Early Spring Co-ed Softball on Capitol Hill Tuesday/Thursday

Seawalks are back again and they are firing on all cylinders. Their energy, their hustle and their togetherness has proven time and again that once they have these three things going for them, making them very hard to beat. It's not out of the question for them to throw up 35 runs in a game at any time. They produce runs early and often and if you get behind early you have a huge mountain to climb. Other teams in the league just be prepared to bring your A game when you square off with this team. Congrats Seawalks on yet another fine performance.

Only giving up one run during the game and with hot bats smoking, the Loco Locals took it to the Big Birds on Thursday night. Led by the awesome pitching performance of Dan, this team is looking good and looking to get in on the action for a league championship. Their bats are hot, their defense is solid and they are playing together which generally means that they are hard to beat. Dan also batted in multiple/critical runs to put Loco Locals ahead for good and they never looked back. It's always a pleasure watching this team play as they bring grit, hustle and bad assery to the diamond every time out. Great game Dan and great game Loco Locals.

Well the league has finally come to and end and for some teams it was a frustrating season to say the least. A lot of teams grew up this season and a lot of teams made their mark in their inaugural season. The Big Birds have had a rough go the past few weeks but on Thursday night they shined brightly dominating Basic Pitches and scoring a season high 21 runs in the process. They had it going from the start led by Mary who ripped off a lead off inside the park home run. After that the flood gates opened. When it was all said and done, Big Birds dominated and walked off into the sunset with a season redeeming victory. Great game Mary and great win Big Birds!!

The Designated Drinkers are moving on to the next round of the playoffs thanks to some resiliency, belief and just good ole luck. After being down for most of the game and with their hopes dwindling, they some how found the on switch on their bats and then the tables turned. Down nine to five heading into the sixth inning they tied the ball game with a string of blasts scoring four runs and forcing Loco Locals back on their heels. After holding Loco Locals to no runs in the bottom half they responded again in the top half of the inning ripping off a quick three insurance runs. Loco Locals came back out firing in the bottom half of the inning ripping off two quick runs but it wasn't enough as the Designated Drinker defense took over recording the next two outs on two amazing defensive plays killing any hopes of a bottom of the inning dream comeback. Great run Loco Locals and congratulations to DD for moving on to the next round.

The Designated Drinkers in their inaugural season have captured their first league title. This team, very un-assuming and very low key, they had the firepower to knock off powerhouse Seawalks. From the beginning this team withstood everything the no.1 seed could throw at them and they handled it gracefully while mounting an assault of their own. They helped themselves out by playing lock down defense and being able to score in every inning. In the end their bats were just too much for the no.1 seed. Great game DD and congratulations on your first ever league title.

This team has been at it for about 6 seasons now and have now captured the elusive USL league crown. Lead by one of the tightest defenses and one of the best pitchers USL has ever seen, this team would not be denied. The final score of 3 to 1 indicates how much of a defensive and pitching battle this game turned out to be. Being able to score 3 runs in the bottom half of the sixth inning assured their first title as the defense went into total black out mode. Hotline Swing could get nothing going in the top half of the 7th inning and before you know it a new champion was crowned. Congratulations to the entire team for finally capturing your first league title.
