Lords and Ladies 2011 Year in Review

Record: 6-6-2, 63 Points, Tied for 4th in the Recreational division

Playoffs: 1-2, eliminated in the consolation semi-finals. It should be noted that the playoff game we won was by default.

Highlights:

Erick, AKA "Stumpy", won the batting title, hitting .710 over 10 games.

Mike won the Home Run title, jacking 5 moon shots out of the park.

Jeremy had the most RBI, knocking in 30 in 15 games.

Lowlights:

-66 Run differential in the regular season, worst in the league.

New Members:

Three new rookies joined the team last year. Rakhi wowed the team with her commitment, enthusiasm, and overall positive attitude. Alex's skill and energy brought needed stability to the shortstop position. Brian wowed the team by performing acupuncture ON HIMSELF DURING A GAME. Check the dictionary under "awesome", and there will be a photo of Brian.

Notables: 

June 2, 2011 - Our team showed our guile by playing a game with only 7 players, meaning only 2 outfielders, and we only lost by 16. Could have been a lot worse. Highlights from that game included Mike's 2 triples and a home run for SIX RBI, and Jeremy hit for the cycle.

June 9, 2011 - We scored 8 runs in the first inning on route to a 19-7 win.

August 25, 2011 - Rakhi leads the way going 3-for-3 plus a walk in a 18-7 victory.

Playoffs:

We lost our first playoff game, won the second by default (the two sweetest words in the English language), and sadly dropped a close one to end the season.

However, let’s not look to the rear, and keep focused on what's ahead. Stay tuned for the next post previewing the 2012 Lords and Ladies Softball season!
