Summer Co-ed Softball at Dahl Playfield Mondays/Wednesdays

This weeks player of the week goes to Megan M. for her 110% effort in the field. Megan early on played a solid 2nd base, even kockinng down a hard grouder with her chin. She stayed in the game getting good hits, and moved aroud on defense. The play of the night came when her opponent's big hitter came to plate. She stood in the outfield focused on the batter who hit a bomb to deap deap left-field and stole a home-run from the batter makig her the player of the week!

As the Captain of Hit This, Beth deserves this honor this week. In the battle of the winless teams something had to give. Beth's team trailed early and often but never gave up. Cheering her team on every step of the way. Beth, often took the role of team player and sat out more than anyone else so that every member of her team gets to play. But when it mattered most, Beth came up and help start the rally in the bottom of the 6th that would lead to 5 runs being scored and a come from behind win. As her team celebrated their first victory she gathered the team together, and did a cheer for their opponent and then lead her team to the hand shake and personally thanking her oppenent for a great game. These acts of leadership often get overlooked, but on this night, no one shined brighter than Beth. Congrats on your first win, and good luck on the season!!

Although he shared player of the game honors in the tie, Jeff Groseclose wins this week's player of the week honor. In a truly back and forth ballgame between Business Casual and Where My Pitches At, Jeff came through in the clutch. Although the game ended in a 13 all tie, without Jeff's 3-run homerun in the bottom of the eighth Business Casual would have been forced to suffer the loss. Fortunately, Jeff was able to come up with the big hit!

In the week's closest game the player of the week had to go to Jon Fredlund of Business Casual. In their game Business Casual needed a one-run rally in the bottom of the seventh to win the game. For Business Casual Fredlund was both a star at the plate and on the field. At the plate he hit a single, double and triple completing 3/4 of a cycle. In the field he was all over the place making catches which one fan described as, "masterfully graceful." Needless to say Jon had a great time on the field this week, way to go Jon!
