Summer Co-ed Softball at Irving Park Mon/Tue/Wed

On occasion, sports offer a platform for an athlete to transcend the competition and the game played. Such was the case when Jon of Baseloaders transcended softball with his stunning performance.  Time after time, Baseloaders turned to Jon when they needed to get out of an inning due to his incredible fielding skills. Time and time again, Jon answered the call, doing it all at the pitchers mound. Jon recorded out after out, fielding ground balls, line drives, and even tallying a couple of strike outs. For his stellar performance, Jon is our Player of the Week! Congratulations!

No bunting this October. KD was hitting the ball so hard it didn’t want to come back. Solid defense as well. Woop woop that’s the player or the week!

No matter how intense the competition, there should always be room for sportsmanship in any game. Kevin repeatedly was energized and kept his team in high spirits, even when they started to fall behind towards the game. Regardless, Kevin made sure to keep his teams energy up and do whatever he could to spark the rally. Kevin truly embodied the Underdog spirit with his attitude. For increasing the fun had by all, Kevin is our Player of the Week. Congratulations!

Rachel is the player of the week because of some great base hits she had. Rachel batted last in the team’s lineup, but that didn’t stop her from having a big impact in her team’s win.

Aubrey’s team was losing 12-10 in the top of the 7th inning with 2 outs when she got up to bat. She hit a single that scored 2 runs. Then went on to score the go ahead run to help her team win a very close game.

Softball is truly a team sport. However, now and again, it allows some players to absolutely shine when the spotlight is on them. Jeff from Big Pink did just that. From incredible pitching to being automatic at the plate, Jeff was in his own world tonight. He made plays at pitcher and continuously hit the ball deep allowing his team to get ahead early. Energy 350 tried to make a late run, but Jeff’s pitching was too much to handle as he was able to deal the deal and help his team get the win. For the amazing performance displayed on the diamond today, Jeff is our player of the week!
