First Place

Softball - Tuesdays (Late Summer '15)

Our Late Summer Tuesday Softball league came to an exciting conclusion last night as the top 4 teams vied to write their name in the history books as league champs.

Definitely Not the Giants vs. Kool Aid...Oooohh Yeah
The game started off close as Definitely Not the Giants took an early 2-0 lead through the first 2 innings. However, 2 straight 8 run innings from Kool Aid...Oooohh Yeah and some great defense proved too much. Definitely Not the Giants would score 2 more runs over the remaining innings but it was not enough as Kool Aid cruised on to the Championship game with a 16-4 (14-4) victory.

Out of Towners vs. One Hit Wonders
This proved to be a game for the ages and needed 9 full innings to declare a winner. The game started off with power hitting from both teams as both teams raced to a 6-6 tie after 3 innings. Then it became all defense, with only one run each being scored for each team over the next 3 innings and we headed to extras with a 7-7 tie. It appeared that the Out of Towners gave themselves a big enough lead after scoring 2 in the top of the 7th but a 2 out double tied the game back up. In the 8th, despite both teams starting with a runner on second in sudden death, great defense kept both teams from scoring. The Out of Towners were blanked again by great pitching in the top of the 9th. Two consecutive hits in the bottom of the 9th then sealed it for One Hit Wonders and they moved on to the Championship game which quickly got under way.

One Hit Wonders vs. Kool Aid
The One Hit Wonders began the game where they left off the last one as they scored 5 runs in a hit-filled top of the 1st inning. However, Kool Aid responded with 4 runs with their own power bats.Good defense proved valuable in the next two innings as each team would only score another run making it 6-5. With the last inning being called, One Hit Wonders kicked it into high gear scoring 3 insurance runs which proved to be too much for Kool Aid who went quietly in the bottom half of the inning. One Hit Wonders earned their Championship having played 13 straight innings of softball.
