The game that the EMO Swingers had been looking forward to all season had arrived. The chance to show our sister agency TRA what softball was all about!
Clifton Downs would host this epic battle and for many who played in our first ever game you will remember the absolute hammering we recieved!!
EMO made the…
And so the softball season comes to a close. A cool onlooker might have branded last night’s display by the EMO Swingers as, simply, a textbook victory. But for those of us pitch-side and in the fray, we’d say it was storybook. Nay, fairytale.
