Sunday, October 7 Heavy Metal Ends Tournament Year On A Sour Note! Last Effort Not Our Best Balanced Effort! First and foremost, I want to thank all of the players (and fans!) who represented Heavy Metal Softball this weekend for their effort, help, and cooperation in making our seventh -- and final -- tournament of the year a very successful -- and satisfying -- one.
