Winning in the Eighth Inning

I have been pounding out bugs at work like crazy lately. It has been really nice to get things off my plate and completed. Chris asked if Jon would like to come back to Netupdate. I told him I did not know. That Jon would require a lot of money. After talking to Jon, I don’t think there is any way Netupdate can compete with what Jon wants.

We had our final regular season softball game today. Only ten guys showed up, but that was all we needed. It was looking bad early on. We could not get a rally going and ChipmanTaylor was scoring runs. They were up by eight when we finally decided to get something going. We scored more and more runs to finally tie it up in the bottom of the seventh inning with a two out homerun by Eric. I went to the plate having had three solid contacts that should have gone in for hits, but the outfielders made great catches to get me out. The ball just was not dropping for me today. That actually dropped me from one of the highest batting averages on the team to about sixth of seventh over all. But I was still hitting near six-hundred.

We went to the eighth inning against them and managed to get a guy on third and first with two outs. Ben hit the game winning single down the left field line. He was on fire today getting four hits in five at bats.

After the game we had jersey night. We started at My Office where we had a couple of pitchers of beer and food. Our next stop was ValHalla. We were there until closing time. We had some more beer and some rounds of shots. About four rounds total. It was a good night to hang out with the team.
