Spring Co-ed Softball at Paramount Sundays

This weeks player of the week goes to Josh Wofford for his power at the plate in a big scoring game. Josh was able to hit 4 homers and bring in lots of RBI's and helped his team in the point race they were in against their opponent. Great job Josh, and good start to the season!

Paramount Field finally saw a full Spring day & what a great day for Softball! The game of the day took place between That's What SHE Said and Arbornauts. This game started out as a great defensive battle blowing through 4 innings and a 3-3 tie due to some super efficient defensive plays on both sides. Going into the 5th inning we found out who the 'SHE' is in That's What SHE Said when Kelly Clark stepped up to the plate and promptly smacked a sharply hit ball deeeeeeep into left field and delivering a game-changing homerun! That homerun sparked her teams' bats en route to a 'run max' inning and providing the difference in their 15-12 victory! Big congrats goes to That's What SHE Said and Kelly Clark is the Player of the Week!!!

In a see-saw battle between two heavyweights, Ben came up huge with clutch hitting and made perhaps the defensive play of the year! A back-and-forth game left the Thirsty Turtles down by 5 runs going into the top of the 7th, when the bats lit up and the Turtles tied the game at 21. The Turtles' defense stood strong and held the Swingers scoreless in the bottom half to send the game into extra innings. In the top half of the 8th, The Turtles scored 7 runs, but in a game as unpredictable as Charlie Sheen, the lead was certainly not safe...until Ben Kelly came calling. In the bottom of the 8th, with no outs and a runner on, and the momentum beginning to shift to the Swingers, a line shot was driven to deep right-center. Ben, playing in right field, took off on a dead sprint, left his feet and dove to make a spectacular over the shoulder catch that killed the momentum and sealed the victory. A great game for Ben and the Thirsty Turtles!

Nick Goebel hit 3 HR's and knocked in 8 runs, leading Hit it and Forget About It to a 26-21 win over That's What SHE Said!!. The game was a see-saw affair and Nick always seemed to come through when his team needed it. His last home run came in the final inning as Hit It rallied for 6 runs to erase a 1 run deficit. Great work, Nick!
