Women’s Softball Brings City Recreation Summer Fun
Ottawa housewives take to Forest Park in the City Recreation Commission’s first women’s softball season. The games blend comedy with occasional fierce effort, featuring colorful uniforms and quirky plays. One game yielded 29-26, another 65 hits in five innings, while an 18-run inning tested the scorekeeper’s patience. The tone remains light with gracious players and humorous mishaps, including a plate collision that sparked a joking exchange.
