Second Place!.... in the B pool
My baseball team (Grampa's Attic) had its final tourney last weekend. We ended up in 7th place which meant we were first in the B pool. The weekend weather was pretty crappy on Friday night and we had a double header on the muddy diamonds. True to form, I managed to do a face plant at second base during the second game so I was mud from head to toe basically. However, we won both the games and Saturday was much brighter. The sun was shining and I think most of us ended up with sun burns by the end of the day. We made it rhough the round robin play winning 2 of the 3 games. We won the semi-final game in extra innings and headed into the finals at 1:30pm. THe game was very close and ended up in an extra inning again. We did not come out on top but the team who won was a great team to play against and if we had to lose, I'm glad it was to them. I wrote the girls a little poem to re-cap the weekend which you can read below.
Final Tourney Results
After five games of ball
In mud, rain, cloud and sun
We took second place
But it felt like we won
The efforts we put out
Were truly first class
When I look back on the weekend
It was really a blast
Julie's pitching was strong
Amy caught impossible ones
Carla smacked the ball hard
We all got lots of sun!
Sara sped 'round the bases
Lindsay's coaching was great
Gorza made huge throws for outs
First right field catch for Kate
Ninny stopped balls in left field
Brianne snagged them in right
Shan played well all-round
Tracy's hits were out-of-sight
Tricia was solid at short
Nat's running impressed
Becky let nothing get passed her
We all did play our best
At the legion four door prizes
Were won by our team
And Becky and Amy
Were voted this season's MVPs
At Tricia's we gathered
For gab, booze and games
It wasn't too long
Before I had no shame
What more can I say
Except thank you a lot
You're a really great group
(So please save me my spot!)
Get ready for November
We'll gather together again
For a team night in Tford
I'll let you know when.
