Softball 3-Peat 09
Your Rotary softball team has done it again, winning 10 – 4 in the annual grudge match against Kiwanis at Victory Field on Saturday night!
While it was a hot and humid evening the team came to play, but not without a big time challenge from Kiwanis. The first two innings were even with the score 1-1 after inning two. But Steve Lewey came through again this year to motivate our team with a very rare in-the-park, nearly over the fence, home run in the third inning. After that, the team really got energized playing both defense and offense exceptionally. By the sixth and final inning, and with Kiwanis loading the bases, the third out was a simple ground ball and a final out to second.
Special thanks to all who participated this year! We ended up with an awesome cheering section and sold over 100 tickets to the game! The fellowship was wonderful and the speech from President Denny before the game was inspiring. Of historic note, because the 2009 softball game and this year’s game fell between July and the end of June, President Denny may be the first ever to have won two softball games in the same year as President. Way to go. President Julian – we will do it again for you next year!
A second special thank you to John Vulanich, team coach and all the players who came out this year to play. As always, it was a wonderful event and we can’t wait for the game in 2010.
