Hotlanta Softball closes out season

The Hotlanta Softball League closed out its season on Sunday with a party to hand out awards and wish well the league’s 11 teams heading to the Gay Softball World Series later this month in Seattle.

The event, held in the upscale Ten Pin Alley in Atlantic Station, featured bowling, pizza, the debut of the league’s new t-shirt for the Series and a cheer led by outgoing HSL Commissioner Emerson Ross that, well, can’t quite be done justice with only words. You have to see it performed live for the full experience.

Nearly a dozen HSL teams will compete for titles during the Series, which opens Aug. 22. Among those teams are two—the Venom from the Open Division and the Riptide from the Women’s Division—returning to the Series to defend the titles they won in 2007.
