Final Co-ed softball game

This morning I got up and got ready to head out of town. I had some softball games in Renton to get to. I went to Rosauers and got some lunch and then hit the road. The trip was pretty laid back. I spent most of the time listening to the Mariners pre-game show and game.

Because I was running late I went straight to the field. I figured a quicker route to take would be SR-eighteen to the Maple Valley highway. I got to the field about thirty minutes before game time. I got into my cleats and warmed up. I was told I was going to play third base. I was a little nervous about it, because I haven’t played there much and I did not have a cup on.

When the game started I took the field and went to third base. When I would get ready for the play I was thinking about how to field the ball so I would not get hit in the family jewels. As it turned out I only had one ball hit towards my area. I went running for it to my left. I got a mitt on it, but I could not field it cleanly.

The story of the game was us giving up outs. We gave them about six outs in each of the first two innings. They got a pretty good lead on us. At the same time we could not score any runs. Finally in one inning Josh hit a Texas leaguer just down the right field line. He has a stand up triple, but he went through the stop sign at third base and was thrown out at home by about ten feet. It was bad.

Finally in what would be the last inning we had to score one run to keep the game going. We had two outs and then some how loaded the bases. My first at bat I walked on five pitches. This was my second at bat. I watched the first two pitches come in. The third pitch I swung at. I got good contact and pushed it to right field, but I left it up a little too long and the right field had enough time to catch it. That was the game. I felt bad about making the last out, but the whole game we had chances and blew them.

I went home after the game and got on my computer. I set up the ESPN poker game on my laptop and played that a little bit. I also played with Amber. I missed her towards the end of the week. I watched some TV shows, including Rescue Me from last Tuesday that I missed.

I went to bed at about one o’clock am. I did play in two poker tournaments and won the first one. So I have nine more to go before this weekend.
