THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM AS CSM SOFTBALL
TOURNAMENT BEATS RAIN ON SATURDAY
March 16, 2009 -
After having the tournament postponed two years
in a row due to bad weather (snow in 2007, rain in 2008), the CSM softball
tournament returned to the field on Saturday, March 14. Ten teams took the
field for a full day of action.
The
weather wasn't ideal, but the sun tried to burn it's way through the clouds and
the players spirits were high as they took the field for the opening games at
10:00 AM. Clouds rolled in and a light rain began at 1:00 PM, which took a
toll on the fields, forcing the last games of the day to be canceled.
Still, despite the conditions, the level of play was high, and there were many
outstanding games. Pitt (NC) and Camden (NJ) finished the afternoon
undefeated (3-0), and Dundalk, Catonsville, and Hagerstown only had one loss at
2-1.
CSM
sandwiched a win between two close losses, falling in the opening game 2-0 to
Pitt, then defeating Delaware Tech (Stanton) 10-2, before losing a nail-biter,
2-1, to Finger Lakes (NY).
The
rain persisted throughout the night, forcing the final round on Sunday to be
canceled.
