Captain Eric Chen arrived late because he had a coaching commitment. Tom Narath had an injured arm and wasn't able to hit with his normal velocity. Katie Schwartz was away on vacation.
But setter Ruth Wong was there, subs Jeff Wiedeman and Karen Nolan stepped in, and Eric arrived midway through the second game to let Tom sit out as the Pip Squeeks were able to beat $40 Bill 2 games to 1 on Thursday and help ensure they'd stay in the Gold Division for next week's playoffs in the Reverse Coed Fours league.
Jeff led the way with 9 kills, Karen contributed 8, and Tom and Eric each had 4 in a game and a-half each as the Pip Squeeks lost Game 1 25-21, but won 28-26 and 25-23 in the second and third games. They then won all three games against My Knee! to finish the final round of pool play before the playoffs with a 6-3 record.
Jeff had 14 digs, Karen contributed 6, Tom had 4 and Eric 3 in the match against $40 Bill.
Brad Kniewel had 14 kills, 5 aces, and 13 digs for $40, while Dan Lattanzi had 7 kills and 9 digs and Kate Perkowski contributed 4 kills, an ace and 5 digs. Cecelie Pikus was the setter and had 4 digs.
$40 rebounded from the 2-1 loss with a 2-1 victory over Poops McGee, and finished pool play with a 5-4 record. Brad had 14 kills, Dan had 6 and Kate contributed 4 kills and 2 aces in the 25-20, 24-26, 25-20 victory.
Taylor Dressing had 11 kills to lead Poops McGee, Angelika Kopacz had 8, and C.J. Pinkney contributed 7. Kyle Pinkney did the setting.
Poops McGee beat My Knee! (Roman and Angela Bulawski, Jim Findura, and Tulia Calcagnile) 25-19, 25-21, and 25-22 for a three-game sweep, and also finished the final pool 6-3.
The league playoffs will be held Wednesday Aug. 8, with Bronze Division and Silver Division semifinals at 7:45, followed by the finals for each division. The Gold Division semis will be at 8:45 with the final after.
A league party will be held after the finals at the Rattlesnake Cafe.
