double champions

yes, not one, but two championships trophies were won tonight... my co-ed team and my mens team both made it to the championship game by winning through the playoffs and tonight, both team won... so one team celebrated the co-ed championship while the other celebrated the men's championship and i bounced around celebrating both... to make it sweeter, the two teams we beat finished the regular season in first place and both were undefeated... the first game i watched as coach let the other pitcher pitch and we were down 6-5 when i went in to pinch hit with bases loaded and i was so stiff from standing around but i did get to the batting cages earlier and that paid off as i shot a ball into right field and two runs scored so we went ahead 8-6... they told me to go pitch the last inning, wonderful (usually takes me the first inning to really warm up), but i was able to get them to mostly hit at people and struck out one so only gave up a run (it really was a big gamble as i was not warmed up)... so we won 8-7... co-ed champs, phew...

the second game, we were on... i went 3 for 4 flying out to right center my fourth time up, but hitting a good shot down the right field line with bases loaded my first time up, leading off with a single to right my second time up, and getting on with a single to second the third time up sending the runner on first to third and the runner on second home... three rbis and i scored one run and we won 7-0... yup, a shut out... in fact, a one hitter... the defense played well and i was really on and yay for a second championship...

nice big trophies... if the guys who took photos send pictures i might remember to post them or maybe facebook will find them... but dang league did not even give us championship t-shirts to spread the word of our grand successes lol...

it's a wonderful night :)
