Panini's Upper Bracket Tournament Berth was Short Lived as They Fall 17-7 in 5 Innings to End the 2009 Summer Season
After an unexpected rainout forced Wednesday and Thursday make-up games, Paninis was rescheduled to play 5th seed Molly McGhee's 1 instead of 7th seed Softball Express on a Wednesday night. The impromptu match up proved to be too much for the underdog Panini's as they get waxed by 10 runs in 5 innings to end their playoff championship hopes.
September 2nd - Molly McGhee's 1
   
Panini's Finishes the 2009 Season 6-6 and in the 10th Place Putting them in the Higher Bracket in the Tournament
In Panini's 4th close game of the season things finally went their way. A strategic hit to right field in the bottom of the 7th scored that allowed the game winning run to score ended up being poetic justice against the unsportsmanlike pitcher and the rest of McCarthy's 2. Panini's finishes in 10th place (out of 20) and .500 on the season.
August 21st - McCarthy's 2

Panini's Comes Up Short Against Their Ex SBW Foe McCullough Tax 19-1
Panini's proves that consistent games builds their momentum. Looking like night and day from last week, Panini's comes out strong but comes up short in the end. Despite scoring 9 runs in the top of the 2nd and 6 in the top of the 7th, they get no cigar in the end to lose 2 in a row falling under .500.
July 17th - McCollough Tax
   
Panini's Falls 18-1 to Concrete Works
Panini's 3 week break made game 6 feel like it was their first game of the season. Their 3 game win streak came to a commanding hault as they hit a brick wall aka Concrete Works getting shellacked 18-1 in 5 innings. Panini's 3rd loss puts them at .500 at the midway point in the season.

Panini's is Off to a Rough Start Falling 12-4 in Game 2

New name, new unis, same story. For the second game in a row Panini's bats struggle and they have 1 bad defensive inning. However, the debut of 2 of their regulars created some bright spots going in to game 3 of their 12 game season.
