Those Sons of Pitches Won the Championship

It was a sweltering evening this past Friday night as our Late Summer Softball league wrapped up under the lights. The leagues top 4 teams battled through the pressure on the diamond in pursuit of the ultimate prize. However, only one team would remain standing on top of the podium when all was said and done, and the road to the championship was no easy stroll.

The action got underway with the top seeded "Sons of Pitches" taking on the game but over matched #4 seed "Super Hitters III". It was the "Sons of Pitches" who were the Super Hitters in this game as they opened the offensive flood gates, scoring 15 runs. The "Super Hitters III" managed to plate 9 runs of their own but it was still a comfortable win for the "Sons of Pitches".

Meanwhile, in our second semi-final the #2 seed 'I'd Hit That" and #3 seed "Walks of Shame" put on a strong defensive effort as runs were at a premium. Tied at 2 late in the game, "Walks of Shame" broke through with a decisive run to secure their spot in the championship game by a score of 3-2.

The championship game featured a rematch from an earlier season clash that was one of the best games we had seen all season. "Sons of Pitches" took that game 8-7 and both teams walked away with an increased respect for the ability of their opponent. The rematch in the championship game turned out to be every bit as exciting as the regular season game and then some. Throughout the game neither team was able to create much breathing room as the score remained close. Entering the final inning the "Sons of Pitches" clung to a tenuous 6-5 lead, but in that final inning "Walks of Shame" put two on the board to claim a 7-6 lead. The game would end somewhat anticlimactically as the game was called before the last inning was completed, therefore the score reverted to the last completed inning and "Sons of Pitches" were crowned season champs by a score of 6-5.

Congratulations to "Sons of Pitches" and to all of the teams that competed in a great Softball season.

How are Standings Calculated?
Winners receive 2 points, each team in a tie receives 1 point, and losers receive 0 points. If you forfeit, you lose a point, so don't forfeit! Plus, two forfeits make your team ineligible for playoffs.

Teams are ranked by (1) Ranking Points, (2) Head to Head Two Teams Only*, (3) Point Differential, (4) Coin Toss.

Head to Head is only used if there are two teams tied. Ties involving 3+ teams disregard H2H and move on to point differential for the tiebreaker.
º Forfeits
Parenthesized numbers indicate wins or losses by forfeit.
When calculating Ranking Points, forfeits may be weighted differently than normal wins and losses.
