In the LA/Quake game, the LAPD Blue took an early lead and held it for 5 innings. The Blue looked to be in control of the game but the Quake bats woke up and their defense started to take over. The last couple innings were all Quake and they beat the Blue in the bottom of the 7th. This game was another never say die effort by the Quake and it added to their legacy of never giving up.

In the Alliance/HardCor game, the Alliance opened up the game with a 10 spot in the top of the first but HardCor fought back and had it 10-9 after two innings. HardCor pitcher Mark Tolliver kept the game in check with superb pitching but it was not enough to get the game to end in HardCor’s favor.

In the match of the undefeated, the Alliance came out strong. The Quake answered but the Alliance stayed hot all game and took the victory.

The Quake went back down and played LAPD Blue who had beaten HardCor. In this game, the Quake came out strong and took down the Blue.

In the championship game, the Quake deferred and took visitors in what some thought was an attempt to make the Alliance play catch up. Fortunately for the Alliance, they did not cool down on their game break and their offense was relentless. In the end, the Alliance prevailed and added another chapter to police softball version of the Dodgers and Giants rivalry.

In the B Flight, Burbank/Glendale Combo cruised through the playoffs and had to be double dipped Chino Lockdown who was the surprise team at the 2009 World Series. In this game, it was close but Chino Lockdown won and forced the “if” game. In the “if” game, Chino showed why they had sleighed so many dragons at the 2009 World Series and came out hot and cruised to a big victory.

Although Chino Lockdown and The SoCal Alliance came away with the big prize, teams such as the DEA, SoCal Riot and San Diego Force all impressed and showed they were teams to watch in 2010.
