Weekly Softball Update: Week 3

Lost a doubleheader tonight. My defensive contributions were limited due to a sore elbow (one game at first base, one at DH), but I managed to go four for six with two runs batted in and a run scored.

Weekly Softball Update: Week 2

Short-handed loss tonight. Had to play with three outfielders, which included me in left. Caught 5,674 fly balls and went 3 for 4 with a double and two runs scored.

With the intense sun and heat -- and no time to stop to get a bottle of water before the game -- I was so exhausted by the seventh inning that, during my last at bat, I was completely relaxed and hit the hardest line drive I've hit thusfar this season. (The key to hitting a softball, I've learned, is to be completely relaxed and explode through the ball at the last possible second.) During my postgame shower routine, one thing became obvious: I have seriously lost weight. Yay!

Weekly Softball Update: Week 1

My spring softball season started this week. We split a doubleheader and I hit pretty well. It looks like I'll be bouncing back and forth between third base and left field, which is fine with me.
