Jeremy “Chicken” Penn scattered four hits, Power Outage overcame a 5-1 deficit and Milique Malone hit a crucial 2-run left field homer, as they fended off the charging Pirates 9-7, to win the BVI Softball Association’s inaugural George “Shawala” Borrows Memorial Softball Tournament on Saturday night at the E. Walwyn Brewley Softball Park, before a crowd of boisterous fans.
Pirates starting pitcher Rico “Polly” Penn’s 2-run homer, gave them the early lead, before increasing it to 5-1, after Power Outage scored in the bottom of the first. Power Outage tied the game at 5-5, chasing Penn, who was relieved by Nicos Penn. Malone scored on a pass ball to make it 6-5 in Power Outage’s favor and they went on to lead 9-5. With two outs in their do or die inning, the Pirates last gasp resulted in two runs, making it a 9-7 game.
