Fentonia's softball team, the Hillsborough Generals, will be part of a three-way playoff to determine the City of Tampa Men's League Escambia Division Championship tonight at 7:00 at the Greco Softball Complex near USF.
After going 10-0 last season for a runaway division title, their first ever, the Gens came back from a 1-3 start to finish 7-3, tied atop the division with the T-Bags and the Big Dawgs. All three teams will convene at 7:00 tonight, with a series of coinflips determining which team gets a bye into the title game. The other two teams will play a semifinal playoff, with the winner of that also advancing to the title game. During the regular season, the Generals split with the Big Dawgs and swept two games from the T-Bags.
The Gens will be without team captain Buck, as well as Scotty B, Mike Delessio, and Swope. While these losses hurt, I will serve as acting manager tonight, and go with this lineup for both possible games:
1) Bobby Fenton LF
2) Matt Fisherman LC
3) Bob Haught RF
4) Dave Mangione P
5) Troy Howell RC
6) Artie Fordyce C
7) Jason Gordon 3B
8) Harv Fisherman SS
9) Chris Weis 1B
10) Anthony Fordyce 2B
It doesn't get any better than this.
