Softball, softball and more softball!

Well, today I had two softball games. Well, I was supposed to have two softball games, it ended up being three. The first was at 9:00 so I had to be here at 8:00 to get warmed up. The night before I spent the night with the coaches daughter and we stayed up till after 11:00 watching Star Wars-Return of the Jedi. Its strange, while my friend and I were watching Star Wars our little brothers were at my house watching the Princess Bride. You would think it would be the other way around. Not that I have anything against Princess Bride, I think it is a great movie, its just funny the way we watched Star Wars and the boys watched the Princess Bride. The games today we were missing a player so I had to play catcher. It went great the first game and I caught well, probably better then I ever caught before. We won and what made our victory even sweeter was that last week we played the same team and they beat us 12 to 0. This week we beat them by, well... I don't remember the score but we beat them. The second game was good to but I had to catch again and about halfway through the game I was exhausted. We won that game to and the score was 10 to 8. Then, although we were supposed to be done we played a third game because the team that was supposed to play didn't show up. I had to catch again and I almost collapsed. Now, under normal circumstances I would have felt better but the third game started at 3:00 and I hadn't had lunch. The only thing I had was Gaiter-aid. Thankfully Dad went to Arbys and got me a roast beef sandwich that I ate in my spare moments during the game (along with an apple and a few bees who joined me). We didn't win the third game but the odds were against us. #1, we had already played 2 games. #2, it was hot. #3, the umpires wasted about 15 minutes at the beginning of the game because they were trying to get out of umping the game. #4, it was hot. #5, we had to bring in two subs because not everybody could stay. #6, it was hot. We should have won the third game. We could have except we ran out of time. I wonder whose fault that was. *cough cough* the umpires! Another thing that made me mad was that the umpire wasn't calling everything correct. Two people were called out who weren't out and he called strikes that were balls and balls that were strikes. I remember one incident where our pitcher threw a perfect screw-ball and he called it a ball! A ball! I was mad. Everybody there except the umpire thought it was a strike! I think he should've been overruled. Well, this post is already to long so I will close with a good remark (since the last bit has been negative), We played excellently today!
