Early Spring Co-ed Softball on Capitol Hill Monday/Wednesday

The definition of persevere according to the dictionary is the continuing in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success. Last night the Junk Yard Dogs were down and out and things looked really bleak until the 6th inning happened. The saying goes that every dog has its day and last night was definitely that day for the Dogs. They went scoreless for 5 straight innings but somehow managed to hold serve and hold the Tots to only two runs over 5 innings. Then it happened. They seemed to have found the on switch on the bats and all hell broke loose. Before you knew it eight runs were across and the air just seemed to seep from the tires of the Tots. Not able to recover in the next top half of the 7th inning they conceded and an awesome USL comeback was complete. Great come from behind win Dogs!

After a few seasons in the league under their belt, some new additions to the roster and through good old perseverance, Batting Average is a force to be reckoned with. Last night they showed that against power house Soft Balls, Hard Bats. They battled for eight hard innings not giving an inch. The game wound up a tie but a huge victory for Batting Average. They proved to themselves last night that they can run with the big dogs now and can more than hold their own. Led by Jamal's leadership and jedi-like skipper abilities, this team is peaking, strong, committed and will require that you bring your A game before you tangle with them. I have nick named them The Big Red Machine. Great game guys!!

Batting Average just keeps getting better week after week. I have seen this team evolve from their initial season to now and their transformation has been incredible to say the least. They knocked off power house Junk Yard Dogs on Wednesday night and looked great in the process. Their batting has improved tremendously. Their base running is second to none and their defense has very few holes. I expect this team to go deep into the playoffs and challenge the more experienced teams for a championship. It's great to see what this team has become and it's fun watching you guys do your thing every week.

BGB is peaking right now and they are looking to shake things up heading into the playoffs. Their bats are hot, their defense is tight and they are feeding off of each others energy. They are looking to take on all comers and looking for a fight. Great win and glad to see you guys and gals get after it.

Cute Squad is poised to make a run deep into the playoffs and the journey started Wednesday night in their dominating performance against the Tots. Their defense was stellar and their bats were on fire. This team has all of the pieces it needs to make a deep run and only they can stop themselves from reaching the pinnacle. Led by Hannah's second base defensive prowess this team is looking to take on all comers and are ready for a rumble. Great game Hannah and great win Cute Squad.

Soft Balls and Hard Bats have done it again capturing yet another league title. I can't say enough about this teams resilience and their ability to play for each other. Congratulations guys and Gals on yet another league title.
