Looking back on a great season


The First Baptist Softball team closed out its best season since 1993 tonight. Sadly, it was with a loss in the second round of the play-offs. The final record for 2009 was 17 - 8. There were a lot of heroes this year. Chip Chaffee won the triple crown by hitting 11 homers, 53 RBI and batting .759. Dan Dutrumble gave Chip a run for the money in the batting race and finished up with a .740 average. He and Daryl Alves tied for the team lead with 12 doubles each. Daryl, Mike Staron and Chip all were on base over 40 times. Mike Young, Dan, Daryl and Chip all had more than 30 hits. Ken Kreger had his best season playing a strong shortstop and batting .511 with a .611 on base percentage. Sean Wilding batted .508 with 2 homers and 20 RBI as thew youngest member of the team. Mike Young had 4 triples to go along with his .569 batting average. And believe it or not, I got my 400th career hit. It took me 5 times at bat to do it but I did it.

Here are a few photos of this year's heroes.
