Softball 2007: Game Two

I was a little disappointed to see that I would not be the starting pitcher for week two. In order to get playing time for everyone, most people only get to play 3 and 1/2 innings. (I had assumed that I was going to be pitching every inning this year, and was looking forward to the extra at bats, but I might have to share the mound.)

We were the home team, facing the defending champions from the last two years. We knew even with a good team we had our work cut out for us. By the time I entered the game, in the bottom of the fourth, we were losing 10-2.

Our opponent has won the league two year straight for a reason, but I was proud of our team. We played hard, and it got a little chippy out there. We had a good rally in the 7th and I think we made them sweat a little out there.

And over the last 3 innings (when I was in the game) we outscored them 4-2. So there's nothing to be upset about.

I'm scheduled to be in New York on business next Thursday, so hopefully it rains so I don't have to miss a game.

Team Record: 1-1
