For the Children! 2008 Softball Champions -- Corporate Challenge - City of Richardson
Continuing a fine tradition of winning for Texans Credit Union, our team won gold this year with the Division D Softball tournament. We started the tournament with Game 1 on Saturday morning at 8am and led the team to a 6-2 win. The Texans then made it through the tournament with one loss (4-14) Sunday afternoon in a double-elimination gold medal round.
We played the final gold medal round with lots of passion and energy on Sunday afternoon. Coming from behind with 6-8 deficit, we gained four runs to post a 10-8 lead. However, our opponents managed to tie the game 10-10 with a minute left on the game clock. The Texans again rallied with a 1 run and held our opponents scoreless in the bottom of last inning to win the gold medal 11-10.
The Richardson Corporate Challenge is an Olympic style competition involving many athletic (and non-athletic events) held in the fall of each year. This charity event has raised nearly half a million dollars for the Special Olympics.
