Dragons 2009

LSSE/Amherst Adult Softball League Coed non-umpired A-Division

revised 3 July 2009

Latest News

July 2: Rain again! We'll play Charlie's on Sunday July 19, presumably same time 
and place as originally scheduled.

June 30: We didn't really expect we would be the ones to break the Diamond 
Studs' unbeaten record. The final score was Diamonds 8, Dragons 3. Not bad: 
the Diamonds have had double-digit winning margins in 6 of 8 games for which
scores have been posted.  We played good defense, with two double plays and 
a spectacular catch of a line drive at 3rd base by Carla. On the offensive
side Darol had a home run, Tony tripled, and Mark had several spectacular hits.

June 29: (Webmaster got behind, sorry). We lost to Cowbells, to the Spare 
Parts by forfeit, and, yesterday, to the Turkeys. The last game started 
hopefully, we were ahead 2-0 after the first few innings, but in the end 
we lost 19-2.
