Spring Co-ed Softball at Northacres Sundays

In the first game of this blustery spring day in Seattle at Northacres it was Spoons n' Scoons taking on Barking Geckos. This game was a gritty performance for both squads as Barking Geckos held the lead for most of the game, but never to put it out of reach for Spoons n' Scoons who made a real game of it in the 7th inning by putting up 5 runs to tie the game at 9-9. There was still time left so the game went an extra inning & that's where the game got serious. Throughout the game it was Mike Bersos who crushed all 3 of Barking Geckos homeruns, but now it was the bottom of the 8th inning with the game tied at 10 a piece & Mike stepped to the plate knowing he couldn't use the longball again....with the winning run standing on 3rd he hit a nice shot, but the play at home was going to be close....Cristy Loftus of Barking Geckos ran as fast as she could from 3rd towards home and as the ball reached the catcher who went for the high tag she got a game-winning textbook slide safely into home plate to help Barking Geckos take home the dramatic victory! Congrats to Mike Bersos & Christy Loftus, this week's players of the game!!!

This weeks honors go the the squd The Crows. The Crows continually get better week after week, and could be a big threat in the playoffs. The bats are getting louder and the gloves are being put to better use, and with the instruction of a passionate coach this team is a serious threat. In the top of the 6th inning The Crows were down 7 runs, at a point where most teams would roll-over, but the Crows did not. With great hits and swift base running the Crows put up 7 runs and tied up the game, making their opponent sweat. Though they fell just short in the bottom of the 7th, after the game it was they went into a serious team huddle and took away the positives that are continually accumulating after every game. Great job Crows, and everyone else watchout!
