Softball

Yesterday I took a chance and did something new. Phil asked me a couple weeks ago if I wanted to be on his softball team. I was kind of iffy about it, especially since my mom's number two enemy is on the team, but I looked past that and went ahead and did it, anyway.
I took Hannah and Hayley with me (and NOT because I didn't want to be alone...okay, well, maybe that was the reason...) and they sat in the score booth with Jenny. Phil handed me a glove and told me to warm up. Okay...So I warmed up and pretty soon the game started. He yelled out the positions to everyone as we took the field. When he said,"Michelle, right field!" I held out my arms-right...left...um...Then Albert pointed and told me which way was right. Oh. It made no sense when I got out there, because I was on the left side...Oh well.
I stood where I thought I was supposed to stand and yelled to someone,"Is this good?" Then Albert said he would tell me when to move. Basically, I just stood there the whole time.
I got to bat third in the second inning. The first pitch almost hit me. "Ball one!" I swung at the second pitch and hit the ball really high. It was caught before I even had a chance to run. Dang it! The catcher from the other team smiled and said,"Good hit." I tried...
The next inning, when we had two outs Rhonda was next on the line-up and Phil yelled,"Michelle, you're up."
"Huh? I thought..."
"You can hit," he said. Bet that made Rhonda feel good...
I hit a grounder on the first pitch. Didn't go very far. I started running and didn't even make it halfway before the ball beat me to first base. One of the Rachel's on my team said,"Good hit," and gave me high five.
Third time I did the same thing. "Good hit." I think everyone was glad that they had someone that could at least hit the ball.
I didn't score any runs, but at least I hit the ball everytime I was up to bat. We lost 5-11. I have to say that our team wasn't really that great. Yeah, okay, we sucked. Albert was the only one who was actually good.
I really had a lot of fun. I'll definitely be there next week. It's too bad the season is almost over, though.
