Resmondo double dips Dan Smith/Combat.
Friday-Sun., April 18 - 20, 2008
Resmondo/Worth's softball team took the first round of what will be many rounds of top notch softball this upcoming summer. They lost to Dan Smith/Combat 25-15 on Saturday in the winners bracket final only to come back through the losers bracket and beat Dan Smith 30-26, and 44-39 scores. Everybody's favorite pitcher Andy Purcell was tabbed for the MVP award. Don DeDonatis and teammate Brian Rainwater were co-defensive award winners while Bryson Baker was the Offensive MVP swinging his brand new Combat softball bat.
I spoke with Dan Smith's Scott Brown about the Conference tournament and he said he felt his team played real well in Florida. There were a couple of times where they could have folded but they didn't. They hung in there and got the job done. Once this new team has gotten some time in to jell a little bit there is no telling what they can do. He said he is looking forward to the next time these two great teams meet again.
My daughter Amanda is back playing again for the Cleveland State Vikings softball team this spring. Amanda who is in her second year at Cleveland State is looking forward to another great year playing ball. They have already completed half of the teams schedule and are in first place of the Horizon League. The toughest part of the schedule is ahead of them as they get ready to play in the League playoffs at the end of the season. The playoffs this year will be held in Chicago at Loyola Universitys softball field. Amanda has been tabbed as Horizon League Players of The Week twice this year already.
