Last night, (11/2/2011) our very own Goon Squad emerged victorious in the 2011 Co-Rec Softball Championship! The Goons came to bat in the bottom of the final inning in a tied ball game… and they would not be denied! Congrats on an outstanding season! Special thanks to team captains Laurel Shelley and Justin “Biscuit” Strain for their exemplary leadership over the course of the season! You’ve done us proud! See you in the spring!
