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.

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! |
|
Darrel and Lance on the field. |

Dru at the plate. |
|
Gary at the dish. |

It was a humbling season for me at the plate. Ross on-deck. |
