Despite a perfect season some of us chose to be losers

Winning the Spring A league is becoming a tradition for WW softball. For the third straight year WW has claimed their league title and this year they did so convincingly. With exception of the two Budweiser games and the first meeting with HDR, WW was able to coast through the season without breaking a sweat. Going into last Friday WW had put themselves in the driver seat of the league needing only to get a win against HDR or Budweiser in their final night of Spring play. WW would start the double-header against Bud who seemed to be the toughest competition seen by WW all season. Despite an anemic offense WW was able to get ahead early and play near flawless defense holding bud to only 6 runs. Pete escaped the first and third inning without throwing more than 5 pitches each. Not bad against a team that averaged a little over 13 runs a game. WW had some timely hits, most notably from lefty B. Macek who sent a sharp oppo liner with a couple of ducks on and turned it into a little league homer. When it was all said and done, WW walked away with an 8-6 victory and the Spring Championship.
After the victory against bud WW was able to sit back and take a game off, so to speak, against HDR. With the lineup flipped, the infield in the outfield and JW pitching WW put themselves in a position to get their doors blown off. In spite of their best efforts, WW again played spectacular defense with all the wrong people in all the wrong places. I think JW even managed to get out of an inning wasting only 6 pitches.
With Spring '09 in the books their was a roll call for the post season celebration. After much lobbying for more teammates to join in, a group of only four would make their way to Frisco to celebrate. There were wide range of excuses for missing the post-season celebration. Some had to get home and get their panties washed prior to the tournament the following day (I guess some people still hand wash their delicates). Others needed their sleep and I'm sure there were some valid reasons but in the end... Pete, Buckshot, Chris H. and Byron were the real Champions.
