Softball Championship


We have faced the same team in the playoffs for the last four seasons and lost to them. This year we had gone undefeated in the regular season for the second consecutive time and knew that we needed to finish the season with a win against our nemesis. Well, we were down by a run in the bottom of the last inning. Chris had doubled off the wall in right to set up runners on second and third with one out. Joy came to bat and wasted no time lining the first pitch she saw into centerfield to drive in two runs to give us our first coed softball championship. Brett was coaching first base at the time and told Joy to stop at first base which irritated her a little because she wanted to keep going to second, but Brett told her "You just won the championship!" Brett is still more excited than Joy about her feat: a walkoff, championship winning hit is a rarity to be cherished and indeed we still are. Our team from left to right: Crystal, Carlos, Chris, Michelle, Lisa, Joy, Brett, Lara, Scott, and Jeremy.
