Back in the game

You probably can't see me very well, but that is me in the blue shirt out in right field. I played my first softball game in 8 years two weeks ago. Needless to say I was a little scared. I didn't know if I'd remember how to catch a ball, much less throw a ball. 

So yeah, I joined a co-ed softball team out here in California. And as much as I did it to have a fun time and meet people....my teammates mean business. I struck out my first two times at bat and blamed it on being used to fast pitch — which is so true. :-)

My third time at bat was with 2 outs and a person on first and second. Well at least this time I hit the ball. But the line drive to shortstop was caught and ... out three. I was just excited to hit the ball. My teammates were bummed that we didn't get the extra runs. 

So at the end of the day we lost the game, but I had a great time. Fawn subbed the game for a girl who couldn't make it. Mind you she informed me that she will no longer be playing, but will definitely come to the games to watch with Greg and Shawn. So I do have my own cheering section. Greg came to this game and took some pictures. 

Everyone on the team is really nice. We even have an older lady on the team. I'm looking forward to my second game this Sunday. I did text one of the team members to make sure they still wanted me on the team....

He said "yes" and will soon be sending the game time. I better get to the batting cages. :-)
