4 and 2...
and hopefully still rising! Team NYFA won another one last night. It had been 3 weeks since our last game (because of rain delays) and we were itching to get out there and play some ball. We hit well, made some excellent throws, and a couple great catches...all while trying not to stoop to the other team's level.
This is what happened....last week, one of our girls, Natacha Bedu, twisted her ankle, to the point of almost breaking it. Needless to say, she is in a cast and cannot play. So, we asked the team that was playing before us if they had any girls to play on our team, we only needed one to fully cover the field. We grabbed tthis girl named Jess and started to warm up. Well, after our first at bat was done and we took the field, the manager of the other team calls the Ump over and complains that the girl we grabbed isn't actually on our roster or team. A petty move for a team that was losing 4-0 at that point. So we had to play the field with one girl down...yet we still kicked their butts. So, now we are sitting at a 4-2 record and they have a 3-3. We are second in our division to a team we beat (they are 5-1) ....and next week I am not going to be here!
Going to my grandfathers 90th birthday...90! Last time I saw him he didn't look nearly that old. I hope he is holding up well...we shall see. Anyway. My best goes out to the team...I hope we crush 'em next week!
