new!!! Latest news

There is sad news to report. OPERS has killed Intramurals softball at the UCSC campus. After eliminating the fall season two years ago, OPERS completed their elimination of UCSC softball by removing it entirely from the UCSC Intramurals program.

If UCSC softball is to be revived, it can only happen if it is demanded by UCSC undergraduates and graduate students. Please send e-mail to Clint Angus at (cangus@ucsc.edu) to express your views on this matter and to demand that Intramurals softball be reinstated on this campus.

Next Game

I would have liked to have announced that the next game will take place in April 2019. But, at the present time, softball has been eliminated from the Intramurals program. If you are still interested in keeping softball alive consider voicing your opinion (as suggested above). Meanwhile, please contact the Re-Entry captain, Andrew Meyer at (andrewmeyer@ucsc.edu) if you are interested in the occasional weekend pickup game.

The Championship Game was a rematch of the Re-Entry vs. SC Sluggers regular season game, in which Re-Entry lost in a close contest by the score of 20--16. On this afternoon, it was a game for the Championship T-shirts. In the top of the first inning, the first two Re-Entry batters hit consecutive singles. Following a groundout, Elijah blasted a double to deep left center field, but a strong throw from the outfield left runners on second and third with only one run scoring. What followed was the critical play that changed the psychology of the game. Andrew hit a ground ball to the hole between second and third. As the shortstop field the ball, Joe who was the runner at third hesitated. This allowed Andrew to beat the throw to first base. Meanwhile, Joe broke for the plate. The first baseman threw a strike to the catcher as Joe slid under the tag. Joe was safe, but the lone umpire on the field who was positioned up the first base line called Joe out. With no video repeal available, Re-Entry was denied the run and a potentially big inning. Mike followed with an RBI single to left field, with Elijah scoring easily for the second Re-Entry run, but that was the end of the scoring, as Katie grounded into a force play to end the inning.

The SC Sluggers responded with a big inning. Aided by a number of defensive miscues by Re-Entry, including a missed opportunity 6-4-3 double play when the throw to first base was wild, SC Sluggers plated ten runs with only one recorded out. The ten run rule was invoked and Re-Entry now trailed by a score of 10--2.

In essence, that first inning ended all Re-Entry hopes of a three-peat in the Championship game. From then on, the Re-Entry bats went quiet, recording only four singles over the next five innings. The SC Sluggers, an all male squad made up of members of the UCSC baseball club, subsequently went on cruise control, fielding only six players over the the last three innings. The Re-Entry defense recovered from the calamitous first inning and gave up only four more runs during the remainder of the game. But, in the absence of any sustained offensive rallies, there was little chance of a comeback.

In the top of the last inning, Re-Entry made one final attempt to make the score respectable. After an inning opening single by Mike, Bryce hit a line drive toward center field for a double (as the SC Sluggers had only two outfielders at the time). With second and third base occupied and one out, Spencer drove in the final Re-Entry run with a groundout to the shortstop. A line drive snagged by the second baseman off of Geena's bat was the third and final out of the game.

One cannot argue much against the decisive victory by the SC Sluggers in the Championship Game. However, this game represents the final nail in the coffin for Intramurals coed softball at UCSC. This season, the UCSC Intrmurals softball league consisted of five coed teams and one all male team made up of members of the UCSC men's baseball club. Indeed, Re-Entry prevailed as the Champion among the five coed teams with an undefeated record. But, it was predictable from the start of the season that the SC Sluggers, sometimes fielding only six players during the regular season games (as well as the semifinals and the last three innings of the Championship game), were going to claim the Championship tee-shirts.
