Those Sons of Pitches!

We had the last game of our softball season last night, against Team Red, also known as the Diablos. Along with their devilish name, they came with an impressive record, several very large men, and one tiny, but incredible, shortstop who clearly has some experience playing collegiate softball. The odds were against us, but once again the Sons of Pitches pulled it together. I don't think I blogged this yet, but the S.O.P.'s had their first win last week against Team Gold.

Did we win last night? Well, no. But it wasn't a total blowout. I think the final score was 13-7. The game was played quickly, through a bit of rain, and in the presence of some very unnerving lightening, and also possibly because nobody brought beer.

The official from the league complimented us at the end. At least I think it was a compliment. Team Red is very good, she said, your team has really improved this season. (She had witnessed some of our more staggering defeats.)

Nobody lingered at the field after the game, and we didn't go out after. The storm was hovering just on the other side of the river, and everybody raced to their cars and went their separate ways. However, I think M did a good thing in organizing our team this season. Everybody learned a lot and seemed to have a good time. PSL has a ton of sports leagues that go on pretty much all year, so maybe somebody else will organize another team.
