Results For This Past Weekends Tournament

The McKay's Dirty Birds participated in a tournament this past weekend that Kip Revis put on at the Horn Rapids Athletic Complex in Richland, WA. The tourney was an open tournament that combined classes of REC, E and D teams and put them all head to head in one smorgasbord of glorious softball that was a brazenly hot weekend in the Tri-Cities. The temperatures reached well into the 100 range but there was softball to be played so we did. The McKay's Dirty Birds had a rough day Saturday going 1 - 2 so that forced us to go through the losers bracket Sunday, which we did, and ended up reaching the Championship game against an E team called the Mashers. The name wasn't a joke or play on words as they disposed of us 10 - 2 and took the tournament. Finishing second wasn't a bad deal considering the mix of teams that were out playing and we will wear that with pride. Aaron Massey - P, Jim Mehrer - C and Zack Chalk - 1B were voted our teams MVP's as they did a terrific job as usual. I would also like to thank a couple players that came out to fill in a couple of roster spots and give everyone a breather in this weekends scorching weather. Thank you Gibby Franco, Reilly Hewitt and Brad Andreas.
