Hope you all had your Suds Buds water bottles with you because that game was a scorcher! Not just the heat, but the bats of the Buds as well. Some of the team must have been listening to Jason Derulo on the way to the game because Seb, Lawrie and Justyn seemed to be ridin solo with the home runs on this specific day.
From my spot in the outfield, the pitchin...

The superheros united to protect the universe. The challenge this time was a team of recreational softball players, who put up a pretty good fight but ultimately, the good guys won.

An Ottawa Softball Post-game Poem:
T’was the game before the kick off Bar-Be-Q, when all through the stands,
Not a fan was silent, as everyone clapped their hands.
The bats were all hung in the dugout with care,

The other team had trouble keeping the ball in their mitt.
