The indy league team won last night, but in even bigger news, this city's pre-eminent softball squad stormed Drumheller this weekend and walked away with the c pool championship! It is, of course, the first title claimed by any of our fine forum's representative teams.

In other, minor, news, Shawnski's team won the A pool. And the league title. And most of the door prizes...

And seriously, Shawnski, why the heck do you keep scheduling our team vs. yours in the round robin? At least we held you to 11...

Only downside is that we got just 3. A one run loss, and an 11-8 defeat later, and our rope-a-dope scheme played out perfectly, as we clobbered a team of college drunks in the C semifinals before wrapping the season up with a tight 11-9 (or was it 12-10?) final in the title game. Our fine squad of lads and lasses overcame much adversity, including two of us getting spiked by runners sliding into the bases (don't worry Shawnski, it was accidental), and one player battling the flu the entire tournament. Nevermind that half our team is still on the DL. How's the foot, Cowboy?

And yes, believe it or not SW, Redvan actually hit a home run over the fence today that bounced and rolled halfway to Calgary. Didn't quite fare so well in the home run derby though. He also pitched five complete games.

Kerplunk should have the championship team photo up at some point.

But if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go pass out now. Looking forward to next year already!
