St. Maries Softball

I got up at five in the morning and got ready for softball and then headed out. I got some pop and filled my truck. Our first game was at eight in the morning. I was still tender in the back area. I got to St. Maries after about an hour and fifteen minutes of driving. I was going fast.

We went to the field and I got a couple beers and then we played ball. I was not able to hit anything. I went oh-fer in the first game, but I did get on base once. We lost the first game which meant our next game was going to be at three-thirty in the afternoon. I was not looking forward to the long delay. I had some more beer and watched the women play a game. I also saw the coach of the Palouse Thunder there. He lives in the area and planned on seeing some of the guys on the team who were planning on playing in some of the games.

We had a guy on our team who we called K-Fed for Kevin Federline (Britney’s Husband). He was a ten-six-seven and a good player. He also happened to play for the Thunder for part of this last season.

I went back to camp and hung out for a while trying to relax my back. I made my trip to Serva Burger. It is like Cougar Country. They have some good food there. It was about an hour and a half before game time. I got some food and went back to the field.

We had our next game and I was hurting a little bit. I was playing catcher. We had some close plays at home and I got some action. We ended up losing that game as well. I went oh-fer in that game as well. I decided that I would try to make it back to be on call. I wanted to be on Rescue because it was the opening weekend before school and many times it is busy as heck there.

It turned out to be dead more or less. But I made good time to Pullman. I was able to drive from St. Maries to Pullman, shower, get my pop, and get to the station in about an hour and fifty minutes.

I went to the station and we got some calls. I was on rescue the whole night, but we only got four calls. Not what I was hoping for. But they came pretty close to a bunch. So five of us stayed at the station for most of the night. Keith and Tyson were in the bedroom with me and Chapman, Reed, and Brian stayed on the furniture in the dayroom. We did not get any additional calls. I got up around three in the morning and went to my apartment and slept for the rest of the night.
