The Softball season came to its official end yesterday as we celebrated their success in morning worship. Several of the team members were present as we handed out end of the season awards. Sean Wilding was named Most Improved Player. Mark Staron was voted the 11th Player. The Best Defensive Player was Chip Chaffee.
The Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player was Tony Snurkowski. He joins Bill Discordia, Bruce Startz, Andy Miller, and Chip Chafe as the other players to win both awards in their first season on the team. Tony led the team with 23 games played, a team record 50 hits, 7 triples and 45 RBI. He and Eric Larsen combined to put up some pretty nasty numbers on offense. Eric led the team with 21 extra base hits, 40 runs scored, 47 hits and 13 doubles. Both of them also batted over .600 for the season and played great defense.
During the service Steve Contois shared some special music and the message was titled, "Hitting With God on Deck." The point of the sermon was that when we offer God our best he will make it count.
We also inducted two new members into our Sports Ministry Hall of Fame. Amy Brockway Meyer and Fred Stone were invited to come forward as we recognized them for their work in the bowling League and on the softball field, respectively. We also noted that Fred was a two time champion in bowling and a long time coach and past President of the Norwich Little League.
It was a great day.
