Beam Softball Champions At ASA Class D

Eight Teams Participate At Melas Field In Arlington Heights On April 7th

ARLINTON HEIGHTS: Beam Softball (4-1) came back in the 'if necessary game' to defeat Softball Season.com (5-2) 25-10 at the ASA Men's Class D Qualifier played at Melas Fields in Arlington Heights on April 7th to claim the title. Softball Season.Com had forced the need to have the 'if necessary game' played by beating Beam Softball 15-6 in the first championship game of this tournament. Hell Yeah (2-2) took home third place with Trainwreck (2-2) finishing in fourth place.
Beam Softball opened tournament play with a first round contest against Trainwreck and posted a 14-6 win onto the bracket board to advance in the bracket.
In their second contest of this eight team tournament Beam Softball and Softball Season.Com tangled in the first of what would be three meetings on this Saturday with Beam Softball gaining the upper hand winning 6-5 to move them into the winner's bracket finals.
In the tournament undefeated game Beam Softball took the field to play Hell Yeah and when the dust had resettled back down on the infield the scoreboard read Beam Softball 13 and Hell Yeah 7 giving Beam Softball the title to the winners bracket and spot in the tournament's championship game. Hell Yeah made it to the winner's bracket finals by opening play with a first round 9-5 win over Shoeless Joe's before stopping Outside Connection 11-7 in the second round of play.
Now Beam Softball had to sit and wait as the watched the loser's bracket being played out and when it was over Beam Softball had a rematch with Softball Season.Com on tap in the championship game. Beam Softball could not slow down Softball Season.com in that first came fall to them by a final score of 15-6. The second championship game was as close as any game could be up until the seventh inning. With the score tied at ten runs each Beam Softball broke it open in the top of the seventh inning scoring fifteen runs to win the game 25-10 and the tournament championship that went to the winner of this last game played.
Softball Season.Com took a longer path to the finals but they got there just the same as they opened play with a first round 16-4 win over Assault. In their second contest of this tournament Softball Season.Com tasted defeat as they were upended in a close game 6-5 by Beam Softball to drop them into the loser's bracket in this tournament.
Once in the loser's bracket Softball Season.Com went to work as they dismissed Shoeless Joe's from the tournament first by a final score of 7-2. Next to exit this tournament at the hands of Softball Season.Com was Trainwreck after Softball Season.Com posted an 11-3 victory onto the bracket board. Now only Hell Yeah stood between Softball Season.Com and a rematch with Beam Softball and Softball Season.Com kept their eyes on the prize winning 11-6 to send Hell Yeah to the parking lot with third place from this event.
Softball Season.Com took a measure of revenge from Beam Softball in the first game as they won impressively 15-6 over Beam Softball and in doing forced the need to have that extra game played in order to determine which of these two remaining team would be the champion of this tournament. That extra game was everything an extra game should be up until that fateful last inning when Beam Softball exploded for fifteen huge runs in the top of the last inning winning 25-10 to send Softball Season.Com home with second place from this tournament.
