We Are The Champions Again!


Tonight Daryll and I played in the softball championships for his Mr. Copy team and I'm happy to report that we did it again! In a complete 180 from last season the team only lost 1 game the entire season (the first game) and tied one as well. Tonight we had to win back to back games to clinch the title. The semi-final game started out rocky, with our offense unable to produce runs and our defense making errors that were unheard of the rest of the season. Going into the bottom of the 7th we were down by 3 runs. Finally our offense turned it on and we were able to tie up the game without wasting any outs and with runners on 1st and 3rd. When I came up to bat the umpire announced that the runner on 3rd was the winning run. After fouling off 2 balls, I hit a line drive to the 2nd baseman who dropped the ball. When they threw it to second to get the runner out our runner on 3rd took off for home...and was thrown out! Suddenly we only had a runner on 1st and 2 outs. Luckily Grayson came up to bat and hit a perfect shot to right field. I ran with all my might and crossed home just before the ball got there!

Our championship game was more fun and less pressure. The team had been undefeated the entire season with only 1 tie (to us). Our defense was right on target and our offense produced enough runs that we were up by 10 going into the bottom of the 7th. Well, the rest as they say is history! 2nd Vavi league and 2nd championship!
