Paws & Claws

First Place

Spring Co-ed Softball at Greenlake Sundays

Top seeded Paws and Claws came into Sunday needing two wins to secure their championship. First, the semi-final game pitted them against 5th seeded Hot Balls Summer, and it went down to the wire. Hot Balls Summer scored 4 runs in their final at bat to tie the game at 14. That set the stage for Meg O’Neil to cement her status as a Underdog softball legend when she came to the plate with 1 out and runners on first and second. Prior to leaving the dugout Megl called her shot like Babe Ruth, telling her teammates “I’m going to go win this.” And that's exactly what she did, as she stroked a single to score the runner from second base to send her team to the championship with 15-14 victory.

In the championship, Paws and Claws faced the vaunted offense of Look At This F$%@ing Guy. Needing to neutralize the powerful bats of their opponent, they turned to star Leftfielder Jared Wright… and Jared came to play. Over the course of the game, Jared tracked down nearly 10 fly balls. He made running catches, diving catches, and sliding catches all over the outfield and was truly the star of the show. Thanks to Jared’s defense, Paws and Claws jumped out to an early lead and never gave it up. Taking home the title with a 19-10 win.
