One Day Softball Tournament

May 6th, 2006

The Maulers participated in a one day softball tournament. We started at nine o’clock in the morning. But we had to be at the field earlier than that for signing in and warm ups. I got there around seven-forty-five like our manager requested.

We played the first two games. I played first base in one game. I also had a triple in the first game. We won that one. In game two I was pitching. I also had a triple. After the game was over a pitcher from another C-league team wanted to see me. We won that game as well. I went to him and he said I was selected at the MVP for the game. That was a pretty cool honor. I earned a T-shirt that says I am an MVP.

We had a five hour break between those games and the last game of the day. Several guys on the team hung out at the fields to watch a game with a team that we will play tomorrow. Following that we went to Red Robin. It smelled really bad in the place. It smelled like the sewer pipes were backing up. It was sort of raunchy.

I did not have anything to eat because I left my wallet in my truck, but I also had a hotdog at the field. So I just hung out. The guys were talking sports. I was pretty surprised their in-depth knowledge on basketball and baseball. After a while Jamie and I switched to talking to computers. It sounds like maybe he is a fit for working for my company. I talked to him about it for a little while. He is going to look into it.

Following our time there we went back to the field and had more time to kill. We mainly sat around. But closer to game time we picked up the bats and started to swing them a little bit. We also worked on getting our arms loose. I ended up playing Extra Hitter in the final game. I again hit a triple. So I have three triples on the day. Pretty good day over all.

After softball I came home. I helped Bill unload some heavy stuff from his truck. We had dinner. I went to my room to watch Cops. I was so tired I did not go back down stairs. I just fell asleep in bed watching TV.
