Softball Record

I just got a call last night from our coach for the church softball team. She asked if I would mind taking over as coach for the remainder of the season due to her schedule and trying to sell her home. Of course, I said YES! I love playing softball and I had secretly hoped that I could have some say in how things went. The other assistant coach and I had some ideas on how we ought to structure the lineup and we want to get these ideas implemented. Now we can. Here is our record so far:

Lost to Carlisle United Methodist 24-1.
Tied with Indianola Christian Union 8-8.
Lost to TRYM 15-1.
Lost to Lighthouse Community 20-6.

That makes us 0-3-1. We definitely were not up to par in the first game and they are a really good team. We probably would have gotten beat at our best. The tie was simply a matter of running out of time, but they were a team we could have beaten if we had a little offense. Todd threw 3 people out to me at home as they tried to score and he threw one to me to tag out at 3rd Base that game. Our defense did a really tight job most of that game, but we just weren't hitting. These two games were our first night out.

The last two teams we played we could have beat if our starters were there. We have 4 big guns that didn't play either game and they weren't really good teams. I think we could have beat them. TRYM did have a couple of really great players and would have given us a good game. I don't think the rest of the team was anywhere in their league.

I have a lineup ready to go and hope that since we should have all 4 big guns there tomorrow evening that we will finally have a couple of wins to chalk up. We shall see!
