Don’t forget - Team Happy Hour Monday, July 20th @ Jon’s. See you guys there!
This past Monday night The Company took the field against the undefeated (26-0) Hit & Run II at Hunton Park. Needing a win or a tie against the best team in the Henrico County Monday Night Co-Rec Softball league to clinch a Divisional Championship, it was clear that The Company was going to have to play their best ball to accomplish their goal.
During Game 1, Hit & Run II did not show much weakness and controlled the game from start to finish; but The Company was ready for a change of pace when Game 2 began. The Company quickly showed that they we were able to produce with runners in scoring position, play smart and strong defense, and compete head-to-head with the undefeated Hit & Run II team. When the dust settled at the end of the night, The Company had reason to celebrate. With a tie game in the bottom of the last, The Company was able to hold Hit & Run II scoreless and close their season with a tie against the best in the league.
With this tie, The Company spoiled Hit & Run II’s perfect season and clinched the Divisional Championship they had been battling for all season. Great Season guys! We will see you in 2010 - better than before and ready for more.
With two Wins Monday Night over Cap Tech, The Company moves their record to 11-10-1.
Following a 13-3 Game 1 victory, The Company was tasked with a challenge during Game 2. The team needed two runs to tie or three runs to win in the bottom of the last inning. Collins and Pauli started out the bottom half of the inning by earning consecutive walks, putting early pressure on Cap Tech. Boswell soon tied the game with a triple that bounced off the left field fence. With one out, and Boswell on third, Jennifer Groome came through with a game winning hit up the middle. With these two wins, The Company gets above .500 and is looking forward to the final 3 weeks of the season.

Last night The Company split a two game series with Softball Team, who entered the night 8-0.
Game 1 was a duel, the home team had a clear advantage and the last at bat. With a tie game in the bottom of last and bases loaded, Justin O’neale came through with a single into left field. Ashley Davis scored the winning run as Softball Team suffered their first loss of the season. (W, 8-7)
During game 2, we found ourselves in an early hole. After the first inning, The Company was down 8-1. As the game went on our bats came alive; but when time ran out we had fallen just short. Game 2 ended in a loss, losing by just one run. (L, 8-7).
Another notable mention from last night must be Liz Kornacki, who helped us out on short notice, contributed at the plate and made several plays at second base. Thanks so much Liz!
