BBQ with the bois

Today was Mother’s Day. I also had two softball games. I got ready for the softball games and went to the Eagle’s to meet mom and Bill down there. I got my omelet made up. I scarffed it down. Just as everyone else was getting down there I was on my way out the door.

I went to the field and warmed up with everyone. We had two games. Our first game I was one of the extra hitters. I did okay. One of my hits went for a triple. We won that game pretty easily. It was a team that beat us before I got on the team. They had won by one run. This time we crushed them.

Then the second game I pitched. My arm felt weak. It felt like I had been doing a large number of arm curls. I would bounce nearly every ball I pitched on the plate. Finally I looked at the coach, John, and use to of my fingers to tap on my left forearm -- signaling that it was time for a relief pitcher. He pulled me out and things started to get better. They other team had gone ahead on us. We were down to the wire. We needed to score runs. We got a little rally going. I had one sharp basehit and one pop-up. My next at-bat there were two outs and two men on. I wanted to put it down the right field line. I looked down there and someone was playing sort of close to it, but I thought that I could burn her.

I was waiting for the outside pitch. The second ball came up and it was outside. I swung at it and it arched toward the right field line and kept flying closer and closer to the foul line, finally coming to rest in fair territory. I only planned on running to second base no matter what. But my ankle was feeling okay, so I rounded second and make my way to third. I picked up the third base coach. He was waving me home, so I went running. My leg got a little wobbly and weak. I was about to have an inside the park homerun. The pitcher came to the plate to cover he was yelling for the ball. I look over and see the second baseman was just getting a hold of the ball. The second baseman turned to throw it home as I was crossing home. It felt so good. The whole team came out to congratulate me. We ended up winning and now our record is five and oh with me on the team. We are nine and two over all.

After the game I went home and took a shower before heading to Bell Town for a team BBQ. I got to Kyle’s apartment. We ate some hamburgers and hung out in the sun talking about stuff. I was there for about two hours then headed home where my mom was going to have pizza.

I got there ate pizza and watched the Simpson’s, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, and QaF before going to bed.
