Well it wasn't nearly the goliath game that last week's was, but once again Blue (aka the Lions) pulled off a championship win in the bottom of the seventh. We had to fight against some of the strangest umping I've been privy too (eg - after Tammy and Bun ended up in eachother's arms following an infield fly he yelled at them to stop having sex on the field - he called me out after a close slide at third base, even though it quickly became obvious that the third basement dropped the ball [he reached down to pick up the ball with his bare hand] - he kept joking around about fair and foul balls; at one point our coach parked one over the fence, foul and the ump, thinking he was funny, called it fair), some rust on a few players after some downtime and the falling temperature. But we did it. Joel Bootsma hit in the winning run and it was glorious; a magnificent way to cap off my return to softball!
(l-r) Back Row: Tim, Gary, Trish
Middle: Dan, Bun, Jon, Daryl, Caren, Joel
Front: Tammy, Mitchel, Laura
Absent: Rich (stupid night class, grumble, second masters...)
We got 2 medals! One for winning the season and one for winning the championship!
I won the "Reach Forth Slopitch Sportsmanship & Deadication Award 2006"
