Mission Accomplished!
Congratulations to the McNair "Machine" Softball Team for making the Playoffs! But of course we made the Playoffs; why wouldn't we? We have the highest (George) and third highest (Scardato) player batting averages on our team. We are ranked 7th, but that is only one point behind of a three way tie for 4th, 5th & 6th. We held our own with every team we played this year, but I don't think our record reflects how well and hard we played both individually and as a team. For the record: I think this is the best year and best Team we've fielded in the four years that I've been coaching. We've had a lot of fun this year. We've won a few and lost a few, but we kept trucking (read: heads up if you like) despite our opponent's record or our own stretch of losses. I am very proud of this team and what we have accomplished! We made the Playoffs this year because of our record and performance on the field, not because Seekings* like us!
Playoff Game
Since we are the contenders in our bracket, we will face (the #1 seed) Rosen, Rosen & Hagood in the first round, next Tuesday (August 15, 2006) @ the Navy Base-6 PM. Notice the game begins at 6 PM and not the usual 6:30 PM. I expect they will have their best semi-pro "Romies" out there, but I think their hubris will be there downfall in the Playoffs-it is every year! The Winners (McNair) will play on Thursday in the second round.
If you can play please confirm via e-mail. If not, please come out and support the team next Tuesday! Also, if any of you all would like to have batting practice this Saturday, I would gladly you at Orange Grove for a couple of hours. Just give me a shout. (Photos compliments of HunCor)
*Obviously we are on the "outs" with Seekings or we wouldn't be playing Rosen @ the friggin Navy Base for the first round of the tournament!
Go Mighty McNair!
