NYC Rush keep it loose at holiday tournament

The NYC Rush softball travel team are always in a hurry, it seems, to go head to head with the best competition around the tri-state region. But they slowed it down on Monday to do some stretching and warmups before the 14-and-under U.S.S.S.A. July 4th Explosion Bash Tournament at the Mount Airy Lodge complex in New Windsor, N.Y. The Lower East Side squad played four grueling games against some tough teams from Upstate, northern New Jersey and Connecticut, winning one and losing three.
