Softball in December?

Due to our softball playoffs being rained out on four consecutive Mondays, we finally played them last night.

Our team, which finished third, won the first round game 12-11. We threw the potential tying run out at third base for the third out to secure the win. It was very exciting, considering that we had to play the first two innings with only 9 players since Wes had a brain freeze and forgot about the game until we called him...he arrived in the third inning, and it really helped out since you have to take an automatic out when that player's spot comes up in the order, not to mention that you have to play with 3 outfielder's instead of 4.

Then, in the championship game, we got smashed by this team of "B" league players. Our league is a combined class "C/D" league, but it's the only league the city of Lewisville has, so they let this other team sign up. They actually used up their allotment of home runs (each team gets 4 per game...our team hasn't hit 4 in 4 years, nor has any team we played against) in the first inning so we didn't have much of a chance. We hung in there for a couple of innings, but in the end, we couldn't match up with them. They actually got outs for the extra home runs they hit.

Anyway, we had a great time...but I'm incredibly sore today. I don't think I'm aging too well, which matters way more than whether or not we got the championship t-shirt.
