RayeLyne Robertson of the Darrin Wells Construction (DWC) adult coed softball team makes contact with the ball during the Moab City Recreation’s season-ending tournament Aug. 1-2. The DWC team ended up winning the seven-team double-elimination tournament on Saturday afternoon by defeating True Value Hardware in the championship game. True Value had lost its first game to DWC the night before by the score of 12-10, but made it through the one-loss bracket to force a rematch with DWC, which True Value won 11-9 in extra innings. The two teams then had to play each other one more time for the title, and DWC prevailed, 9-6. The other five teams in the tournament were Moab Heat N’ Cool, Ben Byrd Construction, Moab Combat Sports, Zax, and the Rockstars. The event wrapped up Moab City Rec’s summer schedule, but city recreation officials are already getting geared up for a variety of fall sports leagues and activities. Photo by Jeff Richards
