South Slope Pinball League had its finals last night. I had missed a few weeks and didn’t qualify—but a couple people couldn’t make it and I got bumped up to the last slot in B. My incredible week of pinball rolled on and I finished in 3rd!

My Tuesday team, Butter Ballers, are champions of Pinball NYC’s Right Inlane division for season 29!! Last night we played the Trolls (in their first ever championship match) to an 8-8 tie, then took the win on a 1-2-3 game of Jurassic Park.
That’s three straight seasons for we Butter Ballers!

Our New York City Flipper Sport Association has won Pinball NYC’s Season 29 championship in the Left Orbit division—for the third season in a row! Last night we defeated The Mutants (for the third season in a row!) at Scrappleland, 10-6. Love this team!

One of the great perks of attending the monthly South Slope Strikes is that tournament director Jess always makes cookies or treats #pinball
![Some brownies on a tray sitting on the bar next to a hand-written sign that reads, “Vietnamese Coffee Swirl Brownies
contain [sic] flour, butter, cream cheese, condensed milk, egg.” Also in frame is a pile of NYC PIN POD stickers.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l76hiwhtnjdujfcuoipzhwt2/bafkreicsktabuhob6plqig4gemrdymdeux2w2eekkwrg63cyoxl22j7scy@jpeg)

My Tuesday night #pinball team also won our semi-finals match; the venue was At the Wallace, my Monday night team’s home bar, heh. We Butter Ballers defeated Everybody Loves the Sunshine 11-5. I played great on these familiar machines, including a personal best on Deadpool (with a 5x Mechsuit).

Last night at Rullo’s Bar, in Pinball NYC’s Left Orbit semifinals, our New York City Flipper Sport Association defeated Lionpersons! by a score of 11-1. I personally got one of those points with a pitiful ball 3 walk-off win on 007 with a score of 15M (I played it out to something like 125M).

We Butter Ballers were the virtual home team at Barcade FiDi tonight as we took out Pinister Six in the first round of Pinball NYC’s Right Inlane playoffs, 10-6. I had a meh game of Congo and a good game of Rush, both in doubles rounds and both in our favor

I can recommend a visit to the Red Hook Pinball Museum!
Join ART for a tour of the Red Hook Pinball Museum! We'll be led on a tour by the museum's co-founders before the space is open to the general public, to get an in-depth look at the pinball machines, many of which are from the 1960s and 1970s. Register: nycarchivists.org/event-6443225
