Well, our opponents forfeited, so its not a real win, but we weren't going to complain (not only would we get to practice on the field for an hour, but there's pizza and two pitchers of beer on the house -- apparently charged to the no-show team). But then another team was short on women so three of us got recruited to go and play for them (you have to have three women or you forfeit as well.) And on that team, we won 16-3! I hit a double, a sacrifice grounder (i.e. I got out before reaching first, but brought in a run) and a single where unfortunately I got the guy ahead of me tagged out. I got tagged out once running home (I'd like to think I can blame that on bad base coaching?) and left on third the other time. I missed one awful play at home (I was the catcher), but otherwise we had such great fielding that there weren't many plays at home to worry about.
So I feel like I had two wins tonight! I think it was my new lucky cleats (plus when I bought them this afternoon I found out that I get a discount at the local sporting good store from my job).
