Softball Update

Another game last night, but this one didn't turn out nearly as well as our prior win.

Actually, the 26-15 score is really a bit deceptive. They scored three in the first, we countered with five. The second, we swapped, as they scored five and we scored three. They got one in the third, but we couldn't answer. The fourth is when it got ugly, as they scored 11. We got three more to make it interesting, but the fifth (and last inning), they got insurance and we couldn't get quite enough.

Fielding was the biggest issue. A number of dropped balls, bad throws, etc. But they were a good team and got plenty of clean hits, including the first one over the fence that I've personally witnessed playing softball. We had some trouble closing things down after 2 were out, as probably a good 10 runs in the game scored in those situations.

As for my personal batting, I got in to the game in the fourth. My first AB, I hit the ball solidly. If it were a baseball configuration, it would have been a single between the outfield and the infield. Being softball and having that 10th man, though, meant that I hit it right at the rover.

In the fifth, I actually was the last out of the game as I hit a weak roller to third, which was really easy for them since we had runners at first and second.

So that leaves me at .500 (2-4), with 2 runs, an RBI and a sac fly on the season. Looking forward to seeing how we play Monday!
