Fall 2008 Tarsi Cup

The first annual Tarsi Cup was a tournament of many firsts. For the first time ever, we welcomed a team from outside our league, The O'Brien's Machine from our kickball Motherland, Milwaukee WI.

I, for the first time ever, watched a game go to 13th inning, ending in a ridiculous game of 5 on 5 after the wind gusted 3 straight innings of foul-outs.

This was also the first time ever, Tarsi, for whom our tournament is now named, lost on their home soil (in supposedly, their last game ever).
