The San Pedro Town Council Sports officially launched its highly anticipated annual softball tournament on Sunday, February 22nd, at the Honourable Louis Sylvestre Sporting Complex. The tournament, featuring weekly Sunday games, opened with two competitive matchups among Marlins, RE/MAX, Crushers, and San Pedro High School (SPHS) Sharks.
The first game began at 10:30AM between the Marlins and RE/MAX. RE/MAX quickly established control of the game, taking an early lead and maintaining steady offensive pressure throughout the innings. Marlins attempted to respond and narrow the scoreline, but RE/MAX remained dominant on both ends. By the final inning, RE/MAX had built a commanding lead, ultimately securing a decisive 16-1 victory to start the tournament on a strong note.
The second matchup of the day featured the Crushers against the SPHS Sharks, which proved to be a much tighter contest. SPHS Sharks opened with a promising lead in the early innings, demonstrating strong batting and coordinated fielding. Crushers, however, regrouped and gradually closed the gap, responding with consistent base runs and improved defensive plays.
As the game progressed, momentum shifted several times, keeping spectators engaged. By the final inning, the score was tied, creating a tense finish with either team capable of claiming victory. Crushers capitalized on key opportunities late in the game, stealing crucial bases and edging ahead. They ultimately secured a narrow 8-7 win over the SPHS Sharks, who delivered a strong, competitive performance throughout.
