We Finally Beat Them!

Today was more or less a slow day. A day to relax. A day to rest. I got up around ten in the morning and went to the office. I was invited to go to Ron and Heather’s house to watch football. When I got to the office I realized my picks for FFL had not been submitted. So I posted a message about that.

I went to Quiznos for a sub and then to Ron and Htr’s. Ron spent a lot of time making fun of me over that. We watched the Seahawks win and I also played some Madden football with Jonathan. Htr cooked dinner for a couple people and invited me to stay. So I had some ham and mashed potatoes. It was good food.

Ron also was spending time telling me how his softball team was going to crush mine. I took it all in stride. Last IM season we went to the championship game against them. We ended up losing it.

As it was nearing seven o’clock I went to my apartment to get ready for the games. I made my line up for game one. I have five power hitters in the line up now. I am pretty excited about that. I got to the field after I got my uniform from my apartment.

Some people we getting there just in the nick of time. Bryce was running real late, but he had called and told me that. He actually showed up just as we needed to go on defense. Our first games was against Ron’s team. It use to be called Don’t Care. Now that are called a Bunch of Old Guys. We stayed with them pretty good through one inning, then they built a ten run lead by the fifth inning. It was do or die time for us. We went out there and scored five runs to stay in it. Then we shut them out in their half of the inning. We were now down by five. We scored six runs in the sixth inning, which is the final inning in IM’s. We were up by one run with some of their big hitters coming up. We went up there and got them out one-two-three. We won the game and made them suffer their first defeat since their team started.

After the game the guy from Kelly’s team who reminds me of Brandon shook my hand and congratulated us on the win. Other people had also congratulated us.

Then we go to a second game against a team we should have crushed, but instead we let them lead us the whole game, finally coming back and winning in the bottom of the final inning. We just could not hit like in the previous game. I could not hit at all. I was oh-fer on the day. Ryan said, during one at bat “prove you’re not solar powered.” I laughed, because in the summer time I do really well, and in IM’s I suck with hitting.

After the game a lot of us went to Cougar Country for some dinner and dessert. It was a great night.
