You Win
Some and You Lose Some – But it is Still FUN!
Over the last three games, the HMC team has
had a couple of wins and a couple of losses. On May 27th
we played the Mankato Mustache Riders. This was an exciting game
in which both teams were ahead at various times in the game.
Ultimately HMC came through with a win with a final score of 11
to 10. On June 3rd the team played a double header.
The first game was against Mac’s and HMC won with game by the 10
run rule with a score of 13 to 1 after 5 short innings. We were
not as lucky second game on June 3rd against ’07
Crusaders. HMC lost this game by the 10 run rule with a score of
5 to 16. On June 10th HMC played Spinners/Park Lane
Liquor and after a very close, back and forth game HMC lost in
the bottom of the 7th with a final score of 7 to 9.
Despite having a couple of losses the team is in good spirits
and is ready for our next game against MICO on June 17th.
We continue to enjoy a loyal fan
contingency with many dedicated fans attending every game. We
appreciate the spirit and energy the fans bring to the game. So
if you wanna have some fun – come out the ballgame some Tuesday
night. Hope to see you there!! |

HMC
Softball Begins with a WIN!
The HMC softball team played

This was a GREAT game – lots of hits and lots of great
plays. What a terrific way to start the season. This game
resulted in a Win the outcome column with a final score of
