I woke up early and had some breakfast. Then I got the extension cords picked up and put away. I started to get the other things around the motorhome ready to go. I went to the main camp for a while and hung out there.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went back to my motorhome and took a short nap. I got my uniform on and got the motorhome ready to head to the ballfields. That is when I was checking my oil. I found a belt was missing. Luckily there was an extra one in the motorhome. I got a tool and worked to put it on. But that was pinching my time that I had to get to the field. I still got there before a couple people from the camp.<\/p>\n<p>I got to the field and Brandon was already there. It was great to see him again. I don&#8217;t know if he really wants to move to Pullman for a job working for the fire department, but it would make my day if he did get one there.<\/p>\n<p>We lost the game due to seventeen walks given up as well as the the fact we stopped hitting the ball very well. Early in the game we scored a lot of runs. Then they had an inning that had around nine or ten walks. We said our goodbyes.<\/p>\n<p>Warren, his girlfriend, and I went to get fueled up. Then got some lunch as well and bought a belt to replace the one I used. Then we hit the road. I pushed it hard the whole way trying to get to Pullman as fast as I could so I could play in the coed game. I started myself at first base. <\/p>\n<p>We were doing okay during the game, but we were in a small hole with a couple run deficit. We were not able to climb out of it. We were playing Spellman&#8217;s team. Finally in the bottom of the seventh inning we got the first couple hitters on base with no out, but we had a women come to the plate. She didn&#8217;t hit the ball well, but always put it in play. I just knew there was a good chance for a double-play ball. That is what happened.<\/p>\n<p>With two out and down by one we had a good hitter coming to the plate, it was the top of the order and we have one person on. We were down by one. I thought we may have a chance. But she hit a hard ball for an out. We lost by one run.<\/p>\n<p>After the game several of us went to Cougar Country for dinner. We were there for around an hour talking before I went to Warrens. I dropped him and his girlfriend off but we didn&#8217;t unload their stuff to make sure I could get to the fields on time.<\/p>\n<p>We unloaded their stuff and I went home. I got and unloaded some of my stuff during commercials on Family Guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With our first game almost at noon there was a lot of time to sit around this morning.
