Well, the intramural softball season is officially over for me. Last night was the first game of the tournament, and we lost 13-7, but the interesting thing is that the other team scored 11 of their 13 runs in the first inning, and if that hadn't happened I think we would have easily won the game. The first inning was our only bad inning, and after that we pretty much shut them down for the rest of the game.
I played catcher this time around, which was a little rough on my legs by the time we were done. I'm not used to doing so much squatting and then standing up over and over. My thighs are pretty sore today, but not as sore as they were last night, that's for sure. I had the chance to make a couple of plays after the batter popped the ball up for an easy out, which made me feel good, and I got on base a couple of times to help the team.
Overall, the six games we played were a lot of fun, and I had a good time. I think I'll do it again next time that softball comes around as it seems to be a sport I can play without messing myself up too badly. It would have been nice to win that game yesterday and advance for one more, but it was a blast while it lasted.
