SPY’s Charity Softball Tournament Report
By Craig Cappon
The 49th. annual covid impacted SPY’s Charities Softball Tournament is in the books. There were just seven teams competing this year due to the covid mess. Nonetheless, there were some great games played, as well as an exciting Home Run Derby contest.
The winning team was Chuck’s Mafia (pictured below)
Back row L to R: Andrew Cleland (holding Kyleigh), Jason Brown (holding Murphy), Dylan Cuddahee (holding Harper), Adam Woodbury, Tyler Trierweiler, Alex Arrington, David Arizola
Front row L to R: Zach Arizola, Chaz Arizola, Justin Pierce, Damian Miller, BJ Salazar, & Nate Trevino
The final game of the championship between the strong Slo-Motion team and the powerful Chuck’s Mafia team was a nail-biter. Slo-Motion had a substantial lead over Chuck's Mafia late in the game. Then the “thunder” erupted and Chuck's Mafia came from behind by scoring 21 runs in one inning. The final score was 39-36. What a game!
The final order of competing teams is as follows:
1. Chuck’s Mafia
2. Slo-Motion
3. Last Minute
4. Best Tax Service
5. Heavy Hitters
6. Gravy Train
7. Essential Ballers
The tournament Most Valuable Player Award went to Jason Brown from the Chuck’s Mafia team, who is pictured below (L) holding his son Murphy.
In the Home Run Derby contest there were 19 participants. Each batter got twelve pitches to see how many they could put over the fence. After the first round, Alex Arrington and Adam Woodbury were tied with six dingers each.
In the resulting play-off, Alex Arrington bested Adam Woodbury 7 to 5. Attached is the mighty swing of champion Alex Arrington.
