The highlight of this Sunday, July 14, in the Veterans League of the “Softball, quality of life” project was another double victory for the Shrimpers of the Veterans 3 team, which included a knockout to the Jagua of the Veterans 2 team. This “sweep” allowed them to discount a little stripe in its pursuit to climb to the top of the tournament, placing now themselves 8 games behind the leader, the Elephants of the team Veterans 1. On the other hand, the Jagua of the team Veterans 2 maintained its adverse streak and lost again both games, now moving away to 14.5 games from the top of standing.

In the twenty-third day of competitions of the Veterans League, of the Project: “Softball, quality of life”, the most notable note was the recovery of the offense in the three teams, in which nothing more and nothing less than the whopping 105 hits, were connected after the decline that occurred the previous week. This offensive “awakening” caused that after many previous competition Sundays, the three teams divided the results with one game won and one lost by each of the participating teams. Logically, with this division of honours, the difference in the standings was maintained.

In the resumption of the Veterans Softball League belonging to the Project: “Softball, quality of life" after three weeks without playing due to the Father's Day festivities and the rain affectation, the offense decreased considerably, suffice it to point out that only 72 runs were scored in the three games of the day, far below the usual average of 142. In addition, only 78 hits were connected in total, far below too of the average of 105 on each Sunday. In contrast, the defence was much better than usual since only two errors in the three games were committed when the weekly average is above 7. As a highlight, the Elephants of the veteran team 1 swept again, increasing their lead at the top of the standing, now to 9 games, as their closest pursuer, the Shrimpers of the veteran team 3, that lost the Sunday double game.
