Hittin Dingers

First Place

Softball - Thursdays (Winter '15)

There is only one word to describe tonight's championship game between Hittin' Dingers and Missing Home: epic.

Evenly matched throughout the entire game--both teams kept pace with one another. A scoreless defensive battle ensued until the bottom of the 3rd, when Missing Home was able to push one across, thanks to an RBI from Marco. They added another run in the bottom of the 4th, when Arielle forced a fielder's choice with a sharp hit to the pitcher.

Hittin' Dingers got on the board in the top of 5 with 1st baseman Kevin, hitting a sacrifice RBI. Hittin' Dingers' Virginia would tie things up with an RBI single in the top of the 7. The 8th inning saw Hittin' Dingers take the lead, and then Missing Home took it back with a double RBI by Sean.

Heading into the 9th inning, Hittin' Dingers had to score 1 to tie, and 2 for the go ahead. After singles by Nick and Virginia, Nick was able to tie up the game up 4-4. Hittin' Dingers held Missing Home scoreless and into extra innings we went.

Back and back, back and back, until in the top of the 12th, Brie from Hittin Dingers hit a straight line to the pitcher who bobbled the grounder, scoring 2 runners. Missing Home had 1 last at bat, but came up short in the bottom of the 12th inning.

A defensive duel from the beginning and anyone's game throughout, Hittin' Dingers was able to come out on top.

Congratulations to Hittin' Dingers and to all of the teams that competed in a great softball season.
