NOTES: In memory of the tragic occurance on Sept 11, the Madden Cruiser squad sported LEGEND SOFTBALL Gear. For those of you unfamiliar, many of the players on the Cruisers also play for a team called Legend. Their shirts (Pictured) use the American Flag, which we found to be very appropriate. The tournament was billed as an NSA tounrament, but wound up becoming a SCSA tournament in the bottom of the 1st inning. Our first game was terrible, but we played very good in our next two games. We fell one run short against Team Mizuno, but we should be ready to go for the PSTS tournament on the 29th.

GAME 1
@ No Fear	Loss	11-5
The first game was a mess. The top half of the inning we played assuming it was NSA rules. The umpire then went to double check that it was SCSA between innings, only to find out it was. For some reason our heads were not in this game, and all we could manage were pop ups and soft grounders to the 2nd baseman. No Fear went on to an 11-6 win. The story of this game was our .375 TEAM batting average.

GAME 2
@ Malditos	Win	24-3
After a two hour break, and the opportunity to take in the first quarter of the UCLA-Ohio St. game, we came out like gangbusters. With two outs in the top of the first we plated eight runs. Yes, the sticks FINALLY showed up, and we were able to do some damage. The Malditos were able to rally for a couple runs in the bottom of the 4th, but the 15 run mercy rule was on. Unlike game one, our team batting average was an astounding .725.

GAME 3
@ Team Mizuno	Loss	8-7
Our third road game of the day turned out to be our demise. Yes, after another two hour break so we could catch the 4th quarter of the UCLA/Ohio St. game, we came our ready to play. Mizuno was a combination of HB Smokers and Mark Chris "D" softball teams... so they came out with some skillz. We were able to build a 4-1 lead through two innings. Two big line-outs in the 2nd prevent what could have been a huge inning. Tim "Show" wilson allowed a couple runs to come across in the bottom of the third as he misplayed a fly ball to right center. TSK TSK. With the score being 6-3 going into the bottom of the 5th, another tough play did us in. With two outs, an HB Smoker player came up and DRILLED a ball to LCF. It was a well hit ball, but normally one that our RCF snags. It got by D. Lorati, and Mizuno plated 5 runs after that. That proved to be the nail in the offin as the Cruisers could only plate one run the rest of the way, and went home with an 8-7 loss.
