On Thursday, the Sacramento Federal Defenders, admirably coached by Henry Hawkins, beat the U.S. Attorney's Office in their end-of-season match. The USA's scored 3 runs in the first inning before FD pitcher David Harshaw clamped down and the defense kept them scoreless the rest of the way. The FD's put together a 4-run rally in the bottom of the fourth with the big hit being Paul Mann's bases-loaded two-out double, holding on for a 4-3 victory. The win capped an undefeated 8-0 season for the FD Court Gestures, giving them their third championship of the Justice League in the last four years. No truth to the rumor that the Federal Defenders exploited a loophole in the Summer League rules by hiring summer interns based on their softball skills.
