After a 2020 season cancelled due to Covid-19, co-ed softball returned to Piedmont in late June.

The 2021 season features five teams: Baja Bombers, Beach Bums, Game of Throws, Muffintops, and Saints and Sinners.

Games are played at Coaches field on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The first game each night starts at 6PM, with the second starting at 7:15.

On July 7, Saints and Sinners hosted the Muffintops in game 1. S&S led 3-2 entering the last inning, but the Tops staged a furious rally to push the tying run across. The defense held in the bottom of the 7th, and the game ended tied at 3-3.
