pitches there's a guy you got to keep a close eye on on the base paths as well former hokei leads off first base Dustin babber takes a curveball just a hair below the [Applause] [Music] knees more off speed once again low those no strikes on the party animal second [Applause] basement now going back up the middle it's another knock Thomas will go Station to Station now two party animals on the bags with two down well that feels good for Dustin babber he

man one of the most unique trips to home plate I've seen in 5 years of broadcasting banana [Applause] ball that guy is speed look at him go Salt Lake City the winter sports Olympic capital of the United States so the folks to lend us one of those sweet uniforms for the skiers as Reese tries to figure out how to get out of his skis just shred a little Nar what more would you expect from a made of Manhattan Beach California now I thought shreding Nar was for snowboarders only I did not know skiers can shred on I think they can I think I could be very wrong says the guy from Athens Georgia a skiing Haven all right re is going to keep the ski boots on and take a swing in a Miss looks like traction might be a bit of a problem yes he sends this one deep out to Center Reese Hampton at the track it's gone Rees alatus dead Central walks off the second inning well when you're wearing the big boots that reelex theis has got on we're only trying to swing for the fences and that is now his third home run in his last five games for the Savannah bananas who all celebrate skiing behind him as he comes around to touch home [Music] PL you can't make this stuff up that's 420 ft to dead center Alexius banged it off the B ey plenty of room to spare for super another couple looks at the inning ending swing manners are up two points to nothing two innings in here at Salt Lake [Music] City YouTube that's one of the coolest things I've seen in my life let's get it down to Mao so we can dance our way to the Third [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] TR [Applause] lot of Cheers mostly booze for the BYU [Applause] mascot how about Cosmo the cougar joining Mao Harrison and the Fellas to dance us to the third inning here [Music] [Applause] tonight and fired up with the boys lot of Cheers more booze than anything though from the full capacity crowd here in Salt Lake City it's a little more UT's territory I must say but you could hear the occasional cheer for Cosmo guy sure got some moves it's my dear friend Paige Dennis so eloquently put it in high school any publicity is good publicity just good to get a reaction two balls and no strikes here on Jordan Hussein mnik has already spun two scoreless frames Posley got it between the legs rifle across the diamond he's putting on a defensive clinic at the Hot Corner three unbelievable plays already in this ball game and the last two have come with trick plays as well for Danny do it all now up to 41 on the Tories you see the between the legs transition and the perfect throw over to EJ at first rusin's as fast as you're legally allowed to build a human being it's not like it was Jorge poada busting it down the line that was that was a gutsy move by Danny D we're back at the top of the order and nik's going to break out a little dance with Olen Cox and Meadows as his backup dancers Bill getting into it as well chopped right to Cox who pulls off three trick plays he'll only be credited with one it's a trick play out but he rips off three tricks nonetheless for out number two what was just perfect positioning in 322 defense as you see Cox little between the legs transition himself kiss up the ball and then throw over to EJ quick couple outs here in the top of the third now chase aov the number two hitters we'll check in with super Reese out and right Sam Balman what's going on hey Bo Josh you got the Superman Reese Alexi didn't have time to change reys talk to me about the home run there oh you need this oh that's Reese guys that's that's all on me that's my fault guys he doesn't have cleats on there's don't go through oh my goodness don't throw on reys he's got no cleats he's wearing a ski suit don't don't run on this guy don't run ree uh explain the swing the first swing looked uncomfortable yeah first swing was horrible I knew the Lena was going to come out me with the fast ball he using stilts his Bat shout out stilts don't uh honestly wasn't too happy I was using his Bat I was like can give me my bat but it helps cuz it's lighter my bat's too heavy for those boots so what did you just hit the Home Run CU you figured it's going to be too much work to run around the bases in these ski boots yeah I mean the SK the ski boots felt like they were 20 lbs and I just knew if I were to be able to jog somehow it's what the people want so that's what we just had to do explain the emotion off I mean from skiing in reese obviously you're an avid skier as B and Josh pointed out in California I'm sure a lot of experience on the mountains and then swinging and clocking a home run what's going through your mind tell you what we've played in three or four MLB stadiums so far and I've never been more nervous on a baseball field than that cuz that was hard and I'm predominantly a snowboarder first I haven't I haven't skied since like I was eight but I really tell him that but you've been on the mountain before Reese are we in the right position no we're not where do we need yeah easy Reese Let's Walk in together uh so we had a discussion before the game beo Josh just for friends at home uh Reese is really deciding which bat to use we went through which bat had more home runs and then still bat you going to keep that one around then so Stills came up to me and said I just got to start using this bat more often but I don't know I don't got the boots on now so it might just be a oneand done thing I think I'm going go back to my bet lot to think about Boco Josh Reese Alexi Otis what can't this guy do Olympics 2020 whatever he'll probably be there thanks so much Sam let's toss it down to Jesse they're going to have to go get the Sheep the pillows the comforter and the first one to dive on and hit the sack will be the winner Yep this is weird but we're going to try it on your mark get set go and look at them go C we got one down all right there's your bed right there it looks like Tyson's getting it going no you got to go all each Corners all four corners all right there we go all four corners oh this is not making the way we hoped it there's one all right this is an interesting bed look at the speed she's trying to catch up here we go look at Kelsey go all right we got two pillows you got to catch up we're going to the comforter all right and the final one let's see what's going to happen here you got to get the comforter on good speed and there we have our winner and might as well hit the sack just because oh right at the head and let's hear it for our winners l and Tyson congratulations to Lauren and Tyson are Victors and hit the sack as we head to the bottom of the third inning derck deleno has gotten no run support from his offense it was a walk-off Sprint from Eric Jones Jr that won the first then walk-off home run by ree Alexius to win the second and that was an Illuminating interview Reese had with Sam there barefooted out in right field and hit the walkoff Homer with stilts his back foul ball not caught off the bat of Jackson Olsson I mean sometimes you're just looking for a little bit of luck up at the plate I'll tell you what I bet if stilts comes up to bat tonight he's going to feel pretty blessed swinging that piece of lumber after what Mr alexiis accomplished as this one hit over to Jason Swan a couple of dribbles and a feed under the legs to Garrett deleno at the first Bas bag Jason Swan with the party animal second trick play tonight Swan he's up to 35 now on the tour in 45 [Music] tries added some spice the first out here in the bottom of the third ly is experiencing a bit of a power surge as of late as of late rather n's catcher in his seventh year I didn't hit his first home run until year four he's got two here in year seven and the doubles are coming as well well what really stands out 38% of Bill's total hits this season have gone for extra bases last year that rate was 21% we've seen quite the offensive Evolution and how about this we've seen a trick play Evolution from Jake skull as well trapping that one outside of the m and bowing to all the fans now nine trick plays in this ball game game already between the bananas and party animals we're not yet through the third inning neither is Garrett deleno he's got to get through Robert Anthony Cruz the former Washington Nationals minor Leaguer rack with seven home runs here in his rookie banana ball season fourth overall on the Tores putting up some tremendous numbers all the while hitting 320 should not be forgotten when you look at the isolated power numbers for Robert Anthony Cruz has a 206 Mark which is considered excellent by many fortunately for R he will strike Out Swinging Garrett eleno actually just registers three outs in 1 minute and 48 seconds on the mound for the party animals first time the bananas have been held scoreless in an inning tonight ground ground out fly out and the strike out what a change up there from deleno he holds serve ners still lead two nothing after three and for us here on YouTube the banana band blasting away in Smith's [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ballpark YouTube I must confess I cannot stop looking at the wasach mountains out in distance they are [Applause] [Music] Majestic no idea Zack vangelo is trying to communicate something with usor [Music] [Music] I don't know how Zach doesn't yep there it is banana band just finished up another unbelievable set laring on their horns slapping the drums to the Delight of our full capacity crowd on hand here in the capital of the Beehive State Salt Lake City Utah will Charlie in there for strike one from Noah nnick who's working on three scoreless Innings so far tonight he's got four five and six due to swing it for the party animals as Vincent Chapman calls time dust off home plate and sends his mask a very impressive 93 ft high in the air well the altitude I think will help Vincent Chapman there it's going to put up some Elite numbers here in Salt Lake City makes sense we're over 4200 ft above sea level it's got to help with the mask tosses don't ask us scientifically why that's the case it's kind of one of those unexplainable phenomenons it's it taking full advantage corette grounded out his first time and that's not a surprise because Brett's one of eight party animals who have been retired via the ground out in fact all nine outs for no is Nick have been on grounders the only reason why he's got nine is cuz one of the most a double play and that's going to end that streak broadcasters Jinx in full effect it's Alexi Otis behind the back with a twirl AV version of the tornado catch there for everybody well finally the outfielders are getting in on the trick play fun we saw Jake go with one in the bottom of the third for the party animals now res selects the ois with trick play number 31 of his season didn't get the full 360 rotation that he dreams of on it but it was on the Run we can give him a break for what he was able to pull off look like Noah off Fisher thinks it's sweater weather here in Salt [Applause] Lake I firmly disagree it's 80° right now [Music] [Applause] I'm sure lot of the Year here in Salt Lake City becomes Sweater Weather but on August 30th we're just not there Noah okay now I get why they're doing the song it's the excuse to get rid of the jerseys [Music] is that a sweater looks like a [Music] Snee it's from One Fish Two Fish Blue Fish for I think right oh from thex holy smokes could land the plane well the thing is they had the fishes in that one as well Dr SE loved the fish very true he was an environmentalist at heart I just combobulated myself it's pretty [Music] embarrassing big big Seuss guy growing up at his complete works in one giant like encyclopedia siiz book wow correct no wonder you're so good with your words you're just reading from the master I mean this thing's got like coattails on it where did they find this sweater fiser into his own Dugout Clips Dalton P who looks like is a okay thankfully currently being ridiculed by Conor Higgins and Company if they' help their teammate out Peter just misses the outside corner you big sweater guy love them me too big I'm a big big sweater guy always have been there's the circle change as nnick gets his first strike out of the ball game he's going to stanky leg makes [Applause] sense great execution there that's what's made Noah Nik so darn effective throwing that change up to the right-handed batters on that outside corner getting them to expand their Zone just a little bit as we go from a man in a sweater to a man in a fur coat Jason Swan up to the dish [Applause] if you had to wear one on a first date either nnick sweater or Swan's vest what's the choice for a coat wow I'm going bold that's shocking I want to I want to be [Applause] [Music] remembered that one legs Fair down the left field line Swan gets good lumber on the off speed and he he's going to think about three slams the brakes nice throw from rack on a hop to Hosley it was excellent hustle from Jason Swan now with three doubles in the month of August and really fueling the middle of this party animals lineup as it's now up to Tanner Thomas to try and come through who is one for one against mnik in the ball game Swan pulled off little rubbing the belly celebration there that was made famous in the Little League World Series big congratulations to Florida taking home their first Little League World Series Championship last Sunday fantastic final game against Taiwan thrilling stuff Extra Innings bonus contos with Little League World Series on the line that was that was a thrill to [Applause] watch and I don't think it could have ended in any more heartbreaking fashion for [Applause] Taiwan well bunt throw the ball to first base no one's covering Florida wins nice stab there by Jackson Olsen tosses it under the leg to EJ over at first and it's four scoreless Innings on the bump for no [Music] [Applause] Isn the rookie left-hander continues to roll on the mound for the bananas party animals going to have to figure something out offensively to get back into this ball game in Salt Lake City and YouTube It's hey baby o clock upper deck on your feet cuz we're going to get a big ay baby so I need everyone hands in the air hands all the way in the air all right shark let's get it going let's clap our hands here we go this is a tremendous arena for banana ball holy moly you guys look so good tonight it's the fields with the BMS that just add now let's get those arms waving here we go [Applause] Pizzazz good time to be looking out at Smith's Ballpark too golden hour my [Applause] beloved mountains have the sun shining right on them [Applause] and this ballpark wasn't just kind of a destination park for a lot of these players keep also because of that elevation and we've saw it benefit ree Alexius so far in this ball game and we've seen a lot of guys take some mighty swings already tonight we're hey babing here in Smith ballpark in Salt Lake City Utah hope you're hey babing with us at home we're on the road wherever you are joining us here in Virtual banana land on True TV in the bananas YouTube page welcome thanks for spending your big tiger Friday with us and listen to Jesse Cole give yourselves a round of applause it's not easy pulling off the hey baby dance the directions can be [Applause] confounded when do you do the windshield wipers when do you do the hit thrust should you go left or should you go right there's many dilemas you reach during that one I used to be a chronic right before my left guy as was on I think that's the biggest blunder oh took me a long time to come around to see the light yep windshield wipers and the little grape findes left first ball in a strike here on Danny Hosley Garrett Delano's fourth inning of work allowed walk-offs in the first and the second but then is coming off a one two three bottom of the third for a fourth time he has no support from the offense so he's got to keep the Bananas off the board if he wants to keep this deficit at just two points bananas have a good guy up at the plate to try and set the table in the bottom of the fourth Hosley averaging almost a hit per game this month and we saw him post a pretty strong month of August offensively last year where he batted 300 with five of his nine hits going for extra bases bottom three in the lineup this one rolled to the left side Acuff attacking between the legs nice throw on the run for out number one Chase aov Shor handed as they come over at the short stop position now finds himself up to 131 trick BL play on the tour of course probably not looking at a season where he can eclipse the 200 trick play Plateau but most certainly gunning for 150 before The Season's end this one chopped through the right side base hit for Ryan Cox a Seeing Eye Single for the Glo magician yeah I think 69 trick plays across the last 13 plus games would be a tall order for a to come through on well it would be very nice accomplishment to join what we expect to be Ryan Cox at the 200 trick play Plateau coxy already with four tonight up to 182 on the year they swap him out for Malakai Flash the kid Mitchell ander's designated Runner who can pinch run one time every trip through the order and who's going to be joining Josh and I in the booth in the top of the sixth inning for another edition of Impractical bananas going to have Cowboy Kyle most likely should be pitching at that point he's going to join in and Alex zegler bana lands bat tricker is going to be our victim while he plays first base we've seen what he can do with the bat balancing it on his chin we've seen what he's able to do in the trick play Department with his glove now Ziggy getting in on a little entertainment fund as well Leno checking on flash as he should Malachi tied for the tour leading run scored facing all base runners with 38 steals he's only been caught four times there's always extra careful with Garrett deleno on the mound as we've seen a couple times over the past few seasons deleno with pickoffs at first base of Flash the kid 02 to De just like Malachi leading off first base Michael vitamin de in his fourth banana ball World Tour he been a banana the entire time Davey Florida former White Sox minor leager Notre Dame linebacker that one pass deleno in between Acuff and babber it's going to get Malachi over to third excellent piece of two strike hitting there from Deep wasn't necessarily hard hit but hit in the right spot party animals just had a little bit of a pull shift on him de able to sneak that one between the middle infielders and extend now a four 14 game on base streak to the top of the order we go tour leader in batting average Dr hitting 353 what a second tour David Ray meow is having had a blue base hit his first time scored the inning winning run in the first party animals surprisingly have the infield back they're going to try and turn two on Dr Who's just about as fast as anybody in banana land going to let Flash run home unimpeded it seems what would be the inning winning run this one fouled off of Meadows count one and two well for Garett eleno you know as much of a competitor as he is the one thing on his mind right now is trying to get the strike out of Meadows at the dish and of course we know Meadows with the lowest pay rate of any player on tour he struck out just 2.8% of his total plate appear es this season and Garrett deleno does not care one bit his fourth pitch and he gets the punch out and does his crab celebration only the eighth K on the tour compared to 28 ball for Sprints earned from Meadows another look nice cutter perfect placement and then the crab celebration it's now the fate of the inning in the hands of Dan Oberst [Music] [Applause] he's going to take off for second first offerings fouled [Applause] away soft contact for Dan his first time jammed on a heater Lo the ball right to Dustin bber at second it's been a tough go this month for Dan batting just a hair above the Mendoza Line for the bananas he's trying to snap out of a streak he does not have a hit with a runner in scoring position this month that would be an opportune time for Danny barrels party animals let Dee take second base flash at third is the man who matters Lena a well executed pitch away from escaping goes with the gas challenges Dan at the top of the zone and Ober spoils it they're typically 91 to 93 with the fast ball remarkable change up which he will bury down and into righties up going off speed right there Ober spoils another deleno also has to be careful with the type of Chase pitches he might choose to utilize one gets away from ball home behind the dish with flash the kid at third base he's trying to score on a possible wild pitch it's going to be foul tipped but into bol's B saves it from the dirt and deleno escapes a sticky situation it's still two nothing bananas with four Innings behind us as we toss it down to the field Tory bre United States there are over 4 ,000 children and teens in foster care without a permanent home to raise awareness and bring families together we created a nonprofit called Bananas Foster our organization is dedicated to celebrating those in the Foster Care Community while educating and inspiring others to get involved tonight we are celebrating the plat family right here in Utah there are close to three ,000 children and teens in foster care Christine and Brennan wanted to make a difference they became a licensed foster family 13 years ago since then they have welcomed 21 children into their home and adopted three into their family forever fans please join us in celebrating the plat family for making a difference right here in your community [Music] [Applause] family [Applause] [Applause] it's good tips right there sharp I've always been saying you need to text 50155 I forgot you have to text bananas to 50155 I was missing an ingal step though just learned it tonight big shout out to the plaque family Christine and Brennan real life superheroes out here in Utah as you can see in the background Cowboy Kyle leix the seven-year banana is going to replace noan isnick on the mound as we head to the fifth well he is following a phenomenal outing from Noah nnic in this Ballpark and placed with elevation nnick inducing nine ground outs against the party animals and now Cowboy Kyle takes over out for his 27th time this season owning a 5 and two record on tour and what stands out Cowboy Kyle with a 3.6% ball four Sprint rate this season the lowest Mark among all bananas so another guy like Noah Nik who pounds that Strike Zone and for Kyle a 93 ER Plus on the tour very close to being a tour average pitcher Kyle Bourne and Arlington Texas raised in Richmond Hill Georgia it's to toss to his seven-year battery mate going back to their freshman campaign Bill ly and Kyle LS at the University of North Georgia back and fall of 2016 they've lived together ever since both at school and in banana lands Justin babber on the second Pitch he sees deep out to right plenty of room for reelex theotis tries to plus his tornado catch we saw it earlier tonight on about a 180 normally it's a 360 that was going to be a 720 but he finally came up empty on one of his tornado catch tries and that ends a streak for Reese Alexus he had converted each of his last 22 trick plays successfully and has been talking about trying to add just a little extra spin on the tornado catch I they tried to do it right there and unfortunately came up empty as babber finds himself in scoring position Robson ball home turns around to swing it from the left [Applause] side rounded out from the right side his first time ball and a strike K born and raised Phoenix Arizona area around sixth grade moved to LA that's been home ever since pokes that one right back up the middle neor getting a wave around Meadows has a great arm it's going to be up the first base line nobody backing up home that's where luing should have been so ball home gets an extra 90 and the rare error from Meadows a good piece of hitting for Bron ball came into the night batting just 143 with runners in scoring position but he finally able to get those party animals on the board and also take advantage of a throw that gets away from ly play party animals having a house party to [Applause] [Music] celebrate goes a movie back in the '90s house party I haven't seen it I haven't seen it either but I'll take your word for it I can offer no Insight on the contents of said movie is Alexius perfect throw home Bill can't handle it right between the legs Hussein trying to stretch it to Third and he will so it's an RBI single for the Houston kid he brings ball home home and the party animals after being blanked through four Innings by no and isnip thanks to a trick play Miss to start the top for the fifth and pushed across two runs anytime you can get offense especially as the visiting team you're trying to get as many runs as you can in an inning and that's why you're seeing the animals getting so aggressive with their base running as Hussein gets the send home and will score on a sacrifice slide from ree Hampton now three in the top of the fifth for the boys in black and pink I would say Josh an E2 on Bill ly to get Hussein from second to third just right through the wickets as Hampton grabs the sack fly and now Cowboy Kyle finally gets to go from the wind up again uhoh Jay zov sends that thing to the burn sixth home run of the tour for Chase it's a four spot now for the animals starting to pile it on against the bananas the move to the bullpen not exactly working out here the bananas in the top of the fifth inning in the west coast has P pretty good to chase a cup this season we saw a pretty similar home run he was able to hit off of Noah Noah nisn in Fresno California in May that one was part of backto back jacks on back to back pitches to ree Hampton and then Chase AA this one well that one scolded and first pitch Jake skull seats he bounces it off the right center field wall and he's going to be in standing at second he's now got a triple and a double on the ball game party animals breaking out the big bats here in the top of the fifth some more loud contact right [Applause] there gon cornette hoping to join the party ground out and a fly out so far tonight great scoop there by ly to keep SC at second [Music] [Applause] all started with the trick play Miss from Alexi oison [Applause] right singles from ballom and Hussein two guys at the bottom of the party animals order set of ree Hampton for the sack fly that with the base is empty Chase AUP with the smashed home run it's now a 2-2 count on cornet the party animals have got to feel very confident in the fact that they can claim their first point this ball game and cut the Banana's deficit to just one Cowboy Kyle though despite giving up four runs in the top half you remember you're only likely going to give up just one point at the end of the day the next inning is completely fresh slate corette Skies this one to Center Meadows back pedaling back flipping can't make the play what a disastrous inning for the nanners as cornette will straight spots with skull at second and it's now five home for the animals the from meows knowing that the bananas pretty out of this inning he figured he would try and put on the show for the fans and come up with the trick play out unfortunately does not pay off and the inning continues for cowboy Kyle now over 6 and 1/2 minutes into the inning as re selexia trps this one down towards the warning track TR by the right field foul pole no trick play needed he'll take he'll get that out the standard way so L's dispatches no a Fisher now sets his sights on Jason Swan ninth party animal to come to the dish here in the [Applause] fifth while the party animal should feel tremendously confident that their five runs are going to hold up they did literally blow a five run lead in an inning eight nights ago back in Savannah [Music] Georgia this one through the right side and knock for Swan throw home from Alexius is up the line as Jason Takes second slides past the bag and that's where Ryan Cox gets the tag down on Swan we hope Cox is okay he's getting up gingerly but is going to jog without any help back to the Dugout good sign for the nanners is the animals erupt for six runs in the top of the fifth Garrett deleno finally has some offense who would have liked if his boys could have provided some earlier spread it out a little bit but he's got six runs to play with here in the fifth wow when it rains it pours oh baby boy was it fun to see Chase aov hit Acuff hit another home run though I'll tell you what that was a moon shot all right friends it's going to be 345 due to swing it for the nners see if they can't get out of this well six run hole they've worked themselves into OD wager probably not I think gar deleno is going to earn a point here hot take well we know grick deleno 20 more points earned than points lost for the party animals welcome back to banana ball here on True TV as you can see the bananas lead two nothing in the all important points department but the party animals lead the fifth inning by six runs as EJ flares a base knock the other way to get things started in the fifth of course the bananas are in the business of base runners they need Five Guys to reach before they can dream about tying this inning in banana ball every inning is a game within itself you win an inning you get a point bananas walked off the first and the second which is why they lead two to nothing and party animals have their back boy drop the bat it's going to go back been there before too busy flexing to remember that actually taking the bat back with you is the most important part of your [Applause] job party animals were held scoreless through four by Noah nnick they put up six runs to two bananas trick plays missed as well as three extra base hits as Alexius flies out he had the walkoff home run back in the second that doubled the ners lead at the time we saw what the trickl missed from Alexi off at the top of the fifth that party animals rally started innocently enough could very well be the same way for the bananas here in the bottom half we saw that player single from Eric Jones Jr now it's Jackson Olsson three home runs cross his last 11 contests R is the change up there Delena was wondering why he didn't get a strike call on the first pitch he threw is he working quick getting the ball back and firing it right back as Olson fouls that into his Dugout looks like he got split to theam mass he rips off his jersey to let the folks here at Salt Lake City Utah know he's a okay a charge at Jackson there [Applause] too foul territory ball home contending with Olen and no one's going to get the ball Jason Swan couldn't find iton ball home think just thought Swan was going to take care of it but he reacted little late as that they go back to fled Earth yeah I think just a miscommunication more than anything else and also saw ball just kind of hanging around hung up with Jackson ol who was still standing in the Batters box and trying to get him to move think you would have seen Bol Rush a little more you thought he was going to be taking priority over that foul ball another life for Jackie rounded out his first time and he strikes out here boy Delena that change up had some insane movement on it it's his fourth strike out of the game well that was a tough played appearance for Jackson Olson little bit of a confusing situation with the foul ball but also just the way that Garett Delo started to attack him just rapid fire pitch after pitch after pitch and then after the foul ball things slowing down a little bit that also includes that breaking ball you saw out of the hand of Del [Applause] the party animals one out away from earning their first point of the ball [Applause] game lroy takes the front door curveball for strike [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one this one driven deep to right skull back on the track jumping catch up against the wall as deleno puts up another zero the party animals win the fifth inning six runs to nothing and they now only Trail the bananas by one point I hope you have [Applause] fun look at the inning winning snag from Skull the celebration from ball looks like the bananas have something special cooking up here and would wager another inning of work for cowboy Kyle Le I certainly hope so because we're planning on having him join us on the mic it's going to be another round of Impractical bananas we get to the top of the sixth inning with the bananas leading two points to one this time we get a mic on Cowboy Kyle and he's one of our pranksters Alex zagler over at first base is going to be our Target as we've welcomed Alon Mitchell Flash the kid into the booth

you're the man there it [Applause] is all right made famous by Flash the kid he said all right time to go rip a [Applause] bag well said [Music] [Applause] as you can tell the party animals are clearly preparing for a bit of theat as we head to the bottom of the six they've got a great chance to tie this game at two points each they lead the inning by a run thanks to that Jordan Hussein triple welcome back to banana ball on True TV the scoreboard you see lies to you that the scoreboards just flat out wrong the bananas do lead two points to one but the party animals lead the inning one run to nothing that's pretty important as the boys in black and pink Sprint out from the stands and are going to continue this dance around the mound as Brady kis has emerged as the first man out of the animals Bullpen party animals turning to the Lefty who recently joined this squad after starting the season on banana balls developmental team the visitors unfortunately for kais the last time he took them m a victim of the Home Run ball surrendered walkoff home runs to both reys alexiadis and Bill l Bo now try and put up a solid frame for the party animals and tie up this ball game at the exact same time he's got one run to work with after kis gave up the walk-off home runs in the sixth and the seventh to LY and alexiadis it was Robert Anthony Cruz he blasted a home run in the eighth to make it three straight Innings ending in walk-off homers by the ners first time ever seen that in banana ball history was in the 195th game ever played this is 196 K shows off why his teammates claim he might have the nastiest stuff in the party animal stat it's Robert Anthony Cruz swinging like a tight slider there throws a lot of fast balls works in the change up as well when he's cooking he's going to throw pretty much what of every five pitches will be a heater and yet would really classify himself as a change up pitcher for the party animals and falls behind Danny Hosley 10 then Hosley drops one into left field the bananas the run on with one out in the sixth tallest hitter please welcome Dakota STS Alin it's a big spot for the biggest athlete in the world Dakota all Britain 5' 9 in tall jumps up to 10 9 in tall for help with his 5ft leg extenders take a look at his numbers offensively here on his fourth world tour punches that one foul he's been unbelievable on the mound it's still a formidable fo at the dish well the last time we saw him up the plate was in his first career banana ball start and a walkoff single to get Sean fluk last Saturday will now try and collect hits in backto back plate appearances and we've even seen his Bat do damage for other guys at the plate Rees alexiis collected his solo Homer tonight with that all Britain Lumber going to spoil this one out of the stadium [Music] [Applause] not seen a foul ball caught for an out so far tonight here in Smith's [Music] Ballpark K trying to keep a close eye on Hosley over at first who represents the inning tying run now delivers a two- two this one poked to Second baver bounces it to Acuff and now they've got plenty of time Chase bounces it to Swan tried to grab it behind his back could not come through on what would have been a triple trick and still hustling down the line he's going to be a board on the fielders tro good hustle there for Dakota spils all Britain about as hard as he can run on those spils and you really just appreciate the try made there from Jason Swan to try and collect one of the finer triple trick plays we'd have seen in party animals franchise history would have earned the point for the party animals as well as you see flash play got down to the field a a record time he's in the booth with us in the top of this inning now he's pinch running over at first for the second time tonight Anders designated Runner Michael De represents the inning winning run he a headit two balls and no strikes and a single his first time and well out in front of a two- change up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's the fast ball and it ends up plunking the pride of Davey Florida he's going to ask for a pillow he's going to go after K and we've got a pillow fight both benches emptying this has turned into a full-blown [Applause] frocket pandemonium in Salt Lake City 2 as shark calls time on the pillow pip de will take his free base you can see all of a sudden Michael De signaling to The Dugout that he needed something and kind of reminiscent you know you'll see a batter start to walk down the first base think about charging the mound this time de just wanted to get a little more creative and go about it with a pillow fight smart to go to the mound with a weapon instead of empty-handed [Music] like Bryce Harper when he charged the mound started his battle with a fling of his helmet Hunter strick San Francisco said Dee held on to his weapon he's aboard for the second time tonight in tying run and scoring position in winning run at first two1 count here on Dr Meadows at the top of the order [Music] [Applause] it two and two beautiful catch on a Ricochet but catches on deflections do not count as outs in bandall has to be clean straight off the bat with the hand glove hat thighs we had seen couple weekends ago in North Virginia all four will tie the inning [Music] Runners will be off on the pitch here's the payoff and it's bounced to the left side and through throw home from fiser ball home can't handle it and de's going to end up at third meos follows into second what a clutch piece of two out hitting from the doctor well the decision to put Malachi Mitchell into the game also pays off of the Savannah bananas and they have the luxury of Dr Meadows who ears the best batting aage with runners in scoring position on the tour a 476 mark up at the dish and coming through yet again for his ball Club gos up to 25 runs driven in now Alex zagler with the Inning on the line de leads off third 90 ft away from it would be a third bananas Point ready in the two for danst going from the extra hitter spot to handle in first base now two balls and a strike the kid out of Butler Pennsylvania po it foul we got to hear from Z's legendary dad Bruce the half inning ago her best wishes go out to Mr Bruce zagler back in the Keystone State legendary banana ball and BTV f one the toughest guys that I've ever had the pleasure of coming across answer's got nothing on Mr zagler good job there by K to Bear Down ends up getting Alex swinging trick play Miss allows the bananas to tie the inning but they cannot double up the party anal so it's still a 2-1 lead in the all important points Department as we head to the seven three Innings still left on the docket ners lead by [Music] one are going to have their Ms and buckets and you have to decide who the best fighter is here's the best part the loser gets dunked with bucket water from the mop Mr cleans are we ready all right they starting positions fans you will choose the winner on your mark get set [Applause] fight there they go oh on Battle for the ages oh he's splashed them and there they [Music] go they are duking it out who is the cleanest who is the best Mr Clean they're all over the place he's spinning 6 5 4 3 2 1 Stop The Clock fierce battle currently underway well it was underway until the young Professor stepped in and broke it up battle between Mr CLE who is the Mr cleanest there's your guy Zack Phillips the new man on the mound for the bananas second guy out of their pen Towing in the slap for the 48th time this season which is leading all players on this year's World Tour Philly also leading all bananas in minutes per inning this season averaging three outs in 3 minutes and 45 seconds and again he has not allowed an earned run since June 15th against banana balls third team in the firefighters and on the first pitch it's Jackson Olsen with range a great throw under the legs to Alex Zigler and it's Olen arguably having his most impressive defensive performance at second base All Season the guts it takes to send that thing under the leg over to Ziggy as the party animals are going to challenge in zler was able to keep his foot on the B each team in banana land has a challenge as do the fans for the fans when they use it they lose it no matter what for the teams if they are right and the Call's overturned they get to retain their challenge so on first glance looks like John burn first base umpire got it right we've got a minute to make the [Applause] call there it is is clear as day put on the bag well he's getting the ball yep call stands good play Alex Zager call [Music] stands on the field which means the party animals lose their challenge now they will gain another if this thing goes to Showdown but that's something we can tackle we get some bonus banana ball here tonight [Music] mik fasis looks confounded can't comprehend how zigy kept the foot on the bag there most people can't comprehend most of Ziggy's capabilities guys's got four Guinness World Records he's got some of his moves in fortnite and Apex Legends it's not an every kind of guy over at first base he's no mere Immortal as Hosley takes care of skull throughout number two and it was skull getting down the line very quickly which is why Hosley decided to go to the bare hand pick that ball on a bounce throw it across the diamond to grab the out tough play here from Olen he bounces it two trick plays on the inning for the great eight and it's a speedy one two3 frame from Zack Phillips and if you take out the time that the challenge took that was a one minut minute and 16 second inning for Zack Phillips the 16th fastest in banana ball history as we go down to party animals correspondent Drake to P Josh it's time for a party at a m speed tour follow me

another guy who's been victim of the long ball surrender to walk a home run to Jackson olon in Cleveland earlier this month and we saw he was that man on the mound who surrendered a third straight walk up to the bananas last week and and that long ball coming off the bat of Robert Anthony Cruz was 400 14 ft to dead center off the batter ey High Chopper Jordan Hussein behind the back smooth as silk and it's one pitch one out here for Porter well that's the start he's looking for and what's also nice to see for Porter keeping that ball on the ground not allowing the bananas to try and Elevate there out of Oakland California sces down the man out of Manhattan Beach exotis cleared the 420 foot wall in the second inning walkoff home run while he was in United States skiing gear helmet

Vincent Chapman Reese trying to make it two bases and gun down at second stupendous Sprint defense by the party animals they get it to all seven fielders behind the pitcher and catcher just in time to grab super Reese and we've got the confetti popped behind the bananas dug out the fans using their challenge tonight this one is lost immediately upon its use as I mentioned a half inning ago so let's take a look big skull was the seventh and final party animal who needed to touch the ball and the tag is there in plenty of time calls confirmed great work out there by Jeff [Music] [Applause] clap textbook stuff from the animals great stuff they clearly were not baffled by any means by the late call from Vincent Chapman behind the plate on that ball for Sprint leitis thought he might have a little bit of an edge as thinking they may need to take a little more time to start to get towards that second base bag but instead the animals with a great transition especially among those three outfielders at the very end this one bounc to AUP between the legs over to First and it's a one two three inning for Dylan Porter thanks to the Sprint defense he gets trick plays from his third baseman and short stop and it's still a 2-1 ners lead with only two innings left on the docking get one more look at the trick play from Chase AUP as we're heading to the e in YouTube you get to look

for the 25th time this season last time out pitched an inning and a third for the bananas did not give up a run to the party animals colle an NPI time of 3 minutes and 41 seconds for the bananas as the party animals batting only 263 against DJ this season which is quite a drop off from the 366 Mark they had a season ago change up is where he makes his bacon looks in a slider for two SE and cut fast ball as well Noah fiser deep down the right field line and it's going to bounce off The netting [Applause] five pitch mix from The Invader who through Sam Bowman's impressive investigative journalism seems like has spent a lot of his formative years in Jacksonville Florida this one smolder out to right center field di meow full extension that is highway robbery of Noah fer who tips his helmet in appreciation an over theh shoulder diving catch for Dr Meadow who has had a couple of misplays out in Center Field tonight for the bananas a play like that makes up for all of the mistakes what a huge first out for DJ The Invader in the eighth [Applause] inning that pitch missed inside as we now get a 1-1 count on Jason Swan who be 100% are completely sure was born and raised in Jacksonville [Applause] florid plenty of pictures have surfaced the two of these guys hanging out playing Youth Baseball together back in the day and SW right back up the middle well struck for a one

perfect 10 for 10 on the tour in his stolen base tries ol not able to handle the throw from the Roy so Jason grabs a bonus 90 along the way will bill on the throw down to Jackson olon tried to go behind the back and collect the trick play if he was able to catch swanie stealing that decision is what allowed that throw to go so arai as Eric Jones Jr Fields this one takes it to the back himself collects the trick play the bananas maintain their onepoint Edge in tonight's ball game they could double their lead in points with just one run in the bottom of the eight we'll see if that happens after this quick break and YouTube I feel like a filthy liar this is actually our longest break of the night for True TV I think we got ourselves a two-minute commercial while we turn Smith's Ballpark yellow please don't tell anybody watching on True TV I'm sure they won't notice the extra 30 seconds they have to wait to come [Music] back what a sight this is [Music] keep it [Music] going had to get a little video of that one there is something so Majestic about the lights getting to wrap all the way around with the one more time two levels of seating from foul pull to foul pole keep it going keep it going here we go and I just know I could must know those wasat mountains are staring down at us right now what a vision it must be from up [Music] there Jesse Cole I'm sure you like The View too we love you so much banana Nation now let's go [Applause] bananas you too Jesse someday I'm going to climb those mountains John someday I'm going to throw a football over [Applause] them all right we're going to talk about Ryan Rodriguez when we're back in 10 seconds on True [Music] TV Smith's Ballpark in Salt Lake City Utah turned yellow in the middle of the eighth inning As We join you again banana all live on True TV in the bananas YouTube page Ryan Rodriguez taking over on the bump for the party animals trying to put up a very important Goose EG to keep this a one-point game going into the ninth last week and he entered series finale in a major way brw gespi going down on the field and having to exit due to injury Rodriguez coming in facing Robert Anthony Cruz leaving a banana stranded in scoring position to send the ball game to showdowns again continues to get high leverage situations for the party animals who are now taking their late innings in kind of a committee ordeal Rodriguez the first man getting the try just trying to ensure that the bananas don't extend their lead at points for the final inning of play 6 seven and eight for the bananas L Roy Cruz and Hosley look at the slider there doesn't get the bite sexy Mexi wanted on it primarily a three- pitch guy cutter slider and a 126 curve but Bill Roy demolished that now as someone evidently attacked our center field camera [Applause] person now Rodriguez a bad pitch away from gifting the banana the inning winning run on base that Ball Deep to left and it's going to be foul bill got a good hold on that one bill B fli like that one was going to Le the yard but did not make too many moves to start to round the bases watching that one sail foul again this is the man who also owns the highest ball four Sprint rate on the banana so a very patient batter they try and find a way to work himself on base but instead Rodriguez goes to his signature slider and gets the punch out of theoy and you get the split to boot as well as he is fired up Bo Ryan Rodriguez is always an intense character on the mound seems like couple extra cups of coffee on this beautiful Friday in Salt Lake City guys dialed it up to 11 sneaks the cutter by Robert Anthony [Applause] Cruz tries to back door the slider just misses Bru still the man with the most success against Ryan Rodriguez of any batter this season three for six against him but Rodriguez who still has not allowed a home run yet in his banana ball rookie campaign just a few feet away from that no longer being the case on that 31 foul bomb from b l Roy good check there by rack does not bite on the slider the three and one struck out both times tonight going to do some damage and he'll take a ball for Sprint fast ball misses in and rack going to tap the brakes as he rounds first content with one base on the Sprint after we saw alexiis gun down at second and ining the go by the party animals on such a play there's no need to get aggressive try and get yourself scoring position you know your team has the lead and the bananas are going to keep Cruz on the base pass but they do have the ability to insert Malachi Mitchell into this game as well to be the designated Runner with a lot more speed than Cruz but mat is a very bright man on the base pass he's got good baseball speed seven steals he's only been caught three times board for Danny Hosley who's one for two on the [Applause] [Music] night R got a big secondary there made a big jolt towards second base and thought better of it he's the inning winning run there he goes throw from ball home ends up into center field they were not able to handle the one hopper that's a big stolen base from [Applause] R well again this is Tyler dilum using his Green Light Special base running system getting rra the sign to go ahead try and run on Bronson ball home and it pays off now Hosley with a man in scoring position and the sah Thrive a lot in those situations ation last year beating the bananas in batting average with risk first base umpire John Burns said Hosley did not go around on the check here's the 3-1 rackoff for third it's Ball Four anyhow and the bananas are going to walk off the inning that's a huge Insurance point they're up three to one with one inning to play command just gets the better of Ryan Rodriguez that's where we've seen him struggle more than anywhere else on tour this season bananas feeling a lot more comfortable going into the final inning Oley led the 2023 tour with 28 walk-offs he grabs his eighth inning Ender walk off the E here in Salt Lake City first of two games here at Smith's Ballpark what a dance from the manners led by Flash and Michael [Applause] [Music] and once they're done boogieing we now head to the ninth you see Rodriguez clearly frustrated with himself gifted the bananas their third point of the ball game on backto back ball for Sprints take a look at the rules here in the ninth every run scored will count as a point and boy the animals have had some remarkable ninth inning rallies as of late they just have not been able to turn them into a lot of W's and what's really impressive is it's come against two different guys on the mound Danny Hosley and Austin Kris Minsky and we saw last weekend impressive rallies from the party animals and they used their golden batter very effectively in the series finale sending Jake skull up to the dish and he collected that first home run in banana Ball's golden batter history would not be surprised if they turned to him here on night one in Salt Lake City school started the inning with the solo home run and then ended up with a huge two out RBI single driving the third run of the frame for the ERS that tied things up against Danny Hosley Tylo Gillum Adam byrant Ray Ortega and Company turn to Austin Chris Minsky here on night one in Su what the struggles we saw from Danny Hosley last Saturday allowing the bloat safe for the party animals it's going to be creme getting the safe situation here tonight nine saves and 11 opportunities for the bananas and there's been an above tour average pitcher with a 118 ER Plus indicating 18% better than the tour average pitcher this year and Chris Minsky a guy after he was a 2017 Collegian banana signed as a free agent by the Angels made it all the way up to Triple A which of course is right here the Salt Lake Bees Chris Minsky said he gave up the longest home run of his career good memories here in Smith's Ball Park friend then spent a year as a Chicago Cubs minor leager this is his rookie campaign in banana land noton Ball's going to get to swing it deserves to switch it and catch her two for three on the night with a run driven in hasn't tried to do too much of the plate just keeping the swing short mining two balls in the center field [Music] Tris Minsky a power pitcher averages 93 mph with the fast ball can touch 95 and has an excellent Circle change as well as a wipe out slider Roswell Georgia while he's waiting to deliver the pitch to Bronson bam getting in on the celebrations with the music as well waving his hands around before delivering the onew that's spoiled by Brony right after him with the gaps all whom nods in [Music] [Applause] appreciation see what looy and krinsky do on another one too look like they went to the change up ball saw it well [Music] and that one plunks ball home a hit by pitch and he's going to kick his way down to first base which means the party animals get to bring the inning tying run up to the dish it's going to be a golden battle for invoking their golden batter rule hitting in the place of Jordan Hussein is their golden batter Jake [Applause] sko hsein was working on a great night as well two for three with two runs driven in and the triple but how can you say no to the upside of the almighty Jake spoke again at the first golden batter home last Saturday for the party animals has two extra base hits tonight a triple and a double and for Save just six extra base hits on tour the party animals looking for one big sling to tie up this ball game 12 years of minor league baseball experience between the pitcher and hitter as Armando beta has pinched run for ball home over at first [Music] [Applause] this one popped up in the infield behind home plate Leroy has it for out number one no time for tricks for Bill ly instead will come down with the ball the standard way he is trying to avoid Jake skull having to come up and bat again against Austin kritsky instead they want to try and retire Hampton make up and end this ball game trim that magic number down to just one game to claim the season series party animals trying to get the bat back in the hands of skull who's in the hole his partner in crime Reese Hampton former tigers and Diamondbacks minor leager ahead of ball and no strikes chase a sandwiched in between the pair BL Waits on De he's got a home run already tonight now it's 20- here on Hampton who has nine home runs on the tour tied for second most foul ball not caught by the [Applause] fans fascinating to see if Benta tries to swipe second I would wager he does not Hampton is the tying run he's the man who really matters as heps that one into the stands and on to the roof I think you may also see Basera play very conservatively over at first base considering we saw Bill Roy gun him down when he was serving as the designated runner in the sixth inning [Applause] play Swing and a foul tip into the midle of Roy huge strike out from Kris Minsky for the second out here in the top of the ninth for his good of a hitter as Rees Hampton is Austin krinsky has owned him all T long Hampton now just two for 19 against keme as he get another look at that strike Out Swinging it was good old country hard ball was Monster fired up he's got to get through one of the best hitters on the tour especially when it comes to the ninth inning in Chase inor one out base two for four double in the third a homer in the fifth break up really good at getting the hands in being able to turn on pitches and that's why you're seeing pis Minsky and Bill La Roy continuing to work on the outside corner fake up in this plate appearance fisted the opposite way Jackson Olson skips it to First in time and the bananas take a 3-1 win here night one in Salt Lake City a ball game that once again comes down to the wire but the bananas continue to battle against the party animals offensively in the late stages of the ball game and it was a stand up defensive performance especially from the infielders and for Jackson Olson his greatest game at second base and caps it off with the bounce pass trick play put the match number to one [Music] game bill lroy says bananas Nation Let's Dance the boys dance he's going to shout out his teammates after they grab their 34th win of the year against the party now 12 games better than the 's rivals with only 13 games left to play so if you're a party animals fan here's to 13

welcome up into the booth with Josh tvki boo scalla thank you all so much for spending this big tiger Friday with us on True TV and the ners YouTube page really impressive win for the bananas once again they just keep on rolling again it was an impressive victory tonight and I think it really just exemplified how deep the banan's pitching is overall yet another phenomenal start from Noah nnick and then from Zack Phillips to DJ The Invader to Austin Kris Minsky really effective late inning Bullpen management by the bananas overall and the party animals grounded out 16 times in tonight's ball game the bananas in a stadium that's a pretty hitter friendly Park were able to keep the ball on the ground against a terrific offense and Come Away with a victory and with that many ground outs it is not surprising that there were 22 total trick plays in tonight's game 15 of them coming from the bananas and we actually saw Jackson Olsen with his trick play to end the ball game and secure the victory tie the single game single player trick play record six in tonight's ball game and he was really on a tear in the late stages of this one and again was just marvelous defensively as was Danny Hosley at third base and of course we cannot forget the diving catch by Dr Meadows in center field in the eighth inning to Back DJ on the mound yeah it was really a full team effort but how about Jackson Olson he ends up joining Dr Meadows as well as Ryan Cox Dustin bber and Chase a in the six trick plays in one game club we are still waiting for somebody to make it a seven trick play game and blow the entire Club to Smith it's going to be fun we could very well see it tomorrow again we have seen over these last couple of weekends the bananas and party animals averaging over 20 trick plays per game so it does not seem unreasonable that we could see a single player record in this series or tomorrow I should say and again the bananas their magic number to win in the season series against the party animals is now down to just one game they have the potential to do it tomorrow night and the party animals again they're going to have to find guys to step up we saw how much the loss of Drew Gillespie hurt this ball club with Ryan Rodriguez coming in in that eighth inning and being unable to keep it a one-point game against the bananas well it seemed Beyond obvious that the bananas were going to win the season series last year against the party animals when they went into night two in De Mo Iowa up eight games with nine to play it's a little trickier this time around it's a 12-game deficit with 13 still on the docket for the party animals but crazier things have happened in the history of sport uh we'll be back here on True TV next Friday night funny enough from De Mo Iowa that means it'll be an 8:00 p.m. Eastern first pitch and then tomorrow night much earlier on the docket it's going to be the bananas YouTube page where you can watch game two from Salt Lake City
