The 2008 season got off to a hot start, literally. It felt like August of the 2007 season with the 90+ degree temperature on Opening Day. 

The early games were rematches from the 2007 playoffs, Arthritis vs a newly combined Emory team and Boys & Girls vs eventual 2007 champion Cancer. The outcome didn't change from last year, only the scores were a little more lopsided. A very rusty Arthritis Foundation squad was no match for a heavy-hitting Emory force. Perenial powerhouse Boys & Girls, missing some key personnel including player/manager Frank Sanchez, had a tough go of it against ACS, a strong returning championship squad despite losing veteran player/manager Lee Nazal. 

The twilight games were more tightly contested battles. Softball rookies Habitat made it a close game but were edged out by one run against The High. The once formidable Carter Center returned to form against a tough Trees squad coming out on top by four runs.
