That does it for softball

November 23rd, 2005

And talk about going out with a bang! Tonight was the final night of softball as we played in the playoffs. We started out with Game One at 6:30, and we took on Vesperados.

Despite our baserunners getting into a triple play in one of the evenings — which is not easy to do, nor is it… good :? — we managed to short-game the team in five innings. I batted 2-3 with an inside-the-park home run and a single.

Beating them meant we would play in the championship against the winner of the 7:30 game. We stayed around to watch that game, and we tried to stay warm in the 40-degree weather.

The Bellevillains won the game, which meant we would face them immediately thereafter. We trotted on to the field, and the championship game began.

In the first few innings, the score was fairly tight. We’d score a couple of runs, and the Bellevillains would answer back. In the fourth and fifth innings, however, we pulled away, and John ended the game in the fifth with a game-winning single to left field, as we won that game 13-3, making us champs!

I batted 2-3 in this game as well, but one of my hits was a three-run home run over the right-center field fence. That happened to be my last at-bat of the game, and thus the year, so it’s a great note to end on. And, quite honestly, I was surprised by how far the ball went over the fence. So that’s encouraging. :)

And… here we are, with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Softball is over and done with until April. Thankfully, volleyball should be starting up again soon so I shouldn’t gather too much dust this winter.
