To determine which tribe wins, if there is a 4-4 tie I will set up a one-game playoff to determine the winner. The individual player on the losing tribe who gets the most hits from Cobb or Rose in one game will get individual immunity for this round only. The four players playing one game each on Tribe 1 will receive a clue to an idol hidden on Exile Island; they will each get to ask one yes/no question and make a guess.

PERTINENT REMAINING BONUSES
FishNasty: You can demand an intentional walk once in one game (Pause the game and wait for acknowledgment from your opponent).
kneeneighbor: You may have the opposing pitcher ejected one time in the 7th or 8th inning.
The Taint: One SP may be used twice by your tribe in a challenge that otherwise disallows it.

Tribe 1     5     3
Tribe 2     3     5

hey delta - let me know when we can play ...

I lost to trop 9-8 in 10

he scored 4 in the 9th to tie - (3 on a 3 run shot by Perez)
i took the lead in the 10th and Bench hit a 2 run homer with 2 outs to win it

I used Mullin he used Gullet

3 hits for cobb
0 hits for rose

Pretty sure that wins it for Tribe 1!

WILD....WILD.....WILD....game. WILD game.

The 1975 Reds stage a FURIOUS ninth inning rally to tie the game at 7, mainly powered by a Tony Perez 3 run HR. I will never again make fun of him being viewed as a "clutch" player. Which doesn't exist.  Because holy crap that was clutch. I had my closer, Rawley Eastwick in in the ninth and tenth, and he tired and couldn't get through the 10th, and I HAD to bring in Pedro Borbon.  His peripheral stats are ok, but he had a .300 OAV.  Yikes. So he obviously gave up what looked like the game-winning hit...

To the bottom of the tenth...I only had 5 pitchers in the pen, and had already thrown four of them, and Borbon had a .290 avg, so I let him hit. No dice...one out. Pete Rose didn't get a hit...two outs. Joe Morgan saved the day, keeping the game alive with a walk. ackety subbed out for a better catcher, but that didn't matter as Morgan stole his fourth base of the game.  Two outs...runner in scoring position...Johnny Bench at the plate.

I hate Bench. I use him and he sucks.  It never works out for me. Ever.

2-run HR for Bench. Ballgame. Wow.  9-8 1975 Reds.

Cobb went 3-3 with 2 walks, Rose went OH FER SIX!  0-6!!!! Nearly killed us, considering right behind him Morgan was 2 for 5 with 4 steals...Bench was 3 for 6...I mean, it could have been a whitewashing if Rose had gotten a couple hits. 

I threw Gullett, ackety threw Mullin. Neither starter was all that good.

Tribe 1 wins! FishNasty and toddleduc still need to play to determine individual immunity.
