On Saturday, September 18, the MSL will be hosting a Recruitment Day. Players who are interested in playing softball and joining the MSL are encouraged to come out to Memorial Parks Fields 4 and 5. Sign in starts at 9 AM and the clinic starts 10 AM. The clinic will include throwing, catching, and hitting.
There will also be a table for people to register for Fall Ball. This fun and social league is a great introduction to playing in the MSL, and new players will be encouraged to join. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail message to mslcompetition@montrosesoftballleague.com.
MSL's 2010 Fall Ball will be a five-weekend league that includes a one-day tournament on the last weekend. All games will be played at Sportsplex. Games will be played on the following dates: October 3, 10, 17, 24, and November 7. If necessary, make-up games will be played on November 14.

The seven MSL teams did a tremendous job of representing Houston at the 2010 NAGAAA GSWS. Each team won at least two games over the five-day tournament.
The Force finished in 5th place out the 12 teams in the A Division. The Force lost a heartbreaker to the San Francisco Hitmen 20-18 and were knocked out of the tournament on Saturday with a 5-4 overall record. The Force also received the "Spirit Award" for the A Division.
The Hellcats played on Saturday for the first time in team history and finished in 5th place out of a whopping 42 teams in the B Division.After run ruling the LA Thunder in their first Saturday game, the Hellcats dropped their second game to the Long Beach Rounders 16-12, the team who finished second place. The Hellraisers had their most successful WS ever as well in the B Division and finished with a 3-4 record.
In the C Division, both the Toros and Wild finished in the 17th to 22nd range out of 54 teams. In their first WS ever, the Toros lost a heartbreaker to be eliminated from the WS but finished with a respectable 4-4 record. In their second WS, the Wild improved on last year's performance and finished the week with a 4-3-1 record.
The Wave made it to the WS for consecutive years in the D Division and won a game in both round robin and tournament play. Like the Toros, the Sons of Pitches played in their first WS and played extremely. They finished the week with three wins.
Congratulations to all the Houston MSL teams who participated in Columbus this past week. Finally, each team should be commended for supporting each other at the fields - everyone appreciated the friendly faces rooting them on during the game.
The MSL would like to thank all the 2010 team sponsors. This list of businesses and organizations are a very important part of our league. Again, we would like to extend our gratitude to all the 2010 team sponsors!
