Congratulations to Air Force Special Operations Command Korea's men, which needed two wins over Headquarters & Services Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion to win the 8th U.S. Army company-level softball tournament last weekend at Yongsan Garrison.

HSC 602nd ASB sent AFSOCK into the knockout bracket on the tournament's second day 11-4, but AFSOCK rallied to win its next five games, including 22-20 and 7-0 over HSC on championship Saturday.

Camp Casey's women had to work just as hard, falling in the first of two championship games 11-8 to Camp Humphreys before prevailing 10-0 in the second. It was a virtual rematch of the Firecracker Shootout tournament earlier this month on Okinawa, where Casey routed Humphreys in the women's final.

In the men's over-33 tournament, Yongsan left little to chance, beating Daegu/Area IV 17-7 in Saturday's final.
