CMA Softball Final

CMA Softball final

 

The second round of the playoffs saw the two top seeds being knocked off. First Odin upended Fairfield 25-12. Then came the showdown between Glencore and Stolt. Glencore hit the ball well but it seemed it was always just within reach of a Stolt fielder. Stolt-Nielsen continued it's trend of getting better as the season progresses. Final score Stolt 16 Glencore 3.

 

 

Now to the grand finale

  

Last night was as an exciting Championship game as I have seen in years. Through the assistance of Dennis Conetta of Stolt-Nielsen we were able to secure Scalzi Park with lights for the final game. Good thing as they certainly came into play.

 

Throughout the game it was hard to tell from the Stolt bench who was ahead as they continued to cheer every aspect of the game regardless of the score. Stolt brought a good crowd and they enjoyed every minute there. At the end of the 7th inning the tally stood at 10 runs each meaning extra inning under the lights. The top of the 8th Stolt went down in order putting them at  the mercy of the mighty bats of Odin. With two runners on and two out Odin hits a frozen rope unfortunately right at the shortstop. It was the type of hit that when it hits the glove you can hear the smack loud and clear. Now we head to the 9th where Stolt finds their hitting stroke and knocks in 3 runs. In typical Yankee (or some might say Red Sox) fashion Odin returned the favor plus one for a walk-off 14-13 victory.

 

Congratulations to Odin on their hard fought win. Congratulation to Stolt-Nielsen for a strong finish to their season.

 

I will let everyone know when the trophies will be awarded.

 

Thanks to everyone for making it a most enjoyable season.
