Name the Game

Given the over-the-top sample commentary, guess the game. Table top games, video games, and sports are all... fair game?
Lingo is based on competitive or quasi-competitive play.

Hint
Answer
Styris sends a long-hop where it deserves to be, to the midwicket fence. Balaji pegs away for his yet-to-come first wicket.
Cricket
Pat connects the backdoor run on the river! Bogdan drew bullets on the chip, but now he's got a laydown against a donkey!
Poker
Jimmy used that Seemiller grip to twiddle to long-pipped and got the kill shot with the backhand flick.
Table Tennis
Inbound to Boynton. Boynton gets double teamed. Pivot, hook shot...swish!
Basketball
Mary was short suited this round, she will slough to bleed hearts. Jim has three toppers to shoot the moon, but he'll have to avoid a heart stopper to get there.
Hearts
As a DAS player Sean will need a clean play area before the kill screen, but they'll need to clean up some junk after that long bar drought.
Tetris
LaBeau is a grinder, but he blocks that howitzer at the hash marks, no doubt, eh. That'll cost him some chicklets.
Hockey
With the en passant, Hans threatened the pin on 8th rank. What a way to overcome an early blunder and force a threefold repetition.
Chess
Max will abandon the bomb and go for a squop. Calo switches to a thicker squidger... the question is now, of course, will Calo Bristol or gromp?
Tiddlywinks
Oh, it needs to run. It bites and Johnson will end up just off the apron. He'll probably want to bump and run since he needs a ferret to draw even.
Golf
That cutter attracted the poach defender, completely freeing up a wide-open banana cut for the perfect hammer.
Ultimate Frisbee
The drop shot to the alley is returned by a perfect hairpin. But MacGruber calls a carry! Back to deuce and the game and the draw continue.
Badminton
Nothing down, but less than an inch from a golden break. The on ball is totally obscured after that, so we'll probably see a push here.
Nine-Ball
A spock might be her only option here. But she's lagging it! It worked! She's kissing the pallino!
Bocce Ball
Sarah has the hammer. She could blank the frame with a double take out, but it looks like she'll opt to draw to the button. Gutsy call since she's been heavy all bonspiel.

Fun quiz! Should maybe yellow box it.

Thanks! Updated to yellow box, too; there are a few guesses that might crossover.

Tricky! I thought there'd be more video games, so that was a pleasant surprise, but I still did very badly.
