Softball (12APR06)

A break in the rain gave us the chance to finally get on to the field Wednesday night. However a day of sun and wind wasnt enough to dry the fields out completely, so the outfield was extra squishy. And sure enough leave it to me to find out just HOW squishy. The first team we were supposed to play had to forfeit so theres an automatic win., the team that played before us stuck around and got to play us for the next one. A ball was launched my way and my first step was forward and I immediately regretted it as I realized it was going over my head. My left foot slipped forward as I tried to turn around and I pulled my hamstring, worse yet I fell on my fifth point of contact and the ball dropped behind me and three runs scored. Several other balls could of been made if it werent for the sloppy field. We gave up a 8 run lead and blew an important game. 13-9.

In the night cap our captain held me out of play due to the previous games injuries and had me bat as the extra hitter (League rules say you can play 10 and bat 11) I think this rule is for the older guys who cant track much down in the outfield, but anyways. We always play really well after a loss and tonight was no exception. We came out scoring 7 in the first, 10 in the third and 8 in the fourth to win a decisive battle 22-3.
