Three and Out

First thing this morning I had to be at the Russell Road playfields for a softball tournament. The weather was cold, windy, and nasty. I stopped at McDonald’s for breakfast because I was running late on getting to the field. But I found upon my arrival that no one else was there. I put on my cleats and waited for the others to arrive.

It wasn’t long that I learned that I would not be able to use my metal spikes. I was upset about that, but I worked on changing them out to the plastic ones before the game started.

The first game was really bad. We didn’t hit well, and they hit really well. We lost by more than twenty-two runs when it was all said and done.

That gave us time to have a break. It was about an hour and a half before out next game. We went to the shelter to get out of the rain. But it wasn’t all that rainy at this time, it was really windy however.

The second game was closer and we ended up pulling it out. I wasn’t hitting the ball that well, but the others did hit the ball okay.

The third game was played right afterwards. We also didn’t do too well there. It was a tight game for a distance into the game, but the other team started to get a lead. What was making us made is they kept hitting at Jake, who was pitching. It was getting frustrating.

It was a double-elim tournament. And we were gone after that loss. Most of the team went to Pizza Hut for some late lunch/early dinner. I went back to Renton and got cleaned up. I didn’t go out because I wanted to get ready for my trip to Kelso tomorrow.
