The start of the 2015 Heritage softball team brought a lot of new faces, but mostly, it brought a new name. After 8 years of the Supply Sliders (and formerly the Capitalist Tools) we have been re-branded as the Founding Fielders. The name was chosen via a staff vote and that was the winner.
Unfortunately, the new name did not help us win our first game as YOUR Founding Fielders fell to the Koch Institute. The game started out well enough, however, as Gerren started the season with a Home Run (that was not without controversy), followed by a single by Ryan, and an RBI triple by Todd and a sacrifice fly by Tiffany. Geissler sat the table with a double and he was driven in by newcomer James, who came around to score to give us an early 6-2 lead.
Koch started to come back, but we also answered back in those innings including a 3-run home run by another newcomer, Nathan (who also made his fair share of great plays at short). However, the onslaught became too much for YOUR Fielders as they overtook us in the top of the 7th and we were not able to answer back and we fell 19-14.
Even though the season didn't start the way we would have wanted, we still had a great time. After all, we still had pizza, wings, and beer after the game. We look forward to, what should be, a very exciting season.

This is awesome. With really good scorebook-ing, it could be even more refined and this could really develop into a thing that all the staffers read.
19-15! Don't sell us short! Gerren was definitely safe haha.
