Tonight was one of the rare times where I get to go and play co-ed softball. I play men's league, and church league, and when a pitcher is needed, I go and pitch for a co-ed team. Well, I got to the diamonds tonight with a feeling of a couple of games that could be some good games. We got up to bat in the first game, so we are in the top of the first inning. Our leadoff batter gets up and grounds out. Our second batter follows suit with a ground out. I was second to last in the lineup, and thought I would have to wait to bat until later, and that maybe this team that we were playing isn't as bad as they looked in warmups. Well, our third batter homered, and that opened the flood gates. I not only got to hit in the top of the first with runners on, I got to hit twice in the top of the first inning. We went though the entire lineup twice. When I took the mound for the bottom of the first, I had it in the bag already. I had a fairly solid 20-0 lead.
After 3 innings and giving them a run or two, we won by 15 run rule. My night on the mound also ended there because some one else in the game wanted to pitch, and this was a perfect opportunity. So, I ended up having to go play in the field! I played second, and it was ok, but I had been looking forward to pitching. Well, we ended up having to play 4 innings, but eventually came out with the win via the 15 run rule again. The runs were big that night.
