From hot streak to cold streak

After the two teams we were supposed to play last Thursday didn’t show up, I was ready to play tonight against Harp & Hound, a team that is basically tied with us for fourth place. We started off the game letting up six runs, but managed to get them right back in the bottom of [...]

The streak comes to an end

Unfortunately, my in-the-park home run streak of two games came to an end last night, during a double-header against the best team in the league. Due to scheduling issues, we ended up having to play the number one team in the league in back to back games and while they were close in the beginning, [...]

The hot streak continues!

As I said previously, I don’t really like to brag, but my luck has been amazing these past two softball games. Tonight I hit another in-the-park home run and had about five or six runs/RBI’s and also made the best defensive play of my life, diving for a ball up the middle and rolling to [...]

Best softball game of my career

Not that I want to brag too much, but let me just start by saying that tonight I hit an in-the-park grand slam to win our softball game. It was by far the best game of my softball career, as I went 3 for 4 with a single, double and the previously mentioned home run. [...]

Finally played a softball game…but lost

We had our first softball game in three weeks or so due to all the rain and everything seemed to be going our way until the seventh inning. We were tied 7-7 and were the home team, so if we could have held them close, we were in a good position to pull off the [...]

Will we every play softball again?

Apparently the softball Gods are not happy with our league or something, as our team hasn’t played in a few weeks now (as far as I can remember!) We were supposed to play last night, but the rain all day put an end to that one. Today the weather was beautiful, so we thought we [...]

A win the easy (but lame) way

Last night we were supposed to play the team that beat us earlier this season 19-16, and it was actually the weather that I would have expected would have kept us from playing. However, it turns out the heavy mist wasn’t going to prevent us from playing, but the fact that only four of the [...]

Adding injury to insult

Last night we played our second game against the top team in our softball league, the same team that “threw” a no-hitter against us in a five inning mercy earlier in the season. I went into the game with pretty low expectations, hoping to get at least one hit and for the team to score [...]

A Tale of Two Different Leagues

So after our loss on Tuesday night to one of the top teams in the league, we got a nice change of pace last night when we played Steakloft, possibly the worst team in the league. After suffering through a minor mishap before the game started (a ball was thrown at me when I wasn’t [...]

Another one in the loss column

After playing zero games last week, tonight was the first of three games this week for our softball team (whoever made the schedule was a genius?) We played High Tech Profiles, a team that has traditionally been one of the best in the league, but because they were playing the second game of a double-header [...]
