Stacker Sports- Day 54- Perth Heat Round 11 Recap
222 sats \ 7 comments \ @grayruby 28 Jan 2024 Stacker_Sports
The Perth Heat are returning to the ABL Championship series for a rematch with the Adelaide Giants.
The Heat secured a narrow 2 games to 1 victory in their semi-final series against the Brisbane Bandits. The Heat started the series on a tear winning the first game 7-0, but the Bandits stormed back in game two with a 12-9 victory to push the series to a deciding third game. Securing an early lead, the Heat fought off a late surge by the Bandits to grab a 5-4 win and seal the deal.
A great outcome considering the Heat's early struggles this season. The Adelaide Giants are the defending champs, who defeated the Heat in last year's Championship series, and were the best team in the league all season, so the Heat have a tough task ahead of them if they want to raise the Claxton Shield (championship trophy).
Here are the players of the games:
Game 1- SP Tyler Beardsley with 5.2 shut out innings and 5Ks Game 2- 1B Jake Bowey who was 2/3 with a HR, 2RBIs and 2BBs Game 3- CF Tim Kennelly who was 2/2 with 2HRs, 3RBIs and 2BBs
Wishing the Heat the best of luck in next week's Championship series. Go Heat!
Sats for all, GR

Not trying to steer the post off topic, but I really need to mention last night's Lakers vs Warriors 2OT thriller. Such a great game and amazing finish! Goes to show that LeBron and Curry are still very relevant, and why these two defined an era for the NBA.

I watched various points of the game but I missed the end. My daughter woke up crying from a bad dream (I shouldn't have let her play so much Luigi's Mansion with her brother).

One of the best, if not the best, game this season. Go catch some highlights if you have a chance. Perfect showcase of the greatness of both LeBron and Curry. Oh also, spoilers, DLo did not suck and came in clutch. I guess he really doesn't want to get traded.
I have so many Switch games but never got around to buying/playing Luigi's Mansion. Maybe I should give that a try...

They just finished that game last night. It is pretty fun but a bit scary even though its cartoonish for my 5 year old. Can you suggest another game to try that is maybe good for her age group?

For her to watch or for her to play? At 5, I think she can only play simple games like Mario Party or Scribblenauts Showdown or maybe Mario Kart 8 Deluxe if you turn on all the control assists.
If she just watches, and you or your son is playing, I highly recommend Super Mario Wonder if you guys are into 2D platformers. Or Super Mario RPG if you like JRPGs. Or Super Mario Odyssey, which is a masterpiece and still a great game 7 years after its release. I think I spent over 100 hours on that game.
Overcooked and Overcooked 2 are both fun to play solo but extremely fun and very much rage inducing with local multiplayer.
I recently bought Pikmin 4 but have not found time to play it yet. It seems like a fun game and hopefully I find time to play it soon.
Some honorable mentions are Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Untitled Goose Game, Rayman Legends.
BTW, some of the third party games are also available on Steam and you might be able to get them for a cheaper price if you're fine with gaming on your PC/Mac. Also, many games have demos, so be sure to check out the demo before you buy the game. Finally, Nintendo seem to be having a sale now on a lot of games. Be sure to see if you can find some good deals that you're interested in. Hope this helps and have fun gaming!

Thanks for the recommendations. She loves watching her brother play Super Mario World. I would like a game she can play as well though so maybe look at a couple others you suggested. I was thinking animal crossing as well.

Animal Crossing is more of a single player collect and build game, which has less action and might be less interesting to watch as a back seat gamer. Check out youtube videos of gameplays and reviews of games you and your son are interested in. Like my 5 year old son, your daughter will probably be happy to just watch, because they realize they are not that good at playing yet at this young age. She will start joining you guys probably at 7 or 8.
