I still have it.....?

Since I started this blog to write about things that I have learned, I feel the need to write about a softball game I played in last night. I play with some members of the church from different wards in the area. We have played for about 3 years and we are really not very good. I was late for the game because I was coaching my kids soccer team and the practice did not end until the softball game began.

I hurried to the softball field and just as I ran up to the field it was my turn at bat. I did not do so well as I swung at the first pitch I saw and grounded into a fielder choice. I played well in the field at 3rd base and our team actually had a chance to win the game.

We went into the bottom of the last inning and I was leading off. We were down 6 to 7. I again went after the first pitch and hit a long fly ball that soared over the left center field fence. it was nice to have my wife and kids in the stands to see the home run and cheer for me. I had tied the game and we had no outs and the top of our line up coming up. Needless to say we did not score another run in that inning, gave one up in the top of the extra inning and then we did not score so we lost 7 to 8.

I guess what I learned is that I can still play a little.
