So our last coed softball game last night...Yeah...

ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING!

*****

The championship was already ours since we were the only undefeated team, so this game was the one to determine whether or not we finished with a perfect season...

*****

We were playing the other toughest team in the league, so we knew going into it that this would definitely NOT be a easy one...They're some serious hitters! After the first inning, we were down 5-0, but as soon as we managed to close THAT gap they went up 10-5!

*****

Honestly, it's really all a blur to me! There are so many details I just can't remember at this point b/c I was totally running on adrenaline! (Oh, but I DO remember making an amazing tag at the plate to end an inning with a double play!!)

*****

Anyways, so back to the excitement!

*****

In what would have been the next to last inning, they walked the bases loaded and Cliff pulled out a much-needed grand slam! Now we're only down by 1 (10-9) with one inning to go to keep them from scoring and then get a run or two in ourselves...And so we do! We hold them at 10 and get up to bat ourselves with only 3 minutes left on the clock...Either we score to tie/win or we've gotta get out to force another inning before time runs out...With one out, Jimmy on, and Andy up to bat, I'm totally prepared to strike out myself if the second out is made on Andy's at bat, but luckily Andy gets a double for Jimmy to score the tying run! With no pressure on me now, I once again get walked...But unfortunately the inning ends in a tie and with the clock at zero we've force the extra inning...Once again, we hold them to no runs and just when it looks like they're gonna gonna do the same, with two outs and a full count, MY amazing husband gets a beautiful hit to bring in the winning run and end the game!

*****

What a perfect way to end this amazingly crazy season!

We were definitely excited, but unfortunately much of our joy was stolen due to the fact that since our game ran an extra inning our mens team (a dominating factor in their own league) were forced to forfeit their game since several of their players were still playing in our coed game when theirs should have started...It's actually whole lot of junk and most everyone's pretty dang angry about it too! (Including the other team who got the "win"!) Hopefully today the league will let them reschedule the game for tomorrow night and all will be well...But still, it's just the principle of the matter...The fact that the league told our coach, (while our coed team is fighting for our perfect season in the extra inning) that he should just pull the coed team and let us take the loss so that the men's team could start their game and not have to forfeit...Honestly, what does that say to us?!? "Thanks for playing! It's been fun, you're only one run away from the best season ever, but let's just go ahead and give it up!" Yeah...Like I said...A whole lot of junk!

But on a fun note...

I leave you with a cute pic of some of us girls after the game!

(Yes, I would have preferred a pic with our trophy, but due to the angry chaos that was ensuing, no such pic exists!)
