An intramural softball team that some friends and I recently put together played our first game today. And by played I mean lost horribly. The score was 26 to one. On the upside I'm currently batting 1.000. I only came up to bat once but I'll take wins where I can get them.
Our team seemed to be pretty decent during practice but the moment we hit the field today it was like everyone forgot everything they seemed to have a decent grasp on yesterday. People weren't moving for balls that were clearly closer to them than anyone else on the field, fly balls were dropped after it seemed they had been caught, some people had apparently never thrown a ball before, and too many people were too afraid of the ball. That last one is almost inexcusable seeing as everyone had essentially chosen to play a game that depends heavily on not flinching when a ball is thrown at you.
