Our fall softball team won our first ever title tonight 12-11. It was back & forth all game. We went up 11-8 in the bottom of the 6th w/ three runs (all w/ two outs).
Then, the 7th inning was one of the strangest of the season. After being w/in one strike of the title in the top of the frame only to have a 3-run HR tie it up at 11, the LO had 2 out & nobody on in the bottom of the frame ... before our 7 hitter lined a single up the middle ... then JK smacked a single between short & third ... and as Mark K pulled up at 2nd base ... the left fielder ... unbelieveably .... let it roll right through his legs in a perfect Bill Buckner imitation. BIG Mark scored easily & the title was ours. Strange way to win.
Now ... sadly ... it is the offseason. Much nicer to end the season w/ a win, though. Only 130 some odd days until first practice.

Way to go, Bud! I hope the time goes quickly between now and then. I know how hard it is for you when there is no softball to be played. Mom
Congrats, bro! Very exciting and positive sports news. (so much of that seems negative as of late). Maybe now that the season is over, you will have time to shave:)Kathy
Even through all the acronyms I understand this is good news. Congrats. It's always a treat to wake up to a Dolberry blog entry. Keep it going.
I loved the team picture! You really take the game seriously. All of you look like champs! Hope you don't have a hard time getting your groove back in the spring . Keep on keeping on. Ciao, GM
