Spring Co-ed Softball at Greenlake Sundays

Sunday's game between Hashtag and Here for the Beer wound up being a game where one person's plate work made the difference in a very tight game. Until the 6th inning things were very tight and both teams needed a break out. With his team needing some insurance runs to create a little run space, Ali Mastan, as cool as the other side of the pillow and with 3 runners on goes opposite field on demand and cleans the bags giving Here for the Beer a little breathing room going into the last inning. Here for the Beer's great pitching and solid defense also played a major role but it was Ali Mastan's perfect hit placement that allowed a little separation. After that the defense locked down and the deal was done. He batted 4 for 4 with a triple a double and almost an inside the park HR but was gunned down at the plate trying to stretch out a triple. Also batted in 7 runs. Great game Ali and we look forward to seeing you in action again soon.

With the sun back out, all teams were out and ready to play on Sunday at Greenlake! In the most back and forth game of the night, neither Pitch Slap nor Sluggernauts could pull away. The game had four lead changes and both teams were on their toes all game long. Perhaps no player was as important to his team on this Sunday as was Ryan Fahey. After their everyday pitcher had some "nail" issues after a hot shot back at him, Fahey stepped in and picked up where the starter had left off. Not only was Fahey firing consistent strike after strike, but he was crucial at the plate as well delivering a tying run in the the fifth inning. But where Fahey shined was on the mound coming in for the final 3+ innings to seal the win for Pitch Slap, capping the performance off by shutting out the Sluggernauts in the seventh to get the win! Nice job Ryan and Pitch Slap!

As usual and without all of the flair, year in and year out this guy flat out gets after it on any softball field. Look up the word softball and his picture is right next to it. He comes to play every game all game and its fun to watch. Well placed hits, aggressive base running and a glove that reminds me of a Hoover vacuum is why this guy gets my vote this week. Tino has been a regular in the USL softball leagues and every year he gets after it the same as he did the year before. He has one gear and that 's GO. Well, needless to say he tore it up on Sunday again and pitched a game where no one was going to be walked. Great game Tino and fun as usual watching you play.
