Play Ball…
If you missed the first game played by the newly formed Christ Church Men’s softball team, well shame on you.
Chelsea, Amanda, Magnus, and I arrived at Ghormley Park just in time to catch the second inning. The score was representative of a football game (2-12). It must have been an exciting first inning for the guys from the Plantation Bar.
Keep in mind, you’re getting a *female* view of this game. So don’t expect stats or a play-by-play. The Christ Church guys wore royal blue jerseys with two “C’s” embroidered over the pocket. They obviously gave no thought to coordinating clothing below the jerseys, which resulted in a variation of colors and lengths of pants. Their opponents; however, all had coordinating beer bellies.
The other team was slower off the base but had nothing lacking in their swings. A highlight of the game occurred when someone hit a ball in the air, it was caught, and the guy on first tagged up and sprinted to second base. The big guy playing second base was convinced no human could run that fast, so he loudly claimed the runner left the bag early. Nathan Wilson, in his heckling voice yelled, “He’s safe, he just runs faster than you.” Oh yeah! Bring it on.
We left before the game was over, but I learned the final score was 27-12 in favor of the Plantation Bar. Nevertheless, the Christ Church team looks good. Perhaps some batting practice and a pitching change is all they need. Oh, and matching pants.
