Students put their Torts textbooks aside and took to Park 6 and Copeley Field for a day full of sponsored jerseys and cleats. I, a 1L myself, am significantly biased in writing this article, but I will try my best to report impartially and make it impossible for you to tell which section I am in.

The day started bright and early with two 9 a.m. play-in games: Cases Loaded (C) v. Omnishock (LLMs) and Clearly Erroneous (E) v. Jurist Dingers (J). Cases Loaded and Clearly Erroneous (not so) slightly edged out their opponents and won themselves a spot in the quarterfinals. The 10 a.m. play-in game, Foul Play (F) v. Bad News Barristers (B) was a close match, but the Section F-ers were victorious and took home their first win of the season (yay!).
The quarter-finals came and went, the temperature upped 20 degrees, and suddenly it was the semi-finals. Acing and Abetting (A) squared off against the Injunctive Relievers (I), and Hit and Run (H) faced the formidable Foul Play (making it to the semis without winning a game the whole season, that’s got to count for something, right? Again, impartial, but come on.) During the game, Hit and Run did a lot of hitting and running. Foul Play did a little less of that but still managed to put up 3 runs despite their early start that morning. Alas, Section H came out on top, and Acing and Abetting squeaked out a win as well to advance to the finals.
3 p.m.. Copeley Field. The Championship. After a long day of game play, Hit and Run took home the trophy with a 14-3 win and were awarded some snazzy T-shirts (thanks Bracewell!). All in all, it was a great day out on the field. There were cute dogs, free pizza, sunshine, and two wins for Section F! Oh, and also congrats section H, you did great. Watch out for softball playoffs coming up at the end of the semester. I’m sure it will also bring great fun and glory.
