SPORTS >> 314 AMXS ruthless in softball victory over AAFES

The 314th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron softball team obliterated the Army and Air Force Exchange Service’s team after only three innings 26–4 June 18 during an intramural softball game at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. The only thing that stopped the onslaught was when the game was called after the refs referred to the “mercy rule.”

The trampling got off to a quick start in the 1st, after AAFES put up two runs in the top of the inning as the 314th AMXS batted through their lineup several times en route to amassing an astonishing 25-2 lead. Their lineup hit several home runs and smacked around the softball with ease, shocking the AAFES squad.

Facing a daunting deficit, the AAFES team tried to respond, but mustered only two runs in the top of the second inning. Although it may have been some consolation they were able to hold the 314th AMXS to only one run in the bottom of the 2nd.  

Just that quickly the game was over. The referees invoked the mercy rule in the third inning. The 314th AMXS notched an early season victory and AAFES was sent home smarting from the thrashing they got.
