City Softball League

The City Softball League is a local softball league.

1992 season

In the opening game, the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team and Springfield Police softball team played, the Power Plant and was down 5-2 in the ninth with bases loaded. Homer went up to bat and manages to hit a home run, and wins the game. The team goes on a hot streak, picking up wins against East Springfield softball team, Fort Springfield softball team (by a score of at least 33-7) and Springfield Heights softball team. Eventually, the only team standing between the Plant and the league pennant is Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant softball team. In the final game, Springfield Nuclear Power Plant hit nine home runs. In the bottom of the ninth, it's a tie game with bases loaded and two outs. Burns sends Homer in to pinch hit. Burns goes over the signals with Homer, but only confuses him. When he steps up to the plate, Homer becomes distracted by Burns' signals, and gets hit in the head by a pitch. Because the rules state that a hit batter gets to take a base, the power plant scores a run and wins the game and the pennant.
