In their second tournament of the spring, the Bashers rallied from early disappointment to the "B" division final before falling in heartbreaking fashion to rival Bad News Beers. After going 1-2 in the opening round, the Bashers finished third in their group, which put them in the "B" bracket on Saturday.
Saturday started off well for the Bashers, as they won their first two games, despite still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes with the 9am start time. In the winner's bracket final, the Bashers found themselves down to 9 men. However, the heart of the team would not be overcome as they defeated the Bad News Beers with a late-inning rally for a birth in the final.
The two teams would meet again in the championship game. As the skies grayed, so did the Bashers' hopes. They were unable to post a come-from-behind victory and fell, 14-11. In the second championship game the Bashers were unable to compensate for being shorthanded again, and fell 14-2.
The Bashers were led at the plate by Tommy, who made his inaugural 2007 appearance for the club and responded by going 19-for-22, a cool .864 average and a team-high 3 triples while also topping the team with 13 runs scored. Glen was in mid-season form by knocking 4 home runs and driving in a team-high 16. In Saturday's action, Dave pitched for the Bashers and went 3-2 with a 7.60 ERA.
