THE SOE SLUGGERS MENS SOFTBALL TEAM ARE CHAMPIONS AGAIN! THIRD MENS SOFTBALL TITLE IN 3 YEARS!!!

It was a wild game and strange ending to it. Thanks go out to all of the fans that supported us and made it out to our games last night and during the season!

Here's the Quick Highlights:
* * * * * * *

In the semi-final game, we took an early lead, but Team Cooter was only trailing us by 3 runs most of the game. We switched pitchers from Ed (Peavy) to Scott (Hoffman), and he shut them down. We easily won the semi-final game at that point, but the Championship game would prove to be quite exciting with the lead going back and forth.

In the Championship Game, Team Marx was our opponent, who actually defeated us for our only loss of the season in a very close game last week. This time around, Marx quickly scored 6 runs in the top of the 1st inning, but we answered the call and scored 8 runs of our own in the bottom of the 1st. The lead kept exchanging hands throughout the game, until we finally took a 3 run lead going into the top of the 7th inning (last inning). Team Marx got hot again, scoring 5 runs to take the lead by 2. We would need to score at least 2 runs in the bottom half of the last inning of the game for any chance of continuing the game into an extra inning.

Satao leads off the bottom of the inning, with a line drive single. With one out, John hits a single up the middle moving Satao to third. Ed hits a line drive to RF to score Satao. Sluggers are now only trailing by one run. Chris hits a short fly to RF to score John for our tying run!

With two outs, Scott is at the plate...he hits a line drive up the middle to "OUCH"...the ball hits Chris leaving second base for the final out of the inning (tease him when you can). The score is TIED...are we going into an extra inning?

The managers of both teams converse with the umpire of the game near home plate. Time has "expired," the game is called "complete," and the score reverts back to the 6th inning due to the "tie" after 7 complete innings, so...WE WIN!
