Close Losses Spell Quick Exit -- Play Two And BBQ!

First, I want to thank all of the players who represented Heavy Metal Softball this weekend for their effort, help, and cooperation in making our first CCASA Rec. Series tournament of the year a somewhat successful effort -- in the sense that we were very competitive against some worthy teams. Here are some final tournament statistics for those who actually visit our website and are truly interested in such things. Unlike in the past, when I published an extensive summary of each tournament regardless of the outcome, I will reiterate here again that I will only do so if we achieve playoff status or have a winning record, with just a bare-bones tournament rundown for those events of little distinction. So, without further adieu, I present some facts from this particular contest:
