Second Baser

I just had the most fun I've had at any kickball game in two seasons. I got to be the pitcher and I caught two balls and got those people out. I also threw a ball home and hit the runner. It would have been a fair hit to her shoulder (which was higher than I intended- I'm kind of impressed with myself), but it bounced and hit her in the head which made her automatically safe. I didn't think I could throw like that.

I also got on base a few times. Once I kicked just inside third. Another time, I saw no good holes, so I bunted for the first time and made it to first! I got a run for our team and that doesn't happen a lot.

We lost, but without the mercy rule this time! Amanda said we were at something like 13-23, and 13 is more than we've scored in any game! So this was a longer game than we're used to playing. We were almost good enough to beat this team. I did not want to play tonight. I'm tired and whiny, but I had a lot of fun tonight. I need to get better at covering plays, but I picked up a lot tonight. You learn a lot faster in the infield. There's my quotable piece for the day. I'm glad I do shit when I really don't feel like it, because right now I feel amazing.
