Last Effort Not Our Best Balanced Effort!
First and foremost, I want to thank all of the players (and fans!) who represented Heavy Metal Softball this weekend for their effort, help, and cooperation in making our seventh -- and final -- tournament of the year a very successful -- and satisfying -- one. Here are some final tournament statistics for those who actually visit our website and are truly interested in such things. So, without further adieu, I present some facts from this particular contest:
October Bash Tournament Summary --
Tournament Record: 1-2 (no playoffs this time!)
1st game: Lost 11-26 vs. Handle It
2nd game: Lost 8-27 vs. Slow Motion
3rd game: Won 26-7 vs. Louie's Crew
Team Statistics (alphabetically):
Donny Aguiar -- 5 for 10; .500 BA; 24 points.
Vern Amaro -- 6 for 7; .857 BA; 17 points.

Manager's Award: I would like to take this time now to recognize a few other players who shined just as brightly this weekend with their contributions to the team: Paul Lawrence, Art Tabacco, Vern Amaro, Gene Hitt, and Joaquin Perez. Their stats above speak for themselves, but their consistency throughout the tournament is what I noticed most and appreciated greatly -- here's a "hats-off" to all five of you!
