What The Fox?!

The Fox Social Club softball team, What The Fox, rallied hard against Mother Foxers in the early innings during their Wednesday night game, only to lose, 17-7. Despite the loss, they played really well that night.

The infield defense was strong and showed lots of potential, with Jayme Smith on 1st, Mallory Ball on 2nd, Amy Green on 3rd, and Siku Thompson and Michelle Duran switching off at Home Plate! The outfield did fairly well, but still need to work on communicating more with one another!

Batting improved as well! What The Fox scored 5 runs in one inning which tied up the game! However, their hopes and dreams for a "win" was crushed due to the Coach's last minute changes in the infield and outfield positions, which resulted in the other team scoring 10 runs in their last 2 at bats.

There were also two slide collisions resulting in minor injuries to two What The Fox players: Siku Thompson, rookie catcher starter, suffered a collision at home with an overzealous baserunner and Ben Wilson at 2nd was bowled over by a kamikaze Mother Foxers team member.
What The Fox also sported some new uniforms on Wednesday’s game. When asked about their opinions on the new look, some team members seemed to react better than others, “Jiminy, I feel like I should be an extra in a bar scene from the Real Housewives of New Jersey…”Ben Wilson

Overall, What The Fox ranks 19th in the league. The team have also compiled a collective -75 Run Differential, but their last performance has shown glimmers of promise.
