Chris's 2008 Fall Softball Team


After a grueling summer playing Division III softball, they regrouped and played a shorter - and less competitive - fall season. Hard-up for players, they asked me to fill in. I agreed- reluctantly, but 10 minutes into the game, I was having a blast and played the rest of the season. These great shots were taken at the fifth game of the season by Teresa.

10 minutes after a victorious 1-run game to make it into the playoffs.

Another magical Friday night at Comstock.

 

Darrel steps in.

 

Dru digs one out at first, sort of...

 

Brad waiting on a pitch.

One game he beat our several infield hits - one to second base!

 

Byran beats one out.

 

Chris -the monster-crushed one-after-another down the third base line.

 

The third base coach (me) made a poor judgement and sent Chris home. He wisely held up before getting to the plate and got into a pickle. He forced them to make one-too-many throws and scored.

 

Intense in the dugout.

After his earthly father hangs him out to dry, Chris petitions to his heavenly father.

 

Darren after making a GREAT game-ending play at third. If he missed it, we would have lost. He made several spectacular plays throughout the season - with NO errors!

Dru at the plate.

 

Gary at the dish.

It was a humbling season for me at the plate.
