The CCIL Sluggers, an all-staff squad, competed in Haymarket Center's Charity Challenge 16" Softball Tournament Saturday, October 18, 2008 at Garfield Park. Initially, eight teams comprised of all non-profit organizations filled the brackets in hopes of capturing the tournament title and bragging rights. However, due to poor weather conditions, schedule conflicts and field permit discrepancies, many teams had no other alternative but to forfeit. Luckily, the CCIL Sluggers, under the direction of their fearless captains Mary Shaver and Patrick Taylor, were able to rally and play in the final championship game against a strong Haymarket Center team. After a hard fought batting and fielding battle, the CCIL Sluggers came up short despite Mary Shaver's triple and RBI. Haymarket Center clinched the title with an impressive 11-9 victory as the CCIL Sluggers took 2nd place. A special thank you to Haymarket Center for organizing this fun, worthwhile event and thank you to ALL the CCIL Sluggers who participated in the game(s)!
