Argonaut intramural team makes softball championship

For the Argonaut intramural teams, the players compete for fun and to get closer with friends. Actually winning games is an afterthought as the players are better at writing about sports than actually competing in them. That all changed last weekend as the Argonaut coed intramural softball team swept its competition off a solid hitting effort led by sports writer Garrett Cabeza. A Cabeza RBI triple late in Idaho’s second game highlighted the Argonaut’s intramural tournament run. The team competes in the championship 11 a.m. Sunday at the baseball fields across from the Student Recreation Center.
