Hawks Winning Streak Continues, Now Tied for 1st Place

From Coach Crazytoe:

Hawks,

Thanks to everyone who came out last night for an exciting game against Lawyers. We won 17-14 in a game that featured strong hitting by both sides. Kudos to outfielders Russ, Greg, Jeff, Deon, and Pat for solid defensive playing throughout the game. Thanks also to pitchers Sarah Bessell and Janene Sawers (and to Pitching Specialist Anil Varghese); Janene sustained an injury early on and Sarah stepped in to pitch a great game. Finally, the play of the game award goes to 2nd basewoman Kate Eyerman, 1st baseman Daniel Noon, and catcher Anne-Marie Engelstad for an awesome 4-3-2 double play.

I've pasted the standings from the end of last week below to show you the degree to which we are kicking butt this year. We are now 7-3, and the Lawyers 7-4. Even if CNAS wins this week, we'll still be tied for first place. You guys are playing outstanding softball, and I hope you're all having as much fun playing as Nick and I are coaching.

Our next game is next Tuesday, July 28 against Mathematica. After that we have only 2 more games--against CNAS (Wednesday, August 5) and the rescheduled game against Detica (TBD). All 3 of these teams are (along with Lawyers) our main competitors in the conference, so let's keep up the momentum as we finish the regular season!

Go Hawks! Coach Crazytoe
