JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq - In yet another exciting, come-from-behind game, the 402nd Army Field Support Brigade Outcasts topped 332nd Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron Dirt Boyz by a score of 13-8 to take the Joint Base Balad Softball Championship at Provider Field, Aug. 29.
The Outcasts battled back from deficits in each of their three playoff games, as well as the championship game. In their first playoff game, they beat the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 724th Engineer Battalion Badgers 17-14 after trailing by five runs in the sixth inning. In their second playoff game against 332nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron Eagles, the Outcasts came back from three runs down to come out on top 20-19. In typical fashion, the team battled back from three runs down to punch their ticket to the championship game by beating the 840th U.S. Army Transportation Battalion Rare Breed 21-17 in their final playoff game.
“We had a good season. We only lost five games all year. We’ve got a great group of players and when we needed to, we rallied together,” said coach Stephen Garner. “Every game in the playoffs we had to come from behind to win, but that shows what kind of a team we are. We never let it get us down and when we had to, we pulled together as a team and now we’re the champions.”
The Outcasts finished the regular season with a 22-5 record in the 28-team team league.
Taking third place in the JBB softball championships were the 840th Trans. Bn., Rare Breed.
