Nothing like a good blow out in our second of a double header tonight to really revive the team spirit. We made a recovery 13-13 tie in the first game of the season, nearly a month ago, then have been rained out since until today's double-header. With a lot of new blood on the field and a brand new pitcher (who turned out to be awesome), I was skeptical and the first game turned into a debacle of umpiring culminating in the last inning warning at the bottom of the fourth when we had never gotten forewarned about our last at-bat.
But then the second game came along tonight and after a tough 6-3 loss, we rebounded with a resounding bang, winning a slaughter at 21-2. I probably didn't need to make the sacrifice, but I wanted to slide in safe to 3rd base and didn't quite make it, leaving my own symbolic blood sacrifice in a good faith measure to the other team that I was still giving the game my all. Earlier they had tried to call me as dropping a catch in right field which I obviously palmed on my glove hand. All in all, it was a great game, and I returned home finally thrilled about the season having played better than ever before. At this point in the season, I'm batting over 0.700 and feeling pretty good about it.
