SLUGGERS CO-ED SOFTBALL - We're Back In The Play-off Hunt!

Great win tonight! The team displayed great character and wouldn’t give up the game by scoring 3 runs in the top of the ninth to lead the game by one run, and then shutting them down in the ninth. Final score was 14-13.

I also want to welcome Tristan and Josh for coming out and joining our team. We picked them up from Team Lora and they have a few more players (2 girls and another guy) that hopefully will be interested in helping us make that play-off run. They had critical hits in the game and made outstanding plays in left and center fields.

Lou gets my game ball tonight! He hit a home run and scored the winning run in the ninth inning. He was even playing hurt defensively while contributing to the team’s defensive shut-out to our opponents for the last three innings. The whole team had key hits when it mattered and Chris had a home run for the night! Congrats team!

Looking ahead, that leaves our record at 4-4, probably tied with the same record with the next two teams that we play (Suetos (4-3) played Watson (6-1) tonight, so they probably are now 4-4) and (Mayfield (4-3) played Meyers (4-3) so one of those teams is probably 4-4 – hopefully Mayfield). The next two games against Suetos and then Mayfield are important for us since we may need the tie-breaker win over them to make the play-offs if we all have the same division record at the end of the season.

Our next game is on Sunday, June 25th at 7:45pm (Field #1) in 3 weeks. Ladies, enjoy the time off. For the guys, good luck winning this Wednesday’s Men’s softball game to secure the best record in the division and 50% of the league award. That will also place us as the #1 seed going into the play-offs the following Wednesday

Best,
Coach Ed
