I am playing with a group of guys I don&#8217;t know.  I was looking forward to just going out there and doing my thing.  I am going to let me play do the talking.  I started out hitting number eight.  But my hitting was doing very well.  I was hitting six of seven with a ROE in the first two games.  Before I knew it I was batting second.  I knew my hitting would speak for itself.<\/p>\n<p>We started one and one in the round robin play.  We were seeded in the lower-C bracket.  We went out and played well.  The first game we won pretty convincingly.  The second bracket game of the night, our fourth overall game was a lot different.<\/p>\n<p>We battled back and forth.  It was close.  I was hitting the ball well through the game.  Before I knew it we went into extra innings.  I was playing first base.  In one extra inning they had no outs with two guys on and the score was tied.  Our right fielder made an incredible shoe-string catch.  The runners had been going and we had a chance to double them up.  The throw to me was bad and it bounced on the ground past me.  But the catcher got it and went to second base for a double-play.  We got one more out and went into another extra inning.  We had a total of three extra innings.  In the final one we scored and we held them from scoring.  I had the final ball hit towards me.  I charged the high bouncing ball.  I caught it off my chest and ran it to first for the final out and the victory.<\/p>\n<p>We went to Red Robin for dinner.  We were out there for a while.  It was a great celebration.  Our victory was big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came down to San Diego to play in a softball tournament. I am playing with a group of guys I don&#8217;t know.
