Another Bleak Week for Hawthorne Softball Teams
The weather was certainly good but the results were not. Hawthorne’s softball teams lost all SIX games. On Tuesday each of our teams scored six runs! All three of our opponents scored in excess of 20. Friday saw some closer games with Division 3 losing by 5 runs and Division 5, playing better than in recent games, were thwarted by rain out after only 5 innings.
Upcoming Home Games
The first week of March sees our teams scheduled to play only 4 games. Only one of those (Tuesday at 10 AM) is at home.
Rest Of the Winter Season
There are only 13 games remaining in our regular 2025-26 season. Division 3 played 4 games, 3 of them at home. Division 5 has 5 more games, 3 of them at home. And Division 6 has 4 more games, only one at home.
The last full week of March is reserved for the annual Del Webb Invitational Softball Tournament. Right now, only Division 3 and Division 5 will be participating. The first games of the Division 5 tournament will be played right here at Hawthorne. Preliminary games in the double elimination tournament (lose two and go home) will be played on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, March 23, 24, and 25.
Teams Information
We have three teams in the Sun and Fun League. The managers are Rick Enright Division 3, Gary Karos Division 5, and Bob Hunter Division 6. They play on Tuesday and Friday.
The Ladies Softball Team is not competing this season. They ARE practicing (Monday mornings) and have almost enough players to field every position. It looks good for next November.
