GAME 2: Ot the Cook vs. Erathor Pridenar
Round 1 Ot the Cook's riders go first, with Ajar failing to gain position. Daw does get by the defense, then shoots and scores for a 1-0 lead! Last is Trop, who can't muster an attack. Erathor Pridenar's men are up next, with Altario up first and easily getting by the defense, shooting and immediately tying the game at 1! Kilor then also charges the defense, getting by and knocking in a goal past Daw, taking the lead 2-1! Tralas can't sustain the momentum, though, and bobbles his possession. Ot the Cook 1 - 2 Erathor Pridenar
Round 2 Ajar again handles the ball, and again loses it. Daw battles Tralas fiercely, but the defense stifles him. Trop can't sustain the attack, and fails to gain possession. Kilor leads off for his side, gets into position, and shoots past Ajar to make it 3-1! Tralas can't quite get by the defense, but Altario does and puts in another goal to stretch the lead even further, 4-1! Ot the Cook 1 - 4 Erathor Pridenar
Round 3 In deep trouble down 3 goals, with 3 shooters left, Ot's team needs a miracle. Ajar again leads, gets by Tralas, and scores! The lead is cut to 4-2. Daw tries to make it a rally and barely beats Altario to gain position. He shoots, but misses wide, sealing the loss. Trop can't even save face, failing to gain position on his last ball. Erathor's team has a chance to make a statement and pile on the score. Tralas leads and battles Ajar furiously, only to come up short. Altario and Kilor, relaxing, also can't get by the defense, but it doesn't matter. Ot the Cook 2 - 4 Erathor Pridenar
Erathor Pridenar defeats Ot the Cook by a score of 4 to 2 and advances to face crazylama.

Well it was hard fought but the season ends in disappointment for the Val-Augustos Mariners. I suppose I'll cheer for Matt now... or Don.
