Slo-Pitch playoffs

August 25 - Playoffs
Monday night (yes, Monday) saw the opening games of the slo-pitch play-offs. Our first game, vs Erb Street, started with a lot of good defence. While both teams got runners on base, no one scored until Erb St's bottom half of the third. We stayed close for most of the game, with a number of shut-out innings, but only managed to score one run. In the second game, vs Stirling, Val Frey stepped up big to take over Lynn's position at second, and allow us to play with the legal minimum of eight players. Our hitting difficulties continued, as we got a lot of runners on base but couldn't bring them in. As I learned the hard way, there is no rally that cannot be killed by incredibly stupid baserunning. (That would be forgetting there was only one out, not two, and running hard from second on a pop fly.) I could go on about the myriad ways that I goofed up Monday night, but I'll just say that our car key was found in the field just before tow truck might have taken it home for me.
