Going 3-0 for the entire weekend, Maxxam Analytics swept to their first tournament win of the slo-pitch season on Sunday.

鈥淲e had a tight first game that we had to come back and win and I think it brought the whole team together,鈥� said Maxxam Analytics player Alejandro Pulido. 鈥淔rom there it was smooth sailing.鈥�

Maxxam Analytics met the Money Ballers in the Division 3-B final Sunday afternoon. They had met in the second game鈥圫aturday night.

Maxxam Analytics won that game handily, mercying the Money Ballers after five innings.

鈥淚t was a brutal game,鈥� said Money Baller鈥檚 Theo Richards.

He said their Saturday night game was probably their worst of the season.

鈥淲e knew we could bounce back and we started this morning with a big win, not even allowing any runs,鈥� said Richards.

The Money Ballers started off slow, scoring no runs in the first and only three in the second.

Maxxam Analytics however had one high scoring inning in the second with nine runs, to go along with their three from the first and just kept nickle and diming for the rest of the game. They added two in the third, and one each in innings four through six.

After that high scoring second inning, the Money Ballers couldn鈥檛 do enough to catch up. They lost 17-12.

鈥淲e had a couple errors here and there, but that鈥檚 going to happen,鈥� said Richards.

After scoring only one run in their first match-up against Maxxam Analytics, the Money Ballers refocused for the final.

鈥淲e knew we could bounce back,鈥� said Richards. 鈥淲e came out here today and I think put up 11 or 12 and that鈥檚 a lot better.鈥圵e can play with those guys.鈥圱hey got the better of us today.鈥�

Maxxam Analytics win was not without its hiccups. The new team is still working on its communication.

A collision in the outfield and a few marred passes had the team talking more.

鈥淐ommunication is going to get better and better,鈥� said Pulido. 鈥淲e鈥檝e already improved from our first game so we鈥檙e just going to go forward from here.鈥�
