Game Results

The storms are past and the heat and steam built up this afternoon.  Still we headed out to the softball game and  other than one large puddle next to third base in foul territory, the field was in good condition.  The game was very close and fun. Here are some of the highlights:
  • One of our players had her first big hit down the 3rd baseline!  
  • Matthew and our Shortstop turned two of three double plays!
  • Sarah had  a great hit and played hard and pitched well. 
  • Her friend, Bev had a great clinch catch in the outfield!
  • Yours truly got on base three times! Walk and two hits! That's a record..
  • Jeff had some good hits, even switched hit tonight. Unfortunately, he turned his ankle sliding into second base.  Good thing our Athletic Trainer was there. She had his ankle all wrapped in ice and cleaned up the scrape.  He is icing it and will see how it looks and feels in the morning.
The score was like a seasaw. We had it all tied up after our last at bats.  Unfortuantely for us, the home team scored in the bottom of the seventh and we had to take the loss.  Still it was fun and good fellowship was had by all. That is what we are there for.

Enjoyed ice cream of course, then dinner at McDonalds. Came home and I think a whole family of skunks must have passed throught the yard tonight.  PU!  It was pretty awful.  Luckily we didn't meat up with them at all.

For now we are watching an old movie and relaxing.  I am going to meet Sarah at the orthopedic office tomorrow morning to have a specialist check out why she has so much pain in her joints, and hopefully  a way to help her heal and gain strength.  Mary and Brandon come home tomorrow and I have a few meetings to go to in the evening. Will keep you updated on cars, ankles, doctor appts and travels.

Good Night!
