a few hours earlier

(thank the next entry, that is) i was pushing the body to a second day of softball after a rough first day and we started off as we usually do, rocking the ball and my pitching was great in spite of being tired, dehydrated (forgetting water and having someone go get some for me after a few innings), and having a few injuries including two fingers of my pitching hand that were painful and swollen… we shut out the team that beat us yesterday (they started the other pitcher and never overcame the runs scored due to his errors) 13-0… then, as usual, we had a let down in the second game and only scored 6 runs, leaving the tying run at second with the coach at the plate who grounded out to end the game… so we went 2-5 overall in two days… we are just not a “C” level team as much as the coaches want to believe we are… not enough consistent hitting and definitely not enough consistent fielding… but it was mostly fun and we’ll do it again in Orlando in a couple of months… hopefully with better organization and substitutions… long drive home to rest, eat, and party (self-indulgence :)
