Labor Day Softball Tourney

Labor Day - an extra day off!  I wasn't sure what to do with 2 days off in a row, but luckily we had a whole slew of softball games scheduled over the weekend.  Every day it seemed to be beautiful during the day, but by 6:30 pm, when are games started, clouds and rain blew in.

There were 4 teams in the tournament, double elimination.  Unfortunately we lost the first game on Friday, we couldn't seem to get any hits and our defense was pretty miserable.  On Saturday we played the worst team in the league, the looser of the other game, and won without a problem.  On Sunday we had to play the team we lost to in the first round, as they lost their second game.  Today however are bats were on fire and we scored enough runs to win the game by the mercy rule in the 5th inning.  That left us to play the last remaining team, and since they were undefeated we had to beat them twice to win the title.  The first game went really well, we had a home run and I even hit pretty well, with a double and a single, plus a walk, and we ended up winning 11 to 4.  The second game started out well, we were consistently getting hits and runs and our defense was solid.  We were up 12 to 6 going in to the bottom of the 7th, the last inning, when they finally started getting some hits.  They got to within 3 before we got the 3rd out and ended the tournament with a win.

It was a nice way to end the long weekend, to bad we have a 12 hour day tomorrow.
