MBC Men’s Softball – Game #3

Final score:

MBC – 9
Other team – 12

We played at 7:30pm, for the first time on a dry field.

I played left field defensively. Fairly quiet. A few line drives, and a couple pop-ups. This was the first game I had to play looking into the sun. For the first few innings I could barely see the ball until it was hit. Made things kinda interesting.

Offensively, I kinda sucked it up. My first at bat I hit it off the top of my bat and it was an easy little pop-up for the catcher. My second time, I dropped an easy grounder and got out at first. My third and final at bat was in the last inning. I hit a line drive and the shortstop missed it. I was able to snag a double out of it. Then, the next batter hit a grounder to the second baseman. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but I think he threw to first baseman. I think he ended up dropping it or something and so I took off to third. I slid and made it in safe, but the third baseman missed the throw and so I took off running for home and scored safely.

Sadly, our team as a whole played poorly offensively, which led to our lost. Nonetheless, it’s still fun to be around a great group of guys who at least have a good attitude and are always encouraging.

My stats: 1-3 (1 double, 1 run).

Next game: Thursday (9/17) at 8:30 at field #6.
