First at bat, struck out swinging, and so began my foray into community softball.
Ground out.
Ground out RBI.
Base knock.
Ground out.
My only time on the bases, I didn’t slide into second to keep them from turning a double play. That’s when I learned of the must slide rule, and the double play was called.
My fielding in right was less than stellar.
First ball hit to me went right between my legs, little league “I’m a skateboarder, not a baseball player” style.
Had a couple balls played on a bounce, holding the runner on first. To cap the game off, last inning, I fully missed a pop fly that the ump called out anyway, just to keep the time constrained game moving along.
Thankfully, my rookie game skills were right on track with the rest of the team. Fly balls were dropped on several occasions & grounders misplayed more than once. Just a bunch of dudes having fun trying to play a sport. Can’t wait for some more softball action!
