Friday night at the Ottawa Softball game, it was another beautiful sunny night that saw a lot of spares out playing.
Player of the Game: Rodney
Rodney had two of the more impressive outs as our softball Short Stop in Ottawa, but was also huge on team spirit and base coaching. Even when I was desperate for runs and doubted their second basemens capability of catching Eric’s fly ball (urghhh should not have swung) Rodney was calm and told everyone NO stay on your bags! Tons of talent , even more team spirit, this game def. goes our to our friendliest spare Rodney.
Play of the game: TBIL & I base coaching (he was in the hole) Jith and others on a CLEAR infield fly ball that the umpire decided should be a triple play for the other team. SOME HOW that shit worked out, Jith came home on it AND everyone advanced.. no one is entirely certain what happened that play, but it was shake your head, roll your eyes ridiculous so I am giving it play of the game.
Lessons Learned: It’s not over till it’s over. Take the walk if it matters. We will need to ask Dave to watch their batting order next game.
