Last Games of 2025-2026
Tuesday’s three games marked the end of the 2025-2026 Sun and Fun Season. Division 5, after 15 losses in a row, won big. They beat Legacy 21 – 12.
Our other two teams lost.
Final Standings
This wasn’t a banner year for Hawthorne Senior Softball.
Our Division 3 team finished tied for last place. They won 12 and lost 16 games.
Our Division 5 team, though they finished with a win, also finished in last place. They won 6 and lost 22 games.
Our Division 6 team also finished in last place. They won 5 and lost 21 games.
Because of the seemingly constant shuffling of the teams in each division, some teams were given credit for ties. They really didn’t effect the standings, but, for the record, Division 5 had 1 tie and Division 6 had 4.
All our teams gave up more runs than they scored. Division 3 scored 375 runs and gave up 416. Division 5 scored 320 runs and gave up 445. Division 6 scored 265 runs and gave up 436.
So, there’s a bit of room for improvement next season!
