man, it’s hot out. very, very hot out. sunny blue skies, without a cloud in the sky. so how did I spend the afternoon? I was out at a park, standing at the shortstop position playing softball with my church league.

let me describe our team. firstly, I wouldn’t use the term team to describe us. we’re more of a bunch of people who get together on sundays to attempt to play softball. to say we’re sad is being overly nice about it. we hold our own, and after today, I think we’re still in firm hold of 4th place (out of 8).

what happened today? we got off to a great start, scoring 6 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning to stake a quick 6-1 lead. through some ugly looking defense in the outfield, we found ourselves down 18-9 with our last at-bat. somehow, somehow through some patient hitting (along with a tired pitcher) we pulled it out and won the game 19-18. oh how sweet it is.

the only bad thing ’bout the whole game is that I felt bad for the opposing pitcher. she looked very disheartened, but I’m sure that will pass.
