On a clear, but cold November 2nd evening the tuesday 50+ Senior 
Softball season officially concluded. Several surprises some upsets, 
but a good time nonetheless.

The 6:15 game saw the #3 seed Marauders edge a fiesty #6 seed Union 
Jacks by the score of 15-14.

The two 7:15 games saw #4 seed, Motley Crew edge #5 seed Meyers 
Meighan by the score of 14-10.
Meanwhile the #7 seed Nats upset the #2 seed Stylers by a score of 
22-11.

The 8:15 games saw another upset as the league champion Hamel team 
fell to #4 seed Motley Crew (despite 2 mamouth home runs by Stu Levy) 
21-11. Timely hitting and excellent defense (3 crisp double plays), 
lead Motley Crew to the Championship game.
The other entry game into the finals saw the Marauders handle the 
upset minded Nats 22-11.

The championship gems saw, yet more controversy, as the upset minded 
Motley Crew took a 12-4 lead into the 5th inning. Showing their 
mettle, the Marauders scored 5 runs in the top of the 6th to make the 
score 12-9. Motley Crew answered with one run, and with 2 out in the 
bottom of the 6th inning when.... the lights went out. It was 
10:45pm. the NSA umpires immediately referred the game to the last 
complete inning and the final score was officially 12-4.

thanks to the managers, the players and the umpires for an exciting, 
if controversial Fall Softball season.
