Week one of Men's Softball


Team has a new name.....Mature Rage. To start off the season we drew first draw on a team, the Wreckers, that was in the Metro tournament last season and few of on the team had played them last season. It started out one particular guy kept hammering it over the fence. Well the only get one HR in this league and the next are outs. I still don't know why this "stacked" team is in the division. Anyway we lost the game 19-10.

Second game was pretty interesting and had a dramatic ending. We went up against a team called Hit-n-Run, they had won their first game blowing out a team and I though we were in for another battle. This game was a battle to the end. The first innings we jumped on them for 9 runs and after three innings it was 9-6. Fourth and Fifth innings both teams managed to get a few runs. Going into the top of the sixth its was 13-11, US. By the time we got up to bat the score was 17-13 and looking very grim, but we were able to pull it off and win 18-17. There pitching became the problem and we were able to get base hits and walks.

Softball season is here

Taking a break from flag football. I think Flag football spring season starts up in April. Now is the time for some Softball, adult style.

I currenlt running two teams, a mens and coed. The coed team is called AccuTech. We had our first game this past sunday and we endedup losing 15-5. A total of 18 errors, unbelievable. Outfield had a hard time judging the wind on the ball since it was very breezy. Anyway, we will rip it off seven straight wins for the remaining season. The coed team looks sharp with the new uniforms.

The mens team, FNIS, is my company's team. This is the 1st year we dropped down into a lower bracket to be more competetive. the upper divisional teams where just wailing on us last year. Hopefully we will come out the gate slammin. So much for that thought, already have a couple of people quit the team due to contraints, but i filled them up with my coed team memebers. Tonight is our first game, 855pm, amn that is a long time to wait to play.
