The Complete Concrete Athletics secured the second jewel of a potential softball triple crown last weekend.

The Yukon co-ed team crushed the Whitehorse Dental Donkeys 16-4 in Sunday’s Co-ed A Dustball final to win their second straight tournament this season.

In May, the Athletics won the first softball event of the season – the Whitehorse Co-Ed Slo-Pitch League’s Div. 1 opening tournament.

A closing tournament victory next month would complete the trifecta, a possibility that had team captain Brett Green feeling excited Sunday.

“It’s great,” he told the Star. “Dustball is the tournament and we’ve been trying for years to field our team in this tournament. We were rolling and once we started going, it was just go, go, go.”

Green’s mom, Val Boxall, pitched a complete-game gem, holding the Donkeys to four runs.

“That was huge,” said Green. “She had a hell of a tourney. All of our guys were huge on defence. Gibson Pearson was picking up everything that came to him the last two games at third.”

“I’m pretty nervous all the time,” Boxall admitted. “But I kept my head in the game and just went inning by inning and didn’t get ahead of myself.

“It’s great to win with the team you play with all the time,” she added.

“Every year, I say I’m retiring, but somehow I’m always back out there. This win feels great.”

The Athletics won via the 12-run fifth-inning mercy rule, capping a tournament in which they did not lose.

Traditionally slow starters, the Athletics jumped all over the Donkeys in the first, taking a 4-1 lead.

“That was unexpected,” Green said of the lopsided win. “We thought for sure they were going to come out swinging.”

In the semifinals, the two teams played a much-closer contest and were tied 4-4 after four innings, before Complete Concrete’s offence came alive en route to a 13-4 win.

The team also put up five-run mercy scores in both the second and fourth.

Matt Kremer swatted a three-run homer in the second for one of his three runs, while Chad Curlew, Teresa Tanasichuk, Kary Donald, Joe Vigneau, Heidi Harry and Pearson each crossed the plate twice.

Vigneau nearly had a three-run shot of his own in the fourth, but his moonshot bounced off the top of the chainlink of the centre-field fence and back onto the field.

Regardless, subsequent hits by Harry, Pearson, Crystal Beaudry and Curlew eventually saw five runs cross the plate in the inning.

The final was the second time the Donkeys lost to the Athletics in Dustball, said Whitehorse Dental third baseman Robin Smith.

“We were hoping to win this one,” he said. “We all expect to win whenever we take the field.

“We just couldn’t hit today. Everyone hit well all tournament, except against these guys.”

Dave’s Cleaning Crew finished third in the Co-ed A division. In total, 40 co-ed teams participated in four divisions this year.
