Congratulations, Swingers!
The Department of Religion intramural softball team, the Almighty Swingers, finished the regular season at 8-1, good for first place in the Tuesday night co-ed AA-level league. It was the best finish in the team’s four-year history. The Swingers bowed out of the playoffs on Wednesday, Aug. 3, in the semifinals after a 10-1 loss to SOMF. The Swingers kept their playoff run alive the day before with a stunning, 9-8 come-from-behind victory over Red Reign.
Despite the semifinal loss, the team finished with its best overall record (9-2) in team history. “This team far and away bested any of my expectations,” said captain Neil O’Callaghan. “We played solid, fundamental softball, and we were the epitome of good sportsmanship. There was a ton of chemistry and we certainly look forward to 2006.”
