Heavy Metal Softball

Close Losses Spell Quick Exit From Points Race....

First, I want to thank all of the players who represented Heavy Metal Softball this weekend for their effort, help, and cooperation in making our first CCASA Rec. Series tournament of the year a somewhat successful effort -- in the sense that we finally got to play one! Here are some final tournament statistics for those who actually visit our website and are truly interested in such things. Unlike in the past, when I published an extensive summary of each tournament regardless of the outcome, I will only do so from now on if we achieve playoff status or have a winning record, with just a bare-bones tournament rundown for those events of little distinction. So, without further adieu, I present some facts from this particular contest:

CCASA Rec. Series #1 Tournament Summary --

                               2nd game: Won 13-11 vs. Scorpions
                               3rd game: Lost 11-12 vs. It's All Good
