Y&R, a team with players from Krum, Lewisville and Carrollton, won the Great Balls of Fire Ladies’ Auxiliary Softball Tournament.
Y&R defeated the Chupacabra, with it coming down to the final inning.
Several local teams were in action, with Ty and Shae Rutherford’s Swingerz team taking third. Geoffrey Loper’s team Bruised and Battered placed fifth.
The Black Sheep finished eighth and The Fit, The Fat and The Feeble was ninth in this 12-team tournament played under United States Specialty Sports rules.
“We kept things moving,” said tournament coordinator Lee Adams, a volunteer with the Bowie Fire Department. “It was a lot of fun for me and for us.”
Money raised from the tournament will go toward paying for a new hydraulic extraction device. Adams said a tidy four-figure sum was raised.
Games started at 6 p.m. on Saturday and the championship game was at 9 a.m. on Sunday. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
