My apologies, I have been remiss in the posting of the saturdaysoftball wrapup.
Several factors are out of my control, and finding the time to post the weekly game these last 2 weeks have really been difficult.

I'll cut it short, and post highlights, roster and scores.

ONES : 1st: TS, 2nd: Princess, 3rd: DY, SS: DT, OF: Sandman, Gunz, TK, Horfun, Diana

TWOS : 1st: Indiana, 2nd: Guppy, 3rd: Swat, SS: Metro, OF:JAson, TH, Heidi, Seven, Mary

Game 1 : ONES 2 : TWOS 12 (mercy in 2 innings
Game 2 : ONES 14 : TWOS 15
Game 3 : ONES 4 : TWOS 4 (game called in 3rd inning due to soccer players)

Both teams look well matched, but the TWOS came out swinging, taking a 5-2 lead by the end of the first inning, and totally destroyed the ONES morale by scoring 7 runs at the top of the second to take a 12-2 lead. The ONES had no answer to this onslaught and took 3 outs to end the first game with a 2-12 mercy to the TWOS.

Game 2 started alot better for the ONEs. They took a early lead in the first with 3 runs, and maintained their edge throughout the game keeping the scores tight all through the game. But victory slipped through their grasps even after the first humilating mercy loss, and at the bottom of the ninth, with a 14-13 lead, the ONEs blew it away, letting in 2 runs for a 14-15 loss.

Game 3 saw the TWOs put up big bats to try for a hat-trick of victories, The took a 4-3 lead by the top of the third. The ONEs clawed back with 1 run to tie the score, but the game ended sooner than expected, as some inconsiderate soccer players decided to camp in our leftfield. We took to batting practice instead of completing the game to see who could hit a soccer player first.
