Softball (17Apr06)

After a dissapointing weekend where rain ruined a scheduled tournament, a beautiful spring day set the stage for a nice doubleheader tonight. The first game was against on of the three USS Essex teams. The last team to beat us was their 'A' team and I guess this was their 'B' team. The first two innings were tied but we opened up in the third and scored 6 more runs. We basically won each inning after that only giving up 5 more runs in 4 innings and adding 8 more our self. I caught the rightfielder playing too far off the line and put one past him for a nice triple, after a throwing error I scored and capped off a 3 for 3 game. We won 14-7.

The second game was against the Essex's 'C' team. A nice grand slam from our shortstop opened the scoring in the first. We were held until the 4th where we opened up and scored 7 runs. They followed with 2 in the bottom and then we scored 5 in the 5th. Strong defense prevented another run and we ended this one early under the mercy rule. Total Force 16, Essex Snipes 2.


Season Record:13-3
