about the game

We came dangerously close to winning tonight. we play seven inning games. top of the 6th, we were ahead 6-3. bottom of the 6th, the team from melrose UMC had scored 8 runs on us. at the top of the 7th we went three up, three down, and that was that.

Two REALLY COOL things happened, though. Tyler and Ricky showed up to play. Tyler has had a really REALLY rough last couple of months ... more. Ricky injured his knee last summer - playing softball, in fact, and had to undergo extensive surgery and rehab ... I let Tyler play right field, and I sat out as an extra batter, then let Ricky hit in my place. He got a base hit. And Tyler caught a pop fly to right field to throw a guy out.

The let down was palpable ... but we still had fun.

maybe next time. :-)
