Jimmies Softball
The St James Jimmies softball team ended their regular spring season in 2nd place with 19-9 record. They took pride in this achievement with putting together smooth double plays, hits in the gaps and consistent pitching during the spring season. Injuries would show up and adjustments were made to keep the Jimmies on track. They now look forward to the fall season with all the team camaraderie and more challenges ahead. It keeps them young and eager to win that next game for the sake of playing again.
