SAN DIEGO - Headquarters and Service Battalion stomped Recruit Training Regiment during the women’s softball playoffs, June 21, with a score of 15-3.
The playoffs, held at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego’s softball field, consisted of a double elimination. The first team to win two games won the playoffs.
The first game seemed to be pretty evenly matched with HNS giving no real leeway to RTR. They held strong with a score of 4-1 for the entire game.
“We had a lot of new players this year,” said Staff Sgt. Hector Alanis, operations chief, Headquarters and Service Battalion, and HNS’ coach. “We even had some who were new to the sport, but we are doing well. We were close with this match, but we were still winning.”
After a short break so the players could catch their second wind, they began playing the next match.
“We are doing well this year,” said Lance Cpl. Jaimee Williams, an administrative clerk for 3rd Recruit Training Battalion. “The games are a lot closer than last year when Headquarters was scoring points like crazy.”
Headquarters and Service Battalion continued to be relentless with scoring points.
Lance Cpl. Caitlyn Maxwell, an administrative clerk from Marine Corps Absentee Collection Unit and heavy hitter for Headquarters and Service Battalion, hit several double runs.
“To be honest, the first game had us a little worried,” said Alanis. “The second game we got a little cocky and swept them fairly easy.”
With RTR fighting to stay in the game, Headquarters and Service Battalion knocked the game out of the ball park with an outstanding score of 15-3.
“We had fun practicing for this playoffs, and we had fun playing it,” said Sgt. David Farmer, a drill instructor with Support Battalion and RTR’s coach. “Headquarters has good sportsmanship and experience.”
