Oh Boy! The ThunderCats won big tonight friends! We beat the Knuckleheads 15 to 0! It was a confidence boosting victory after getting smacked down last week. We tried to be nice about our win because we know all to well what it feels like to be on the other side of a slaughter like this.
We started out in the field one player short. Brandon was a few minutes late, so we had to begin without him meaning there were only 3 players in the outfield (yes, softball is pansified baseball). It ended up being fine though because no balls were hit to the outfield that inning or any inning thereafter. As the matter of fact, I think the only people involved in any given play were Billy (Pitcher), Jonny (SS), Brandon/Ryan (1st), and Jess (2nd) like one time. The Knuckleheads pretty much had 3 up 3 down every time they were up to bat. I don't think they even made it through their entire batting order once.
We, on the other hand, hit the hot crap out of the ball all night. I was first at bat this evening and I nailed the poo stew out of that melon. Granted, I am a girl, so when I say I "nailed the poo stew out of that melon", I mean that I hit a nice hard line drive to shallow center field, but still, I made it to first no problem. Jonny was up after me and he really smacked the squeeze out of that soft serve, and that is how we got our first couple of runs and they didn't stop coming after that. Billy had his first in the park homer of the game this inning. I think we were up by 6 after the first inning.
When we were back in the field Brandon was with us at first base and the 3 amigos (Brandon, Billy, and Jonny) worked their magic. 3 up 3 down, if my memory serves me correctly.
Back at bat we kept running the bases with one good hit after another. Several of us were walked because the pitcher was starting to shake in his cleats for fear of the killer Cats. We tried to hit as often as possible, because only the weak sauce man/woman takes a walk if he/she can avoid it. Billy had another in the park homer at some point. All-star, what? But he is not the only one who shined at the plate, oh no, everyone hit like a super star tonight. Jess had to high-tail it home once and ended her run with a beautiful slide in for the point. Safe by the skin of her knees. That's right folks, we were out for blood, and it flowed like kool-aid.
We were all extremely please with the win. We needed a little pick me up and we got it tonight. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera tonight, so no pics. Most of us met up at Steak n' Shake afterwords to celebrate. Good times were had by all, except my screaming children.
Special thanks to Brandon for coming back into town just to play in this game with us. He is headed back to work in Columbus at the butt crack tomorrow. We feel for you B! Thanks for speeding home for us!
Next week we play the Green Machines. They will be more of a challenge, but I think we are up for it. See you all at the ballpark next week at 6:00! ThunderCats HOOOOO!
