Correction appendedThe Intramural Softball season came to a close last Thursday with two thrilling championship games.

In the men's division, the fifth-seeded Lit Cannons took on the No. 3 seed and defending champions, Hu's On First, in a high-scoring affair.

The game started on Wednesday night but had to be postponed after two innings due to heavy rain. Both teams battled through the inclement weather to a 7-7 tie heading into the third inning on Thursday. When play resumed, it was a back-and-forth game with Hu's On First emerging victorious by a 29-22 score. Ben Wiener '11 and Matt Wiener '13 each hit a pair of home runs for the champs. Captain Sean Petterson '11 reached base in all five plate appearances, scoring each time. Lit Cannons got home runs from graduate students Nick Van Kley, Kevin Donnoly, Josh McGrath and Kyle Wiggins, but it was not enough to keep Hu's On First from repeating as IM champs.

The women's championship game was one of the most exciting in recent history, ending in dramatic fashion. Tiffany Pacheco '11 made a game-ending leaping catch against the wall in the left-field corner to leave the bases loaded as the second-seeded We Back held on for a 16-15 victory over three-time defending champion BWB. BWB came to bat in the bottom of the seventh trailing by six runs. They were down to their last out, still trailing by four runs, when they mounted a late rally. A walk and three-straight hits brought them within a run and loaded the bases for Amber Strodthoff '11. Strodthoff hit a rocket down the left field line that Pacheco snared with a tremendous catch at the wall just inside fair territory. We Back got first-inning home runs from Mimi Theodore '12 and Abby Blasco '11. BWB's Courtney Ness '13 answered with a grand slam in the bottom of the inning. We Back's Paige Blasco '11 and BWB's Janelle Rodriguez '14 also hit two home runs each on the day.

In other softball news, Taylor Bracken '11 defeated Ethan Davis '11 by a score of 15-2 in the Men's Home Run Derby finals. The women's bracket was a sibling affair, as Abby Blasco bested sister Paige Blasco by a score of 2-0 in the finals.
