the_rckIt was really quite cold at last night's softball game. By the time the game ended, our car's thermometer said it was 60F outside, and it was windy. I wore long pants and a windbreaker. I should have worn my heavier jacket. Scott was in short sleeves and sandals (but long pants), so he got very, very cold. His mother actually hauled a blanket out of their car so that Scott could warm up a little.
Scott's parents came to the game. They arrived a bit late, but they came before Cordelia's first at bat. They left as soon as the game was over. Cordelia barely had time to come over and say hello and goodbye.
Cordelia's team lost the game. They played a strong first half, but the other team played strongly the second half. The other team had one pitcher who was amazing-- She pitched fast, hard and accurately. She walked one and struck out six. She's the best pitcher we've seen all season. Fortunately, no girl ever pitches more than two innings.
Cordelia now says that she wants to pitch. At the start of the season, she said she never wanted to pitch. I think it's unlikely to happen. There's only one game left, and I don't think she's ever practiced pitching. I would love to see her get a chance to try, though. I suppose it can't hurt to ask.
