Benchwarmers

First Place

Softball QUICKIE*6 - Thursdays (Fall '22)

“Benchwarmers” are the Thursday Softball Champions of the Fall ‘22 season, after defeating “Smacker-Whackers” 9-1!

“Benchwarmers” entered the position week as the heavy favorite to win the championship. They were the #1 seed and looking to win their 5th championship in a row, but “Smacker-Whackers” had other ideas. The “Benchwarmers” defeated “Smacker-Whackers” in their previous matchup during the regular season, so “Smacker-Whackers” were ready to exact their revenge. “Benchwarmers” came out and scored two runs in the first inning to take an early 2-0 lead. It looked like the “Benchwarmers” were going to run away with the championship again, but “Smacker-Whackers” came right back and scored a run of their own and stayed within striking distance for the entire game. The championship was up for grabs until the “Benchwarmers’ offense exploded in the last inning. The “Benchwarmers” clutched up and scored six runs in the top of the 6th to take a commanding 9-1 lead. It looked like all hope was lost for the “Smacker-Whackers", but they were able to get a few runners on base in the last inning and put some pressure on the “Benchwarmers” defense. But the “Benchwarmers” made a couple incredible defensive plays in the final inning to hold off the powerful “Smacker-Whacker’s” offense. The “Benchwarmers” went on to win the Championship 9-1 and claimed their 5th title in a row. Is there a team out there that can stop the “Benchwarmers” dynasty? I guess we will have to wait until the Spring to find out.

Congratulations to “Benchwarmers” on becoming the Thursday Softball Champions for the 5th time! Let's see if they can come back in the Spring and make it 6 in a row!
