Save Second

Another Quick Update

Dave — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 04:07:18 +0000

Things with the group are going great. We continue to raise money for the cause and that is going well. We have a tournament planned for November to finish out the fundraising efforts. We will likely get to around $7,000 once it’s all said and done. Every penny counts, so if you read this and think you can help us out, please contact us.

Since I last posted, the men’s team took second in it’s last two tournaments, the Softball World Cup Series Finals and the Labor Day Classic at Softball World. We have one tournament left until we finish the season out in Las Cruces, New Mexico at the Whole Enchilada Tournament.

The Coed team finally got back together to continue the season this past Saturday. We lost our first game, but then rattled off four straight wins to finish a respectable fourth in the Tournament. Our next tournament is the last weekend of September in Carrollton for the State Tournament. We’re feeling good about where we are right now and look forward to finishing the year out strong.

Things are great…

Just a few quick updates for you folks tracking what we are up to.

We are up to $2,000 in funds raised so far. We’re not done yet though. We are still hard at work with another round of jersey sales, which you can get into here, Kori’s silent auction, and a softball tournament planned in the fall, just before the Dallas 3-Day event.
After too long in my opinion, the men’s team is up and rolling. We finished 1st in the Softball World Cup Qualifier on July 5th and 4th at the Mesquite NIT on July 12th. We play next weekend in Houston for the State Tournament.
The coed team is on a break while everyone is playing men’s and women’s with the respective teams. We play again in August and September to prepare ourselves for Coed World in October.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO CLICK THAT DONATE BUTTON PEOPLE! It’s right there… up and to the right.

Recap from March 1 Tournament

Save Second Base played our first tournament of the 2008 campaign under our new name on Saturday March 1st. The tournament was a C/D combined at Softball World in Euless, TX. Our final record on the day was 3-2 which placed us fourth among eleven teams entered. Several players from our regular roster were unable to play in the tournament and we would like to thank the players who helped us out by replacing them. Those players were Marsha Reed, Sarah Reyes, Minidi Ramon, and Johnny Reyes. Our first game got off to a poor start as MFC scored six runs in the top of the first; however, we struck back with seven in the bottom of the first frame and never trailed again, winning by a score of 18-10. Our next game ended before it ever began as our next scheduled opponent, Conference Cafe, no-showed the tournament. The official result was a 7-0 victory for Save Second Base. Game three saw us dealt our first loss of the day, 18-8 to Bulldog Roofing. Bulldog has a very strong squad and should be a top team in Mixed C all year. We were never really in this game as we fell behind early and never posed a serious threat on our way to being run-ruled. The result was a trip to the loser’s bracket. We bounced back nicely after a long break in a rematch with game one opponent MFC. Several hits and some well-timed walks led to a sixteen run outburst in the bottom of the first inning and Save Second Base cruised to an easy 18-6 win. The victory placed us in the semi-final of the loser’s bracket and a matchup with Team Krush, a D team. The offense that put up eighteen runs in the previous game vanished and the game and our tournament ended in a very frustrating 13-7 loss. Offensive stars for SSB were OF Levi Lynch (11-13 .846) and SS Jimmy Martinez (10-13 .769). The top female hitter was Ami Gresham (8-13 .615). An inconsistent overall performance left our team eager for the next opportunity to prove ourselves. That opportunity will come Saturday March 22nd in McKinney. We look forward to a much better finish.
