Local 808 Team 1 tore through the competition, easily disposing of teams from CH2M Hill, defending champion Enterprise, M,C&A and Archinoetics. Local 808 Team 2 unfortunately went down swinging in it's 2 opening games, falling to Pepsi and Altres in 3 to 2 and 1 to 0 heartbreakers .

Going into the final matchup against the SYL (Society of Young Leaders) team, Local 808 Team 1 held a huge advantage needing only one win to take the crown. The final promised to be a nail biter as both SYL and Local 808 where nearly twins in terms of talent and strategy. SYL scored first, plating one run with Local 808 tying them in the bottom of the 2nd. In the 3rd and final inning, tied 1 to 1, emotions nearly boiled over as a huge collision nearly knocked Local 808's first baseperson out of the game. The steely-eyed determination of the Local 808 team could be seen as they came up to kick in the bottom of the final inning. Local 808's first out came on an easy pop fly. Two short singles followed as the tension continued to climb. With the game on the line, the next Local 808 kicker pounded a huge drive over the SYL first basepersons head, driving in the winning run from second base.

In the post-game interview, when asked if Local 808 would be back next year, Captain Rodriguez replied without hesitation, "We will be back to defend our championship!"
