Showboats regrouped and finished strong winning 7 of there last 8 and entering the playoffs as the #2 seed. Showboats after a bye then won conviencingly 16 to 4 against a strong 3 seed in the hawks. Champinship sunday against the leagues defending champs, Showboats played a tough game but came up a little short losing 7-5. After one season the showboats have added a couple new guys to help win a championship. Which was huge after losing a key player on the Showboats roster in Brandon Graff. The Showboats will be a strong team for years to come and look to contend for a championship every season.

Week 3 vs Mustangs L(12-7)

In week 3 the Showboats bats silenced a little bit, only scoring 1 run in the first 7 inning. The Showboats were down 12 to 1 going in to the bottom of the 8th due to sloppy defense by Mike Campo dropping a fly ball in left center and Mike Seerup just not having his stuff this day. The showboats managed to fight back scoring 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th capped of by a big bases clearing double by Bryce Thurston. Going in the the 9th inning down 12 to 7 the Showboats got the first 2 on but just couldnt manage to get things going after that. Bryce and Tyler Thurston both went 2 for 5 combing for 4 RBI's.
