The Tournament
The softball tournament ran
50 hours and 20 minutes
through Friday night’s chill,
Saturday’s dust storms and
wind, and Sunday morning’s
rain and drizzle. The tourna
ment was a double elimination
in men’s, women’s and corec
divisions.
All the final games were
close and exciting contests. In
CoRec play, Half Fast came up
through the losers bracket to
beat the Gusto Gang in the
finals.
The finals game was a close
one with no score until the top
of the fourth inning. It was a
three up, three down game
until the Gusto Gang brought a
man in to home on a double
and a single. The fifth inning
saw no scores, but in the bot
tom of the sixth. Half Fast was
suddenly inspired into motiva
tion and scored three runs. The
Gusto Gang loaded the bases in
the seventh inning, but only
managed to bring one man in
home to give the game to Half
Fast 2-3.
This tied the two teams and
threw play into a deciding “if’
game since each team had one
loss. The game started off slow
ly in the first inning with each
team only getting one runner
on base before retiring at bat.
The second inning started Half
Fast’s momentum as they
scored 2 runs. The third went
by quickly with no scores, but
Half Fast picked up another
run in the fourth.
It was not until the fifth that
the Gusto Gang got moving,
but when they did, it was a
Great Job!

visors, EMT’s and all student

weekend, despite the long
hours and adverse weather
conditions. Thanks for all your
time, effort and dedication.
momentum that scored 7 runs
for them. The sixth gave three
runs to Half Fast and two more
to the Gang for a score of 6-9.
Half Fast managed a tie in the
seventh and another score in
the eighth to lead 10-9. The
weekend had finally worn
down the illustrious Gusto
Gang who just couldn’t fight
the final score and lost the
game and came in second place
in the tournament 10-9.
In women’s play Half Fast
came up through the losers
bracket to face Lucky Strikes.
Luck was a lady that Penberthy
weekend as the Strikers
managed to pull ahead in the
last innings from far behind in
several tournament games to
win.
It was almost that way in the
final game as the score stood 7-
3 in the third inning for Half
Fast. The Strikers managed no
hit innings to bring their tally
up to 5 when Half Fast scored
to put the tally 8-5. The sixth
inning was the Striker’s lucky
