Buddy Burgers chomps Quete for Coors title
by Misty Volaski

With temperatures in the 100s all weekend, it is a wonder that so many showed up at Sarzotti park to watch and play in the three-day Coors Softball Tournament.
However nearly 30 teams from around the county battled the heat and each other to officially bid Ojai's summer softball season adieu.
Buddy Burgers, the eventual winner, charged through the winner's bracket, besting Joe's Quick Stop, Green Bottlers, Bad and finally Quete for the championship title.
Quete, who ran circles around the losers bracket teams, advanced to the finals to go head-to-head with Buddy Burgers, a historically big-winning team.
Though Quete led, 3-2, in the first inning, and later in the fourth scored four runs, it was Buddy Burgers who had the mightier bat.
Buddy Burgers took the championship, 12-8.
Third-place all-tournament winners were:
· John Cabillo

Second-place all-tournament winners were:
· Chris Escabor
· Rich Tapasano
· Billy Alinzo
First-place all-tournament winners were:
· Tim Green
· Will Mackelburg
· Donnie Dimello
The all-tournament Most Valuable Player was Jeremy Lipton, of Buddy Burgers.
