The first pitch of the intramural softball playoffs was thrown here July 27. 

Evening action consisted of three games. The fourth game between 10th Security Forces Squadron and Retirees was canceled due to lightning and rain. 

The fifth-seeded DRU/MSS defeated the fourth seeded 10 CES 26-13 in the first game of the evening. Riding on Tim Neuman's five hits and six RBIs, DRU/MSS built momentum throughout their first appearance of the night. 

The momentum DRU/MSS gained was quickly lost as the first seeded Hospital #1 defeated them 18-6. The medics jumped out to an early 13-6 lead by the third inning and cruised to the victory. Mark Lomenick led the medics' powerful attack with a grand slam and 7 RBIs. 

In what turned out to be the final game of the evening the 10 SFS walked away with a commanding 16-2 victory. The sixth seeded cops put on a home run clinic with 8 of their 16 runs coming off home runs. Gary Thompson drove in the only Hospital #2 runs off a single in the bottom of the fourth. 

The installation championship game is scheduled for July 30.
