Jul. 24th, 2014 10:20 amWe had a softball game last night. It was at Scheffler, fortunately, so there was shade. Next Monday's game won't have a scrap of shade, and Scott's parents are currently planning to come, so we'll let them use the shade umbrellas. Time to break out the sunscreen. After Monday's game, we'll have one game left. That's currently scheduled for Friday the 1st, but that date is squishy as it depends on both teams having enough players to make it work. That game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but the other team would only have five girls, so we couldn't play then.
Cordelia's team won the game. They had three innings during which they scored the maximum number of runs (seven). Cordelia batted last, so during those innings she would just get on base and then have the inning called. She did make it home in a later inning, getting from second to home on a long grounder that went right between the outfielders. (The coach has promised that, if anybody hits all the way to the trees, he'll buy the entire team ice cream. He's unlikely to have to buy.)
It got fairly chilly by the end of the game. I'd intended to change into long pants before we left, but I lost track of that, so I was cold by the time we started for home. I'd rather have the chill than the heat, of course. I hope it's that cool on Monday-- Scott's father is still recovering from his surgery, so mild weather is better for him.
