A Glorious Loss

Let me tell you about last night. In a softball league where we have been mercied (beaten by at least 15 runs) every game this season, we entered last night's game with only eight players. This meant we would have to play with only three outfielders and no second baseman. "Toast" was the word rolling through my head.

Fast forward to the top of the 7th inning...we are down by eight runs and ready to "run out the clock"...just happy that we finished a game. Over the next ten minutes we witnessed the greatest output of runs we have seen in about a decade. Piling on fifteen runs in one inning, we went to the end of the game all smiles.

Of course, they scored five more runs easily and topped it off with a walk-off three run home run. But that was beside the point...losing by one run was glorious! We had to celebrate with a few rounds at the Crest and an $8.00 steak.

Wow! What a game!

FYI...the picture is of our one and only championship at Barnes Park.
