Ready for the Fall Season

The Boys (and Girls) of Summer

Congratulations to the Red Hots squad for finishing with an 8-4-2 record for the 2010 summer season. Looking forward to having everyone back for the Fall!

Playoff Math

Three teams qualify for the playoffs. Fear This have already clinched a playoff spot, so there are only two spots up for grabs.

Remaining Schedule:
Meats n Sweets (0-6) @ Mixed Madness (4-2), 6:15pm
Double Trouble (4-2) @ Red Hots (4-2), 7:20pm
Off Constantly (1-5) @ Fear This (5-1), 8:25pm

Based on the Tie-Breaker information below, here’s our scenario:

To clinch playoff berth
- A Red Hots win
- A Red Hots loss, Mixed Madness loss which would result in a Play In Game between those two teams.

Should the Red Hots tie Double Trouble, a Play In Game between those two teams would occur.

Paloma’s Walk-Off Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive

It was an offensive back and forth battle with Mixed Madness until the end..

Down by two runs in the bottom of the last inning, the Red Hots clutched up and successfully loaded up the bases to eventually tie the game at 14-14 thanks to Jazz’s base hit.

Paloma then lined a single to left center to allow the winning run to score, 15-14.

The Red Hots are now 4-2 and still have a shot at making the playoffs

Tough Loss

The Red Hots at one point had an 8-2 lead, however the resilient Fear This, new no fear tonight as they rallied for 7 runs winning it in the bottom of the 7th inning for their team.

This puts the Red Hots at a 2-2 record and an uphill climb to keep their playoff hopes alive. Look for them to rebound against Off Constantly, who they beat in their first game of the Fall season.

Doubleheader Split

The Red Hots managed a split this past Sunday, winning 15-1 against Meats n Sweets and losing the 2nd game against Mixed Madness 9-8. The Concord heat seemed to wipe out the player’s energy for the second game. If the games were scheduled in reverse, we might be looking at a 2-0 day.

Red Hots escape with Season Opener Win

The Red Hots opened their 11th season with what folks would classify as a typical softball game. High scores with a side of “eh” defense. But folks, let’s stick with the positives.. All of the Red Hots players had outstanding at bats scoring runs and collecting RBI’s.

With a 19-9 lead in the bottom of the 6th inning, things got a little too interesting as Off Constantly rallied for 7 runs to get as close as 19-16. Thankfully Janis came through as Miss Clutch on defense with two of the three outs to seal the victory for the Red Hots.

Next week: Doubleheader time...
