Gatorade. Mmmm. Gatorade...

Despite the great weather and early game time, our opponents did not show up for softball yesterday. Unfortunately, we did not find out until 2:00 p.m., when Tom spoke to the league administration -- they called "Got Skills?" and received word that their team was not showing up.

Pity.

But we did manage to salvage the afternoon by scrimmaging against an all men's team who were practicing nearby. The group, lead by "Travis," were all nice folks and it was a pleasure playing them for about an hour and a half.

We had a good laugh at their first baseman who was trying to cover his position with a beer in one hand and the glove in the other. Never seen that attempted before...

Pitching for our team was lead by Beth M., a new player this fall -- she did rather well. Catching was anchored by Anna C., and she also did very well.

Overall, I think we've got a good squad on Sundays, and it should be a great fall season -- win or lose.

PS: I made a great batch of ice cold Gatorade for our team and brought it out the field, only to realize when I was 90% of the way there, that I'd forgotten the cups. Oh well. It tasted great coming right out of the cooler. Ha ha.
