A Walk In The Ball Park

Well, Captains, there it is!  That's the 2012 TFTSA regular season all wrapped up.  104 ballgames over 15 weeks, complete.  It was a great year with lots of close games and fun competition.  Hope everyone enjoyed their regular season.  

Attached please find the final standings update of the year.  There were four standings ties to break, but all the tie-breaking is now done and the standings are final.  

And now the playoffs.  As you know, the top 8 teams in the standings have qualified to participate in our Championship Tournament, and the 8 remaining teams will participate in our Tier-Two Tournament, all on Saturday, September 15.  I'm working on all the details, so please stand by and I'll have it all out to you early next week.

Meanwhile, I still have a few diamonds available for next week if anyone else would like to reserve one for a pre-playoff practice or if you want to arrange an exhibition game.  First come, first served.  Please let me know, thanks.

All the best, everyone,

Thanks,

Howard

UNDEFEATED!

Game in a sentence:

The DangerCats capped off their undefeated regular season in style, with power bats and timely defense en route to a 25-14 (or something?) win over perennial challengers The Big League Chews. 

Shaking the usual tendency to start slow, the 'Cats opened the game with a flurry of hits and runs and never looked back. Aggressive base running, line drives to the gap and the occasional mega-bomb to the outfield (thanks Mike) kept Big League on their heels every top-half of the inning. While their hitters showed prowess throughout the game, steady DangerD all over the field minimized the damage and allowed the 'Cats to maintain a run cushion throughout the game. The ladies in particular hit the ball well, with hard hit shots up the middle and between infielders ensuring a steady diet of lady-baserunners. Hustle down the baseline didn't hurt, either.

Here are some gifs of y'all up to bat. Apologies to Edwards who is not shown here due to me hitting record at the wrong time while videoing.

Notable highLIGHT: We played the game under the lights!
