Back to Back Wins

In softball today we had games against My Office and Trinity Baptist. My Office is an A-league that which is unbeaten. They lead the league. We were going to have to beat them in order to remain near the top. Having an extra quarter loss due to the FFT we had last week we have to make sure My Office and Zeppoz each get two losses. Zeppoz has one, and we play them once more. My Office has none, but we play them twice. So as long as we win out, we will be in first place in the league.

I started pitching against My Office and I was having a hard time with ball control. I walked several people and with errors we were in a six run hole after the first inning. I had Jake finish that inning of pitching and go from there. We started to hit the ball around a little bit and kept scoring runs. Finally near the end of the game we took a lead. By the last inning our lead was five runs. My Office had the last ups. They started to chip away and had scored four runs. With the tying run on second base. With only one out. We finally got some stuff going and made the outs. Their tying run was stranded and we won the game.

Now we had to play Trinity Baptist. They are a B-league team that is struggling. We had nearly a thirty minute break between games because of the game before ours starting late and going to seven inning.

When we got on the field we pretty much dominated them after the first inning with a couple silly plays where we ran into each other and what not. I had two triples in the game — they only had three outfielders.

It was pretty easy for us to win the game and more or less played around the whole time once we got a handle on playing well and hitting well. With the second victory we are now in control of our own destiny. If we win out we win the league.
