Muff n Men 3

First Place

Softball - Mondays (Late Summer '15)

What a night! Our Monday softball season came to an epic conclusion last night as the leagues top 4 teams competed for league supremacy. "Muff n Men 3" were in search of a third straight championship, but they faced a stiff challenge from some truly talented squads.

#1 seed, The Fainting Goats vs #4 seed, Hittin Dingers:
Hittin' Dingers came to play and it showed quick and early as they scored 2 runs in each of the first 3 innings while holding the Fainting Goats to a lone run. The Fainting Goats started to chip away at the lead however, scoring 4 runs over the next two inning to make it a one-run game. Heading into the final inning, Hittin Dingers added two insurance runs which proved to be valuable as the Fainting Goats scored a run in the bottom half of the inning. It wasn't enough though and Hitting Dingers pulled off the upset by a score of 8-6 and headed to the Championship game.

#2 seed, Muff n Men 3 vs. #3 seed, Grass Fairies:
The offense got rolling quickly in this contest as each team scored in the opening inning. The Grass Fairies scored 3 runs only to be answered by the Muff n Men 3 with 4 runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. That was all she wrote however as the Muff n Men 3 turned on the afterburners, cranking out a total of 17 runs over the rest of the game, while continually blanking the Fairies. The Grass Fairies attempted to keep the game close with 4 more runs in the 4th inning but it was nowhere near enough. Muff n Men 3 were heading to the championship game with a chance for their 3rd straight title with the 17-7 win.

Hittin Dingers vs Muff n Men 3
Another championship game for the ages with the 2-time defending Monday Champions Muff n Men 3 versus the scrappy Hittin Dingers. The Hitting Dingers started right where they left off scoring 5 through the first 3 innings while holding the Muff n Men 3 to 1 run with some great defense and pitching. However, that's when the flood gates opened. Fueled by a 3 run home run, Hittin Dingers extened their lead to 10 to 1 but Muff n Men 3 answered right back with a 5-run inning them selves. Great defense kept Hittin Dingers at bay in the top of the 5th inning, while the Muff n Men 3 chipped away at the lead with 3 runs in the bottom half to make the score 10-9. The 6th inning became a tense showdown as some timely hitting knocked in an insurance run for Hittin DIngers. However, Muff n Men 3 had their eyes on the prize as after their first out they knocked in base knock after base knock to plate the 3 runs they needed to secure another championship by a score of 12-11. The Muff n Men 3 became back to back to back Monday Softball league champions!
