EVENT ONE: SUPER BEER PONG
For the second year in a row, we kick off the day with some pong. At this time of the morning, everyone was easing into the day at their own speeds. While the Commish was working on his morning cup of joe, Chris had a Busch Light for each hand. (Foreshadow alert for event #1.) Here was the order established at last night's selection show:
Team Erno jumped out to an early lead, knocking out a decent amount of cups, but Team Fugate chipped away at that lead to tighten that window late in the game. They were lead by Nate's Steph Curry-like performance knocking down a game high 5 shots. Santa Deluca's 4 shots weren't the only shots he brought to the table. His mini bottles of fireball made an appearance in one cup per team. Being similar in color to beer, the "loser" of that round was greeted to an early morning cinnamon warmness in their tummy. It was essentially an alcoholic Cinnabon, so that's why no one really felt all that bad for whomever got stuck with the cup. And if you couldn't tell, I'm dancing around the fact that we don't have record of who the lucky SOB's to suck them down were. I feel like I could have volunteered for one, but that may be revisionist history* on my part.
*like 85% of these recaps
Less of a guessing game was how the remainder of the event panned out. Team Erno had almost even contributions from everyone, with Mike E. leading the team with 4 shots. Ultimately, the consistency of Team Erno took down Team Fugate with a score of 15-13. Learning their lesson from last year, there were no uncalled for celebrations after taking a 1-0 lead for the day.

EVENT TWO: STREET HOCKEY
We found ourselves back at the historic outdoor Cornwell rink. Like a 90's co-ed couple in oversized sweaters, the first period started with both sides feeling each other out. Team Fugate controlled time of possession early, which equated to better and more frequent scoring chances. Nate opened the scoring for Team Fugate, and Steve found the back of the net shortly after. 2-0 champs.
Team Erno clamped down the D in the second period and didn't allow the opportunities for Team Fugate that they enjoyed in the first period. The ones that they did, Chad ate up like an oversized slice of Lorenzo's. On the other side of the court, Anthony was pitching a shutout and the rest of Team Fugate was out hustling Team Erno to the ball. Late in the 2nd period, the ball kicked out to Mike E. around the attacking blue line where he lifted his stick to the sky and unleashed a patented Erno Cousin's Brand slap shot. Instead of blasting it out of the rink like many of his practice shots, this absolute laser beat Anthony high glove side and cut the Team Fugate lead in half.
Team Erno entered the third period with renewed optimism, feeling that they could push this game to OT, if not outright win it. Both teams battled, but ultimately Nate put the game out of reach with a third period goal for Team Fugate as they stayed the Kings of the Brolympic Hockey world with a 3-1 victory and an undefeated lifetime record in the event.
PROP BETS:
- First Goal- Nate
- MVP- Nate
- Combine Goals: Over/Under 6.5- UNDER
TEAM ERNO 1 - TEAM FUGATE 1
EVENT THREE: HOME RUN DERBY
The day is tied at one a piece heading into event three. Because of how much fun we had last year, Home Run Derby was once again played in the Cornwall Hockey Rink. And because we're smart like a fox...a fox that started their day with a drinking game...after 10 plus hours of drinking the day before, we've never placed home plate at the same distance year to year. Thus we never know if we should expect a bomb fest or a pitchers duel.
Steve started things off for Team Fugate with a what turned out to be a very reputable 4 spot, as well as an absolute bomb. Speaking of bomb, Chad followed for Team Erno in the bottom of the first round with a deuce. Team Fugate with the 4-2 lead after the first round matchup.
Back to back BROVII event MVP Nate was up next for Team Fugate. Someone light a candle, because he followed Chad's deuce with a deuce of his own. Mike E. was up next for Team Erno. He doubled down on the recent deuce party and put up another four spot to tie the event at 6-6.
The Commish, starting to get in his Brolympic groove, mashed 4 of his own, while Rose joined the deuce parade to finish off round 3. Team Fugate 10 - 8.
Mike M. went off like a roman candle, exploding for 7 dingers to put Team Fugate up by 9. Bro VI hero Dave W. was able to get half those runs back with a four spot, but Team Erno still found themselves losing 17-12 after four.
The Notorious A.N.T. hit a trey to give Team Fugate an 8 run lead. Chris would need to have the best round of the day to give Team Erno a chance. After a few early outs, he strung together a few long balls, as Team Erno was hoping for the best. Those hopes were quickly dashed as a loud pop was heard after one of Chris's swings. Unfortunately it was not the sound of the bat hitting the ball. With his left arm hanging at his side, it was easy to tell that his reoccurring shoulder injury had made it's first Brolympic appearance at an inopportune time. Chris waved off the help of at least three people with medical backgrounds and decided to push his shoulder into the outside wall of the hockey rink and pop his shoulder back into joint. He was unable to continue the round, but fortunately is being considered for the roll of Riggs in Lethal Weapon: The Musical.
Team Fugate prevails, 20 -15.
