2009 Tournament Results

Groundhog Tournament

In usual fashion we kicked off the season in the groundhog tournament. In unusual fashion we did good going 9 innings in the first game winning against a big rival Big Pete's House of Muench! Then we cruised through the next game with a run rule win making it to sunday and the final four for the first time ever. On sunday we came out against a better team hung over and lost to finish with a tie for 3rd place. Which was our best finish ever in the groundhog!! We no longer keep the groundhog team stats due to the nature of the game, so theres no team awards!

NSA E NIT

For our first E NIT we played good defense through out and hit pretty good overall as a team! We managed to rattle off the first two games with wins in fairly close ball games! Then in the final four of the winners brackett our bats took a cat nap as we lost to show stoppers! Drunken monkeys caught us on are wake up round as we beat them! Then we hit a wall out of gas and against a very good team U&W local and they took advantage of it thumping us! But we still managed to place earning a trophy and 4th place going 3-2 in a 20+ team tourney!

NSA E State

Well this years E NSA State was at a much better ballpark (Athens in Lexington, great facilty) but that didn't help us as we played worse than we did last year! We were thoroughly thumped in our first game managing only one run. The second game are bats woke up for an inning as we ruled on to a run rule victory carried by that one inning of offense! But the third game was more disappointment as we lost to Pro Drywall who we had beat earlier in the year in the NIT! Eliminating us and giving us a tie for 24th place not very good.
