softball follies

played two games today, won one, lost one... a triple, a single, some walks, a fly out... pitched well, but the team didn't show... one tough loss to the undefeated first place team, 7-2, errors and no hitting... i went one for two, though the out should have been called off because as i swung a ball from another field landed on our infield and distracted me, so i flied out... one big win 24-11, again errors were rampant in the first two innings, but finally patience at the plate and lots of walks (the wind gave their pitcher fits and at one point he walked eight in a row) gave us a lead and then, some hits blew it open (including my triple... bases loaded at the time)... if we won both games we'd be tied for second place, but we didn't, so we are tied for third place... we place the second place team next week, final game of the season... if we win, we play them again in a playoff for second place... if we lose, we tie for third... so hopefully the team will show up and we will win...

the afternoon league was disappointing... we lost in the semi-finals 10-4... i just couched on that team this year and half the players showed up so lethargic is was sad... errors gave them seven runs and only two people were hitting, so no championship game for us... the team that beat us won in extra innings 11-9... we should have won, but we didn't show up to play so... next season starts next week, i'll be pitching again and hopefully the team will show up to play...

mostly fun, once the frustrations passed...
