Does anyone know what the order of finish was in the 55 major Plus Division?
1. Elite/Dudley 55 (AZ)
2. CornerStone (OR)
3. Sommerville Softball 55 (CA)
4. SoCal 55 (CA)
There's a "model of sportsmanship" back-story on this one ... Kudos to Sommerville Softball in a total class act for the good of the game ...
please share Sommerville"s act of sportsmanship Dave.
A player from CornerStone suffered a serious cardiac incident during off-site batting practice prior to their first game on Friday ... The team accompanied him to the hospital and was unable to play their two seeding games ... They were seeded last in the bracket and lost their first game (by run-rule) to Sommerville, who then lost the winner's bracket final and was slated to play CornerStone in the 3rd Place game ... Sommerville voluntarily forfeited that game to give CornerStone a shot at winning it all ... Elite/Dudley defeated CornerStone, but we think it noteworthy to acknowledge the act of sportsmanship by Sommerville to step aside and give CornerStone a chance for a better end to the event than they experienced at the beginning ... It's a fine example of what the Senior game is all about ... Thank you, Sommerville ...
That is a first class move on the part of the Sommerville team.
