We Got the Runs

First Place

Softball - Tuesdays (Summer '15)

Our Summer 2015 Tuesday Softball season wrapped up last night with the leagues top 4 teams battling it out on the diamond to claim top honors, bragging rights and eternal glory.

Our first semi-final featured the top seeded "Master Batters" taking on past champion, "Were not Juicin".
Fueled by an 8 run 2nd inning, Master Batters seemed to have the game under control but We're Not Juicin' had plenty of fight in them as they chipped away at the deficit over the next few innings. Ultimately the comeback fell just short, as Master Batters escaped with an 8-7 victory.

In our second semi-final #2 seed "We Got the Runs" took on #3 seed "Kings" in a game that on paper appeared too close to call. The game lived up to it's billing as both teams exhibited great defense while trading the lead as the game progressed. Kings entered the last at-bat up 4-3 with 2 outs and a runner at first. However, We Got the Runs proved to be patient as 2 straight walks to male batters brought in the needed 2 runs and advanced Kings to the final.

Final (Master Batters vs We Got the Runs)
More great defense led to quick innings and low scoring for a large portion of the game. We Got the Runs eventually found their stroke in the 5th inning, with a pivotal 3-run triple, ultimately scoring 5 runs to blow the game open to 8-2. Master Batters was only able to answer with one more run in the bottom of the inning and, after a quiet 6th inning, We Got the Runs took home the Championship.

Congratulations to We Got the Runs and to all of the teams that competed in a great softball season.
