Softball

I never thought i would end up playing softball for the Laura Street Baptist Church. It all started with one of my frnd forcing me to join them play softball, and then, I had no clue how I ended up in their team.

Today was a great day for me. After loosing my first 2 matches in the league, today we made it finally. We won 21 - 9. My first two hits were really bad. Well, I actually hit them pretty good, tried to place the first hit over left outfield, but, ended up hitting the ball too high, allowing the fielder to comfortably have that in his glove. My second hit was over the center field, this time, i hit it straight into the glove. It was the 4th inning, and I was kicking myself for such a bad performance with the bat. Kenni was pitching for our team today. I was so fed up on the field, and started looking at my frnds playing volleyball on the court right next to the field. I saw the center fielder running towards me, I then realized that the ball was hit towards me, I started running towards the ball. The fielder made a drop catch, so I being the nearest fielder, had to pick the ball up. I heard someone shouting, 2nd base. I just threw the ball there, I then realised that it was an extra ordinary throw. The batsmen was runout, but my throw was soo fast, and accurate.

I just came back into the game. When it was our inning, I saw so many basehits and walk's. I had to face the ball finally in this inning. Just waited for the ball, made a 1st strike. Then, i spoke to myself, cooled down a bit, and then finally hit the ball over the center fielder to make a double. This was the second time I made a double, but the 1st time, I ended up running out at the home. Today, it was a great hit by the next batsmen, so I finally made it to the home.

This was almost like a great achievement for me. New game, new rules, new style of playing, I never thought I could be so good. More practice and good health shall make me a stronger player in this game.
