Spring Co-ed Softball on Capitol Hill Saturdays

You wouldn't know that this was the first game of the season for the Capitol Hill league the way that They might be giants jumped out to an early comfortable lead over the vaunted Rainer Cancer Center, but going into the final inning They Might Be Giants held a nice 14-7 lead. Not to go down without a fight, Rainer Cancer Center came up with a big 10 run inning to go up by 3 runs. Stringing together some quality hits like they had earlier in the game, They Might Be Giants clawed back to even. It was then that Brandon Farrell stepped to the plate with the winning run standing on 3rd base. Brandon promptly drove a ball deep into left field to comfortably drive in the game winning run for a dramatic victory! Congrats to They Might Be Giants and to Brandon Farrell, our Player of the Week!!

You're picking a 3rd baseman for an all star team, you're choices are chipper jones, wade Boggs, or Sean Saulter. If you want to win while having a fun ol' time the choice is easy: Sean. At 3rd he made 2 amazing plays both diving for em and throwing the runner out. Definitely an all star fielder. Great job out there, Sean.

After a disappointing end to game 1 of their doubleheader, They Might Be Giants were looking for a spark to get their team going and get some momentum before playoffs. That spark was provided by Dawn N who had a monster game both at the plate and in the field making some great catches in the outfield. The effort and determination given by Dawn not only brought home the victory Saturday night, but provided her team with the needed energy going into playoffs! Great job Dawn!

Thunder Buddies rolled into the championship game behind great hitting and the great and crafty pitching of Jill Tollefson who all game long confused Puppy Tickler batters. She also helped herself out by batting 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a single and scoring 2 runs. Her mix of inside, outside and high arching pitches resulted in quite a few ground outs and helped pave the way for a punched ticket to the championship game. The entire team played their butts off and deserved to move on. Great game Thunder Buddies and hats off to Jill.
