This past Sunday we had our first softball game of the season. We are missing a handful of players from last year and have had to take on some new positions to fill the gaps. Sheena (who is the model of the team) is our new catcher! She is a skinny little thing, but she is doing great! I love to get her to do her model walk (which I am trying to master during outfield practices) or pose for photos. It was her first game at catcher, but you could not even tell. She did a wonderful job.
Kathy played first base for a change. She is usually in the outfield with me, but for practice she took on a new position until the 6th inning where she had a minor collision with a base runner. Up until that point she was catching balls and taking names. We are all thankful she did not get very hurt very and was able to finish the game in right field.
The rest of the team shuffled around and played their best. I was in left field for most of the game and then was moved to center field. We played really well and were winning 7-2 for the first three innings. Everyone was amazed to be beating a team that plays a league higher. We also enjoyed their stunned silence as we scored 6 runs the first inning. After the third inning they put in their veteran pitcher and she kind of stunned us into silence. Unfortunately we ended up losing, but we didn't care by the end of the game. It was very encouraging for our team to see that we can play good when we concentrate. I will let you know how our regular season games go in the future. Here are a couple more pictures from the day.
