Big League Chew

So it is that time of the year again, softball season has started! This year I am only playing on team (Bottom of the Fifth) up in Richmond. And there have also been a few changes. For example we are no longer playing double headers, there are unlimited home runs (which worked out well for us last night), and and we moved down to a lower league instead of the really high league like last year.

So yesterday we played Big League Chew, and it was a great opening day for us. We won the game 11-9 I think, I don't have to the score book around here.

We had our usual crowd out there, but we were down one girl, so we had to take an auto out at the end of our lineup, but it didn't seem to hinder us too bad. Everyone hit real well last night with 4 home runs, 2 from Aaron, 1 from Richie and 1 from me. So hopefully we can keep that trend going.

Our defense was pretty good last night as well, just a few small errors and a couple bad hops down the third base line. The one that sticks out in my mind was the last inning, when our team captain Will came into left field, we were up 5 and just had to hold them to get the win. High fly ball out between left and center, both fielders running, Will almost has it and then slips in the grass and lays down in the outfield, they come in for a home run on that one.

I will be missing next week's game because I'll be on my honeymoon. But I'll be back in two weeks against PayerPath.

Oh yea, and check out our schedule.
