MBC Men’s Softball - Game #2
Final score:
MBC - 17
Other team - 7
We played at 9:30pm, after another rainy evening. It was in the 70s but muggy.
I got placed from last in the batting order to the #1 batting spot for this game. I also moved defensively from left field to center.
My first at bat was a walk. I wanted to swing, but the pitcher wasn’t giving me anything close. The 2nd batter walked, with the third hitting a grounder in the infield. I was running to third and slid as it was going to be a close play. I’m was able to watch the softball hit the ground before bouncing into the baseman’s glove, and my foot hit the bag before he got it, but the ump had a bad angle and called me out.
My second at bat resulted in a pathetic hit. The ball went off the bottom of my bat on the swing and was about as strong as a bunt. Thankfully, I was able to beat out the throw. I ended up getting around the bases and scoring a run.
My third time at the plate got me another hit. I cracked a line drive up through the middle and got a single. Again, I was able to score another run after another couple batters.
My final at bat was another walk, but scored a third run.
Defensively, it was a pretty slow night for me. There were a couple short line drives into center, but only one pop-up to me.
So I ended the night 2-4 (2 singles, 2 walks, 3 runs, and maybe 1-2 RBI’s).
Next game: Tuesday (9/15) at 7:30 at field #5.
