Still No Wins

There were 4 games scheduled this week.    Hawthorne’s teams lost all 4, though all of them were much more competitive than the previous week’s games.

Division 3 played one game (Tuesday) and losing to Pennbrooke, 13-6.

Division 5 played TWO games and ALMOST won both of them.   The operative word here is ALMOST.    In each, they led for at least half the game but couldn’t hold the lead.   On Tuesday, they lost to Holiday Travel (or Villages or Resort) by a score of 18-16 and on Friday they lost to Lakes at Leesburg, 21-17.    Both games featured strong offensive performances (See <UPDATE> for details.)

Division 6 played one game (Friday) and lost a close one – Del Webb 14, Hawthorne 12.

Upcoming Home Games

This will be the last week our teams play a full 6-game schedule.    Both Tuesday and Friday feature HOME double headers.   Tuesday sees D3 and D5 at home and Friday sees D3 and D6 at home.

Rest Of the Winter Season

After this week’s games, there are only 3 games left (two are at home.)

The last 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.
