Winter Co-ed Softball on Capitol Hill Sundays

Eric is player of the week this week for an excellent performance and toughing out a really bad knee injury on a fluky play late in the game. It ended his night early but he stayed in the dugout and cheered his team to the end.

Eric is player of the week this week by virtue of his dramatic, walk-off RBI delivering the Lions their maiden Underdog victory. With the bases loaded Eric smacked a ground ball to short which set everyone in motion. Hustling down the line Eric beat out the throw before turning to see his teammate cross home for the winning score. An exciting moment surely, and well worth player of the week honors. Eric also played well the entire night, with some other big hits and typically excellent defensive play.

Player of the game Sean is also player of the week this week at second base for Stranger Danger. Though his team was up by six heading into the last inning against the Junkyard Dogs, six was quickly four and suddenly the Strangers were starting to feel the pressure. Sean was up to the task, however, and promptly recorded the final two outs by fielding difficult balls at second base and flipping them to the bag to end the inning and the game, a feat made all the more impressive by Sean's relatively recent softball career. For coming through in the clutch and pulling out the win, Sean takes player of the week!

Alex Kremer gets the player of the week nod really for his stewardship of the Lions for the entire season, including their great play on Sunday for the championship. It is not easy to enter Underdog as a new team, and harder still to battle veteran teams all the way to a title. Alex worked hard with his team throughout the year helping them improve, and it paid off with his great pitching leading the way as his team rallied behind him and won the league crown.
