Softball Recap

Here is a sports report of our status on softball from our Sports Chair, Jon Shubin.

Hey Brothers,
We had a great turnout tonight. We had plenty of players and girls on the sidelines to match.
Our first game against AEPi started strong with a 2 run lead and finished the game 12-5 to win the game into round 2.

Game 2 was versus Beta Theta Pi. It was close throughout the whole game with us only leading by a point. At the beginning of the 6th inning, we led 4-3. Beta hit a home run to tie it up but at the bottom on the 7th inning, they scored to win, 4-5.

We're out the playoffs but our effort tonight was amazing. If we continue our path towards the sports trophy with perseverance, we won't be stopped.

Short version:
*Defeated AEPi, 12-5 in Softball
*Lost to Beta Theta Pi, 4-5 in Softball
*Expect Floor Hockey Playoff schedule soon
*Alumni Basketball tomorrow(May 15th) at 3pm, University High

Fraternally,
-Shubes
