Sunday, May 20 Despite Record, Heavy Metal Holds Head High In Third Tournament of 2007! Better Chemistry And Individual Play Evident In This Contest! First, I want to thank all of the players who represented Heavy Metal Softball this weekend for their effort, help, and cooperation in making our third tournament of the year a very competitive one -- I feel we have something in us now that will carry the team to more wins than when we were floundering last year in CCASA Rec. Series play. Here are some final tournament statistics for those who actually visit our website and are truly interested in such things. So, without further adieu, I present some facts from this particular contest: Knuckle Up Extreme Challenge Tournament Summary -- Tournament Record: 1-2 (we played better than our record indicates!) 1st game: Won 11-9 vs. Total Kaos 2nd game: Lost 8-9 vs. Good Friends 3rd game: Lost 8-9 vs. No Limit Team Statistics (alphabetically): Vern Amaro -- 2 for 10; .200 BA; 6 points. Rich Avery -- 3 for 6; .500 BA; 5 points. Wes Avery -- 3 for 8; .375 BA; 22 points. Aaron Dawes -- 7 for 8; .875 BA; 24 points. Dennis Ellorin -- 1 for 8; .125 BA; 7 points. Lee Garcia -- 2 for 8; .250 BA; 4 points. Gene Hitt -- 4 for 10; .400 BA; 10 points. Paul Lawrence -- 4 for 8; .500 BA; 22 points. Mike Lujan -- 5 for 10; .500 BA; 9 points. Randy Pilgrim -- 2 for 8; .250 BA; 6 points. Matt Soares -- 4 for 8; .500 BA; 11 points. Steve Stafford -- 2 for 10; .200 BA; 19 points. Bill Thrasher -- 3 for 6; .500 BA; 5 points. Team Batting Average: .389 (42 for 108; we averaged 9 runs/game for the whole tournament. Again, we need to improve our team batting average, as this current one won't win tournaments -- something .500 or above might do the trick!) Tournament MVP: Aaron Dawes (24 points -- "Sizzlin' Stick" award!) 2007 Season Statistics (alphabetically; all players): Donny Aguiar -- 12 for 25; .480 BA; 38 points (2 tournaments) Vern Amaro -- 13 for 30; .433 BA; 28 points (3 tournaments) Rich Avery -- 7 for 26; .269 BA; 21 points (3 tournaments) Wes Avery -- 10 for 30; .333 BA; 50 points (3 tournaments) Aaron Dawes -- 7 for 8; .875 BA; 24 points (1 tournament) Dennis Ellorin -- 1 for 13; .077 BA; 9 points (2 tournaments) Frank Fletcher -- 11 for 23; .478 BA; 42 points (2 tournaments) Lee Garcia -- 8 for 24; .333 BA; 25 points (3 tournaments) Gene Hitt -- 13 for 30; .433 BA; 29 points (3 tournaments) Paul Lawrence -- 21 for 32; .656 BA; 71 points (3 tournaments) Mike Lujan -- 12 for 32; .375 BA; 36 points (3 tournaments) Joaquin Perez -- 2 for 6; .333 BA; 8 points (1 tournament) Randy Pilgrim -- 2 for 8; .250 BA; 6 points (1 tournament) Matt Soares -- 4 for 8; .500 BA; 11 points (1 tournament) Steve Stafford -- 8 for 29; .276 BA; 46 points (3 tournaments) Bill Thrasher -- 3 for 6; .500 BA; 5 points (1 tournament) Nelson Vieira -- 2 for 6; .333 BA; 8 points (1 tournament) Final Comments: So far, Aaron Dawes leads the race for the "Batting Champions: Metal Men" perpetual award bat, based on his current batting average of .875. But remember, a player must have played in a minimum of 5 tournaments to earn this recognition -- something to think about when I ask everyone next time if they want to play some more ball in an upcoming tournament...! |
