Week two for ECSA Softball

April 24th, 2005

What a day for softball! I got up this morning and I was tired, but I pushed forth. I got in my truck and whisked myself away to Renton. When I got home I got ready for softball and headed to Sea-Tac. I had three games today and I wanted to have some fun. The sun was shining and I would be able to use my Synergy II.

I hit the road and cruised home. I was a little on the tired side. When I got home I changed into my softball uniform and headed to SeaTac. I was early so I hung out and watched some of the other games. Then the rest of the team started to arrive and we did some work outs as a team. The coach wanted us all to do stuff together today.

After warming up we had our first game. I was hitting the ball really well today. I only made one out today and that was in the third game. In the first game I crushed one. It felt so smooth going off the bat. It was an inside the park homerun. We won that game. I played on firstbase and then I pitched two innings. The second game we were worried about the team manager challenging me so I toned down the hitting and got a lot of singles in that game. We again won it.

We had an hour break. So I took the time to lay down and rest. One of the guys on the team brought some chicken for everyone. I had a couple pieces and then we went to get ready for our last game. In my first at bat I had another inside the park homerun. It was all the way to the fence, after the bounce and roll, on a three-hundred-and-fifteen foot fence. It was this game where I made an error at first base that allowed the inning to extend longer. The other team was winning going into the last inning. We were at the bottom of the batting order.

The guys started to hit and we strung a lot of hits together. We had two outs and I was on-deck. I was hoping for one more hit. But instead the guy who was hitting third got a great hit and two people scored. That was the game winning hit. So I did not get my last at bat. It seems like I have been on-deck for either the last out of the game or the game winning hit. We are now five and one on the season and are tied for first place in the league.

After the games I went home and had dinner. Then I hung out the rest of the night. I was tired so I was sleeping by midnight.
