The Bumblebees

First Place

Softball - Sunday Funday League (Summer '17)

"The Bumblebees" are our newest Sunday Funday League champion following a great day of softball by them.

Entering the day as the #2 seed, they got a first round bye along with the top seed "Team B". Unfortunately for "Team B" it didn't help them much, as they fell to the defending champion "Glove Love" by the score of 13-6 in a high-scoring affair. As for our champs, "The Bumblebees" picked up a great 8-6 win to clinch their spot in the championship game. Thanks to their win and the "Team B" loss, they would be challenged with defeating the team that had won the last four Sunday championships.

In the final we fast-forward to the sixth inning, with "The Bumblebees" down by the score of 4-2. With the bases loaded and a lefty up to bat, he pulled one deep down the right field line, clearing the bases and rounding the bases himself for a grand slam!

With a 6-4 lead heading into the bottom of the 6th, "The Bumblebees" were able to shut down "Glove Love". That wasn't without a small scare though. The defending champs didn't go down too quietly, getting a 1-out double to bring the game-tying run to the plate. However, thanks to heads up defense, they ended the game with a double play. After getting the force at first, the runner on third base was caught straying to far off the bag and was tagged out to end the game.

In all a very successful season for "The Bumblebees", finishing with an 8-1-1 record, but most importantly the championship! Congratulations!
