The Hacks showed up last evening for one heck of a playoff game. The tension was high, the ball was lively and the team was looking for a little revenge against Worktank. In true Hacker spirit, they showed a tenacity and desire to win – playing hard with a never say die attitude until the very end.

How do I recap such a gut-wrenching evening? The Hacks, possessing the killer instinct that screams “never say die”, persevered last evening in a game that felt more decided by the umpire than by the teams.
In a show of support by the fans not previously seen this season, the stands were filled with a rowdy lot of Hacks backers. They came out to see the Hacks unload...

What do a Lil’ G (Gina) belly flop around third base, a Marcus (Marc Smith) game ending kneeling catch in center field and two lovers running towards each other on a beach have in common?

Expectations were flying high as the Hacks arrived at Maplewood to play the vaunted Poo-blee-seeees.

After falling victim to both a rain-out and a lights-out in the first four weeks of the season, the true potential of the Hacks had yet to be revealed, as inconsistent play and erratic fielding had plagued an otherwise impressive looking team. What was needed, the team agreed, was some solid weekend practice to sharpen their skills, refine their hitting technique and add some swagger to our...

On an incredibly balmy summer (or is it still spring?) late evening in Queen Anne, the Hacks came to play. Warmed up from a successful Saturday morning practice where 80% of the team attended and the thirst for their first victory of the season, the team arrived early and determined to play hard.
Evenly represented by nine women and nine men, the lineup was packed eighteen deep. ...

After a highly anticipated opening week drubbing, followed by a drubbing of the weather sorts the following week, the Hacks were anxious to play last evening. With the winds blowing out to left field and the temperature mild, the Hacks showed up in their temporary t-shirts of red, confidence level high and beer supply higher

Opening night of softball season has come and gone, and after an inspiring performance by our 17 person deep team, I believe it is safe to say we have earned our team name, the Hacks.
Inspiration (and entertainment) was found lurking around a few key corners. Mr. Benner sent a Ruthian blast deep into the night. Willie narrowly avoided having a chalk line smeared into his face as his own...
