T.W.I.S.

This week in Softball was pretty cold. Way too cold for Sydney to attend her first game. Luckily on Wednesday Nana was here to babysit. The temperature was probably in the low 40's or so. We have doubleheaders for the mens team on Wednesdays and our first game was at 6. Most of our team showed up at 5:30 to warm up since it was so cold. It was a bad sign when none of the other teams players had shown up by 6. So we got the forfeit win and just hit around until our next game started. At 6:30, 5 players from the other team showed up and wondered why the game was forfeit. For some reason the ump didn't reverse his decision. Our second game we actually got to play. If you ask Chris it was his pitching that won the game. Even though he did walk their pitcher. We started off slow with the bats, but warmed up as we played. Nik played well at 3rd base but had 2 baserunning errors forgetting that you don't need to tag up on a ground ball. Our last inning I got a single that the left fielder misplayed, allowing 2 runs to score and advancing me to second. Then Joel stepped on the plate during his at bat for an out, but we had taken the lead with my hit and we won the game. Starting off with a 2-0 record.
In the Doctor League on Sunday the weather was even worse. May 1st it snowed lightly. The temp was in the 30's so Chris was gracious enough to babysit Sydney even though I offhandedly mentioned how lucky he was that he could buy Callie hats and she would be able to wear them the rest of her life due to her adult sized head. He mentioned something similar about Sydney and how chubby she is but then he realized that she would be bigger than him when she is 8 years old and would probably be able to beat him up. Anyway, I had trouble getting rsvp's for the game and as it turned out only 7 people showed up to play. So we lost the forfeit. Thankfully the other team had about 27 people there and even after most of their team left they could still field a team and we played a few innings. I think this team will be much better than last year. In one of our innings with 7 people batting we scored 10 runs. I'm looking forward to this much more than last year. Have a good week everybody.
