Playing like a Team

I am soooo proud of the softball team I am on. We went out today, granted it was a beautiful day, and played a double header in softball. As of today's game, we were 7th out of 8 teams. I wonder where we are going to end up now??

The first game we played today started out rough. Even though I set a deadline of 130, we had two guys show up at 240, thank goodness we had an extra person and the game before us was running long, so that extra 10 minutes was a blessing!

We get on the field and we are, for the first time this season, having fun as a team. We are playing around, at the same time, we are actually doing really well with the game. We did end up losing to the team who is ranked below us, but it was just the beginning!

Next, we go over to another field and play a make up game. This time we are playing the Red Devils, who are tied for second place in the division. We know going into the field that we are the underdogs and I honestly didn't expect to win. As we start playing, we pull ahead in the first inning and we never looked back.

As we are playing, we are playing like a team and we are completely demoralizing the other team. We are out having fun and we are loving the day and the game. Well, we made some GREAT plays, and I finally learned how to be an outfielder and I myself had some GREAT catches. We batted great! We played great! We had fun and we played as a team! I was very very happy with my team today.

So, we won and this was the odds we were up against:

1. One player was half-lit.
2. One player had a pulled calf muscle.
3. One player was playing with a pulled back.
4. One player was playing with a swollen left knee and bleeding right leg.
5. One player was playing with a pulled muscle in his side.

So... this is the day! Let's see how the playoffs go now!
