Benchwarmers

First Place

Softball - Thursdays (Spring '23)

“Benchwarmers” are the Thursday Softball Champions of the Spring ‘23 season, after defeating “Fire It Up” 10-4!

“Benchwarmers” entered the playoffs as the heavy favorite to win the championship. They were the #1 seed and it looked like no one would be able to stop them, but “Fire It Up” was not going down without a fight. The “Benchwarmers” defeated “Fire It Up” in their previous matchup during the regular season, so “Fire It Up” was ready to exact their revenge. The game started out with the “Fire It Up” scoring a couple runs in each of the first two innings, and not allowing “Benchwarmers” to get anything going offensively. “Fire It Up” was winning 4-2 entering the fifth inning and it looked like they were going to be crowned the champions of Thursday softball, but the “Benchwarmers” had other ideas. The “Benchwarmers” impressive offense came alive in the fifth inning and scored 8 runs to take the lead going into the final inning. “Fire It Up” was able to put one last player on base in the 6th inning but the “Benchwarmers” got three quick outs and ended the game. It was an incredible championship and one of the craziest finishes we’ve ever seen. “Fire It Up” played an amazing game but the “Benchwarmers” proved that they are still the team to beat in the Thursday softball league!

Congratulations to “Benchwarmers” on becoming the Thursday Softball Champions!
