I had a softball game today and it turned out to be quite exciting. First, I should tell you that I play for a team that is comprised mostly of biochemistry grad students. That's right geeks playing ball. Our current team name is Short Bus. Not a big fan of the name, but what can you do? Anyway, about the game, we came out hitting like crazy and were ahead 6-3 at the end of the first inning. My first at bat resulted in an in the park on errors home run! So going into the bottom of the last inning before time expired, we were ahead 14-11. They scored 3 runs, so it was tied. We only had one out and there was a runner on third and a girl was up to bat. She hit a short one to the pitcher, he checked the runner and threw to me at first for an out. The runner on third took off so I threw it to Rockann at home in plenty of time for her to tag him for the out. Double play! Going into an extra inning. We scored 4 in the last inning and held them to only 2 more runs so we won 18-16! Very exciting! Nicole came to the game with me even though it ended a little past her bedtime. She was so cute and really cheered us on.
