softball funatics

well, the first two games of this season were blow outs... 25-7 in the first game and we game away runs just to keep it going... and 19-1 in the second game (pitched a two hitter in five innings) and we stopped running the bases after the first inning... so far we appear to be the team that belongs in the upper bracket... two seasons ago we were in the upper bracket and watched one team go undefeated and another almost as good... last season we moved to the lower bracket and we finished third... this season we added four new people (who, after seeing them play, belong in the upper bracket) and we are all playing better than previous seasons... so two of the teams definitely could not complete with us and there are three other teams that will hopefully offer more competition... if not, we will be back in the upper bracket again next season... hopefully with the same players so we can compete better there... both divisions are Co-ed D Recreational, one just more skilled than the other...

so far i've gone 9 for 9 this season... a bunch of rbi and runs scored, but i am not keeping precise track of those and nobody keeps the book in this league... five of the hits were fieldable going through the infield, but a combination of the speed of the hit and the level of fielding of the players let me get on base... those five might have been outs in the upper division, likely one or two... still, i am hitting better too... part of that is the pitching we face because the pitchers are somewhat wild and have no spin or spot control which makes their strokes easier to hit... part of it is the lack of pressure as we have had a bit lead fast so i don't feel like there's any pressure on me when i get to the plate... but hey, i might also continue to get better too ya know :)

went to gators after the game again... they are supplying jerseys for this team this season...

onward to tomorrow's game, which should be much more competitive as the league is Men's C Division, which is a competitive level... none of the Wednesday night players play on the Thursday night team... other softball funatics... we won last week, but that was the least skilled team in that league so we need to bring our game tomorrow...

hope you are finding some fun too :)
