Women's Softball Season Heads Down Homestretch

Senkbeil’s Clutch HR Propels Picture Perfect Into First
Women’s Softball Season Heads Down Homestretch with Division Up for Grabs

(Salisbury, MD) On Thursday, July 2, an amazing women's softball season became even more compelling with a dramatic walk-off homerun, two upsets, and first place changing hands yet once again. In the game of the year, Picture Perfect's Kristen Senkbeil hit a clutch 3 run homerun with two outs in the bottom of the 7th to defeat Designer's Edge 11-10. Picture Perfect led 8-7 heading into the 7th but Designer's pushed across three runs to take a 10-8 lead. With two outs in the bottom of the 7th and first place on the line, an easy pop up that would have ended the game fell in between Edge fielders, giving Picture Perfect new life...and that's when Senkbeil stepped to the plate. She crushed a pitch over the right fielder's reach and legged out a homerun in an amazing finish at Harmon field.

The win puts Picture Perfect all alone in a wild divisional race that changed hands twice during the night. Peninsula Printing headed into the night all alone in first but lost two games; the first to Bank of Delmarva, 8-6, and the second to Sharptwon, 8-2. Sharptown is not only playing the role of division spoiler, but the team is getting hot at the right time with 4 straight wins and could be the team that nobody wants to play come playoff time. Monday (July 6) is the final regular season game and will determine final seedings for the league playoffs, which begin Wednesday, July 8. If Thursday was any indication, the playoffs ought to be an exciting time with any team able to emerge as the 2009 champions.
The women’s standings through July 2 are as follows:
Picture Perfect 11-6 Designer's Edge 10-7 Peninsula Printing 10-7 Sharptown 6-10 Bank of Delmarva 5-12
