Following in the great Averill tradition of athletics ( ahh the irony) Eric and I have put together a softball team. We began Sunday and played more like a comedy routine then actual players. We still have high hopes for the season.
Our first game was against an aged team by the name of the Seem-to-Be Hitters. If you know my father and my family you can only guess that he may have something to do with it, and you would be right! Not only are we in the same league as my father's softball team but we played against him yesterday and were schooled by a bunch of Lawrence's finest hippies!
We may have lost ( by the mercy rule) but, I haven't had that much fun in a while. I'd love to post pictures but the home computer is still sick.
Highlights: I ACTUALLY HIT THE BALL! And got on base! Eric rocked the field and got a controversial out ( He was totally safe) Gaus only fell once, Jaq had a wicked catch straight from the bat to her glove, and Hilary made a beautiful out on second base. Overall we hit well and our offense is pretty good, we've got some defending to practice. Chops, was a rock star and Greg was Everywhere! We all had a blast and played for fun. Plus Jaq said that I played better then Willie which is all I could ever hope for.
I should give a shot out to the old man as well, Ric got several great hits and coached 1st base beautifully-- the conversations between him and the dugout, namely Eric, were quite entertaining. It was fun to play against him. Well played old man.
Anyway, There will be many more softball stories to come with pictures to boot.
How do you like Deez nutz!! ~Trish
