GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. --  Firefighters normally extinguish flames, but this July their bats were blazing and they kept on going.

The Grissom Fire Department scorched the 434th Civil Engineer Squadron 12-2 earning the intramural softball championship July 31.

The firemen opened up with a four-run first inning enoute to a scorching victory.

CE doused any hope the fire fighters had of a shutout, by notching a pair of runs in the second.

However, any hope of a comeback was smothered as the Jason Cahill crushed a 2-run homer over the left field fence.

The game was called in the fourth inning as the 10-run mercy rule was invoked.

Grissom hosts a variety of intramural sports programs and classes to help Airmen and employees maintain and active and healthy lifestyle.

The 434th ARW is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. Airmen and aircraft from the 434th ARW routinely deploy around the globe in support of the Air Force mission and U.S. strategic objectives.
