2 Out of 3 Usually Ain't Bad
Battle Take Back Classic
- San Antonio
Going 2 for 3 is usually a good day at the plate especially when it involves regaining silverware from your biggest rival. That wasn't the case though as some of the shine from taking the 2015 Classic and notching their first win in MCQ fell off due to losing the league match to Capital District. "Of course we're ecstatic to bring home the Classic for just the second time in the history of this rivalry. It was a good thing we managed a shut out in the first leg. They always come up big against us and we were on our last thread. Thankfully the 90 ended before they could fire home the winner. It would have been really nice though, to bring this back home with some ground made up in the league as well."

Freedom Cup Champions !
Double Hat Trick Leads Battle to Win
- San Antonio
Captain Obafemi Martins almost stole the show all by himself as the match came to a close on Sunday. Facing fellow founding member Union SC, Martins put on an electrifying display that normally would earn a player MotM honors. This weekend though it was merely an emphatic punctuation on a performance that Alamo City has been waiting for all year. Finally, the club put together a complete performance from whistle to whistle to snatch a win, a lifeline 3pts, and a chance to keep the playoff hopes alive. Martins though, wouldn't be awarded MotM honors as that fell to the man that blew the match wide open right at the opening whistle. Finally back and healthy, 'Super' Mauro Diaz showed why the Battle kept the faith. Starting the match with a hat trick of his own, Diaz showed the skill that made him a DP this off season. In between the two bookend performances the club got an assist from Mike Grella and a shutout from re-aquired Adam Kwarasey.
Coupled with the win over Union SC, was a win over Kashima that (along with the rest of the results) sealed the 2015 Freedom Cup for the Battle. The club has yet to fail to win the invitational tournament but this season's format proved to be the most competitive yet. Three other clubs would have been in contention still has results panned out differently.
For the Battle this weekend was a much needed positive swing. It couldn't have come at a better time though as now the club has a short turnaround in league play.
