Crushed our way to the Semi's

Who would have guessed? Remember how I thought we wouldn't even make the playoffs? WE DID!!! Shocking! Not that we were a bad team, by any means. We were quite solid, but we were in the toughest division possible. Coming in 4th place doesn't often make you feel as if you are star quality.

Anyhow- we made it to the playoffs. We won the first game on Thursday, solidifying our chances of playing on Monday- which came and we won 2 games that night- pushing us to Weds night. We won the first game of Weds night to play in the Semi's. Sadly, in the semi's our magic ran out and we just didn't have quite enough to keep up with Happy Hour as they were well on their way towards their own championship!

Overall- 5 wins in a playoff do-or-die run is pretty special. The other teams did not have to play as many to get as far!

A few special notes from the run:
1. We beat Triple Threat, who beat the NERDS in one of the craziest games ever earlier in the season. I was subbing and was about to be the first female ever kicked out of a slow pitch league. 3 dudes were tossed from our team, as well as 2nd base was tossed. Ump was drunk, as was Triple Threat. So, kicking their trash, quite handily at that, was wonderful. The NERDS thanked us for handing them their seats!

2. 3 of the final 4 teams were from out Tuesday -Red division! Woohoo---no wonder we were 4th!

3. Our guys rock!
4. The girls are all way better than we give ourselves credit!

5. Crush is my favorite softball team ever! Clique was pretty cool...but we lost a lot and it was way more stressful to get people to show up for sure!!
