Sweet Season Ending

Yesterday was an absolute exhausting blast! Our coed softball team participated in our leagues season end tournament. We started out day with an 11:00 am game. The whole team came prepared with coolers full of water, gatorade, pop, luNchables, fruit, etc. We figured we would play at least two games since it was a double elimination tournament so we made sure to bring enough food for lunch.

Game 1 - 11:00 am - The game was pretty entertaining with two of our players taking nose dives in the dirt. This was not due to sliding to make it safely to base but was rather a case where their upper body was going way faster than their feet. Let's just say that a lot of us got down and dirty that first game. WIN

Game 2 - 1:00 pm - This game we figured would be a challenge considering we were playing the team that took home 3rd place from our regular season. That was not the case, they were tired and hung over from a party the night before and well they played horrible. WIN

Game 3 - 4:00 pm - Another good team! This team had some cocky players and some sore losers calling it a fluke WIN. We were hoping for the best and while this was one of our closest games we still made it out with another WIN.

Game 4 - 6:00 pm - What a great team we played! While this team did give us our first LOSS they were great sports. No cocky comments just great fun! They hit the ball in all the right spots. Found a hole no matter where it was and dropped a ball in there. We played this team again later in the night.

Game 5 - 7:44 pm - Remember game 3? They are back again! Was it a fluke win after all? NOOO. We beat them again. Cockiness was still present at this game and I was surprised to find out that at the end of this game one of their players refused to shake hands with our team. SORE LOSER! WIN

Game 6 - 9:00 pm - If you have followed along at all you may have figured out that we play the same team we played that gave us our first loss of the day. Look at game 4. Did we come out victorious this time? Yes, but we didn't win this game. We were victorious in the way we played all day long, no other team that day had to play 6 games, we were good sports, we cheered our team on, we helped each other out, and we congratulated the champions on their win. LOSS

Our team has a lot to be proud of! While our season record (3-10) doesn't show how good of a team we are I think we proved it with our SECOND PLACE spot in the tournament.
