New Season Started

The 2026-27 Winter Softball Season has begun.   We have 4 teams in action.    Each of our three Sun and Fun teams have played a pair of games. 

Division 3 is undefeated, beating Rec Plantation (in a nail biter) and Continental (in a more leisurely fashion.)

Division 6A (last year’s Division 5 team) is also undefeated, winning 8-5 over our OTHER Division 6 team (6B as we’re calling it) and then winning 13-5 over Del Webb.

Since the 6B team lost to 6A on Tuesday, they can’t POSSIBLY be undefeated.   Worse still, they had a less than stellar outing against Holiday Village on Friday and lost 20 to 12.   So, they begin the season 0 and 2.

The new edition of the Ladyhawks take the field for the first time THIS WEEK.    After sitting out last season because they had too few players, they’ve reemerged for 2026-27 with a good supply of players and (in my humble opinion) a much stronger team.   They begin play on Wednesday (at Summerglen) and play their first HOME game on Saturday at 10:30.    They will play Arlington Ridge.

Teams Information

Managers Dan Erwin, Mike Friend, Jim Herbert, and Tre Porter are getting their teams ready for even MORE heroics.   Why not come down to the field and check them out.    Next Home Game is at 9:30 Friday morning when 6A takes on Pennbrooke.   That game is followed by 6B playing against Del Webb at 11.   Then the next morning (Saturday, Nov. 14) our Ladyhawks take on Arlington Ridge at 10:30.

SPONSORS – we are fortunate to have many sponsors from the community outside of Hawthrone.    These are the folks whose banners are hung on our outfield fences.   They provide MOST of the funding for our Softball Activity, so patronize these businesses and THANK THEM for their support.    Their names and, often, email addresses, are listed.
