Go Meta Sluggers!!*

So previously I'd mentioned that a couple of my co-workers were playing softball. Well this weekend it was the end of season tournament.

Let me preface this by saying A) it's a fun league, basically a beer league, B) the team was never consistent as some players dropped out and some had other commitments which conflicted with game nights and C) the team was voted Most Sportsmen-like.

Let me also say that of the 20 games played in the regular season, they had won 1, tied 1 and lost 18!

So the first game was at 8 am yesterday. Yes on a Saturday morning. And like the good team fan that I am, I was there. They won that game. Second game was at 1:30. They won that game too. Third game of the day was at 4:15. And yes they won!

I'd never seen them win a game and then got 3 wins all in 1 day. Go Team!

At this point they had made it to the final game at 2pm Sunday. They only thing to be decided was what team they played against.

So this afternoon I went back (like I said, I'm a great fan!). Due to how both teams had played, we needed to win this game to get 1st place. If we lost we had 1 last game to get the win. Sadly we lost both. But it was quite close in the last game.

Considering that the Meta Sluggers went from last place in the regular season to 2nd place in the playoffs, I'd say they rocked this weekend!

*The team name is Meta Sluggers
