Sunday Softball Blogging

I played in my first doubleheader today. We lost the first game, 17-11. Not particularly eventful, but I went 4-4 with 4 runs scored. It was our first loss of the season so far.

The second game was the most intense softball game I've played in my two years. We were up by about eight runs going into the fifth inning (out of seven) and our pitcher began grooving pitches and the other team hit a couple of home runs. Suddenly, we're going into the bottom of the seventh and we're only up 13-11. They got two baserunners and then next batter hit a groundball back to the pitcher, and it should have been the third out. However, the first baseman dropped the ball, didn't get the out, and then picked it up and overthrew home plate. Two runs scored, and their best hitter came to the plate with the score tied and a man on. We intentionally walked him (much to the chagrin of the other team's captain) and managed to get the next guy out. We scored a run in the top of the eighth as the rain started to come down, and held them in the bottom of the inning for a 14-13 victory. And I finished 3-5 with 3 RBIs... don't get a lot of those, normally.

We're 3-1 now, a far cry from last season when we didn't win a single game. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.
