102 Degree Softball

[BenNX74205]

Final report:

I was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI and 3 for 3 in catching the liners and popups hit to me in left field. We lost 15-8, which is not bad considering we had to have two girls play because we only had 8 dudes show up. I drank 3 beers and thought about dying, but didn't.

Yes, we're a sad team.

My team is one of those defy pythagorean theorem crazy in that we have lost 4 games by 1 run out of our 10 games so far. We're currently 2-8, when we could EASILY be 6-6. Did I mention that all four of those losses by 1 run were games where our team gave up walk-off game winning hits? It's so frustrating.

100 degrees is pretty rough, but just drink water and know that the other team is dealing with it too. I had two games last night and it was in the mid-80s so it was about perfect softball weather. Our SS got hurt last week so they slid me over from second, and I had two great games in the field. Turned a double play, caught a few rocket liners, and ran back and made an over the shoulder catch that drew compliments from the other team.

My favorite play was on a grounder with runners on 1st and 2nd. I put myself perfectly in this position. Ground ball hit towards be and I'm coming in on it, and I time it so I get to the ball about a second before the runner would be passing through that spot--I didn't camp out, I just paced it nicely. He had to stop and I easily had him at 3rd.

All of that made up for my 2 for 7 (couple FCs) with no RBI and no runs scored.

Sorry to hijack your thread and make it into a general softball thread, but there you go.

Also, don't even THINK about switching to golf!

My team is defunct, nobody wanted to pay. It is only 112 in PHX right now, that would have been fun to play in last night.

That's weak. It's just dry heat out there anyways.
