Fall Co-ed Softball at Lower Woodlands Mondays

The unstoppable train that is known as the the Empty Pitchers has been temporarily derailed. On Monday night the Yodeling Pickles finally put it all together and pulled out a come from behind win in what some might call the game of the year. Yodeling Pickles haven't had much success against the Empty Pitchers in recent seasons and a win would surely boost their confidence and at the same time let the Empty Pitchers know that we are here to battle and we will battle you until the very last pitch. This match up was an epic battle from the first pitch to the last pitch and in the end it was primarily the play of one man who quietly lead by example and probably played the best game of his career. Ben Kendall batted four for four with a deep three run base clearing jack, a solo jack, a triple and a double. He also played some very delicious defense at short stop playing error free ball all game long. In addition he batted in six runs accounting for nearly fifty percent of the offensive output. Two words, Beast Mode. Hats off to Ben. This win was epic for the Pickles in a lot of ways. Bragging rights go along way with this rivalry and that's really what was on the line. You could see the relief come over the entire team as soon as the final game winning run crossed the plate. A celebration commenced, the rivalry trophy changed hands for the first time in a very long time and the night was complete. Congratulations to the Pickles for a very hard fought victory and thanks for showing us that no matter the odds, as long as you bring it, you will always have a chance. Great game to both teams!

MIRIDC on Monday night sent a loud and clear message to the league and any teams who have been around for a while. They are on a mission. A mission to prove that they are and will be the best team in the USL leagues for years to come. With a combination of hitting, running, fielding and tenacity they look scary good and like no one can stand in their way. They simply destroyed power house Empty Pitchers on Monday night and in all actuality the game was not as close as the score indicates. The score was 23 to 8 going into the top of the seventh inning so that tells you the kind of game that they played and the complete domination they displayed. The playoffs are fast approaching and we shall see if this juggernaut can hold up to the rigors of fighting against power house teams in a playoff bracket. Congrats guys and gals and just want to say that this was a very impressive win.
