Sheridan's

Those teams who have played against Sheridan's this season at Rose City Park have felt the presence of Alex Henshaw, a player whose vocal love of the game and willingness to poke fun at himself have been on display throughout the entire season. He's had his ups and downs both on the field and at the plate, yet always seems to find a way to keep his focus on the next opportunity to make an outstanding play at shortstop or get a rally started for his team at the plate.
The 12:00pm game against team dickbatz.biz was a competitive game from the first pitch, with team Sheridan's only trailing by six runs entering the top of the 3rd. Alex stepped up to the plate determined as usual, ready to start a much needed rally to keep the game close. One pitch, one swing, one crushed softball to right center field...this looked to be the one. He eventually found his way around the bases and touched home just in time to beat the throw, leading to much needed solo home run and 1st of the season for the team in green. Even though dickbatz.biz may have eventually won the game, it was Alex's determination to lead his team in home runs for the season and love of the game that made the first game of the playoffs one to be remembered.
