Boom Goes the Dynamite erupted for 12 runs in the final two innings to claim a 14-6 victory over the NoDa All-Stars in Interlink Softball action on Thursday night at Hornet's Nest Park. The win snapped a two-game slide for Boom and evened its record at 2-2 in league play.

The NoDa All-Stars jumped out to an early 5-1 advantage through two innings, as they were led by a two-out grand slam home run from their lead-off hitter in the bottom of the second frame.

Boom Goes the Dynamite struggled offensively in the first four innings, scoring just a pair of runs to cut the All-Star lead to 6-2. Then, in the top of the fifth inning, Boom took control of the game, plating six runs to claim an 8-6 advantage. The go-ahead runs came with two outs, as an errant throw by the All-Star's third baseman got away from the first baseman and allowed Tim Peters to reach base, as Eric and Megan Grieser both scored on the play.

In the sixth inning, Boom added some insurance with six more runs, highlighted by Eric Grieser's grand slam, which cleared the left-centerfield fence and scored Jill Underwood, who reached on a walk, Nathan Buechlein, who singled, and Megan Grieser, who also singled. The homer was the first outside-the-park shot of the year for Boom, and Grieser's third round-tripper of the season. Buechlein drove in the other two runs in the inning with his single.

Boom Goes the Dynamite will return to action on April 30, when it plays a scheduled doubleheader at 7:00 and 8:00 at Hornet's Nest Park.

In a game that was marked by sloppy playing conditions and great defensive efforts, Boom Goes the Dynamite used timely hitting to rally and post a rain-shortened 5-2 victory over Slow Children at Play in Interlink League action on Thursday night.

Boom fell behind in the top of the first inning, as the Children's first batter sent the first pitch he saw over the left field fence for a 1-0 advantage. The Dynamite would not be denied, rallying for a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning, as Tim Peters' single plated both Megan Grieser and Nathan Buechlein, who had reached on a single and a throwing error respectively.

After the Children tied things at 2-2 in the top of the third inning, Boom once again found some timely hitting, as another Peters single scored Buechlein with the eventual winning run, and a two-out single by Andy Kerrigan, who was making his season debut, scored Jackson Sveen to put the margin at 4-2.

Boom added an insurance run in the bottom of the fourth inning when a single by Joy Matheny scored Pat Carpenito, who had led off the frame with a single to left field.

The game was halted with one out in the top of the fifth inning, after a Children batter slipped and fell in the mud while leaving the batters box after grounding out to Matheny, stranding a runner at second base.

Boom Goes the Dynamite will continue its Interlink schedule on Thursday, March 26th at a time and against a yet-to-be determined opponent.
