Burke Softball’s 2010 season on the diamond came to a close with a tough loss this Sunday in the PVAC Championship.

Burke was up 9-2 in the 6th inning of the PVAC Semi-Finals, when Thor, the Olympian umpire, issued forth a mighty thunderbolt causing softball time to come to an abrupt stop and all creation to freeze: The players were led from the field to their respective buses, where they discussed softball strategy and epistemology.

Ceviche (the DC soccer league team manned and womanned by various so-called adult Burke-ified players) had a rocky start to its Spring season – opening 0 and 2. Things were headed in the wrong direction as the team went into yesterday’s game. The team needed a major shake up. We needed to call in the [...]

Burke’s regular season came to a resounding close with a 3-0 win. It was a great match and a great way to celebrate Senior Night 2010… and a great way to send the team off for next week’s playoffs, peaking right on time. The night was capped by Pam, team Coach and James Dean of [...]

At the end of a tight game that saw the lead change hands a number of times, the MS Bengals won in the bottom of the 5th inning with Hannah’s frozen-rope, walk-off triple to deep left field. That drive knocked in the winning run making the final score 7-6. Before that, there was shut-down pitching [...]

The bad news is that yesterday’s MS softball game was rained out after two soggy innings, with the young Bengals in the lead. The good news is that the Nats aren’t the only game in town. Heavily stocked with 6th graders just brought up from Triple A ball and some more seasoned 7th and 8th [...]
Opening Day!

Tuesday marked a bee-ee-a-youtiful opening day for Bengal Softball. And it didn’t hurt that the team came away with a “W”. There was fine play all around – with some clutch hitting at the plate, including from Emma, Maya and others. And the hitting was accompanied by some fierce pitching by Savannah and some excellent [...]
