Softball: One of life's cruel reminders...

... that I am not 21 anymore. And the majority of the team is over 40 and play better than I do.

We did very well last night, winning 11-8 against Union Station. It was close the first three innings. I didn't play until the fourth. The good news is that I did pretty good in right field (where they place the medicore players, I've been there before) and I got a base hit to first (thank heavens for the batting cage practice). I got out at second. I could have slid into base, but I didn't want to wreck my nice legs (heh!).

Running at the gym yesterday morning + playing softball last night = OUCH this morning!

Next game is 8:50 PM on Monday against Knox Jocks.

I try to back up the first base man as often as I can, usually running in when the ball is hit to third or short. I was taught that long ago, but it's good to hear it works on occasion :)

Actually, my hitting needs work, leaning how to better direct the hit to where I want it to go. The twin is the jock in this family, not me.

Big, big thank you hug from one right fielder to another! You make me feel good :)

Want to know how I hit to right field (I'm a righty)? When you're up at the bag, move your right foot back about half a foot to a foot. This plants your body in the direction of swinging to the opposite field. Try it!

And you should be feeling good...otherwise, it's just not worth it! :)
