We won our softball game today, 20-19 in extra innings. This victory was a minor miracle as we were outplayed and beaten badly for 5 innings . We were down 17-9 after 5. But we held them in the 6th, then scored 5 to make it 17-14. They added one in the 7th but we came roaring back to tie it 18-18 after 7. We gave up a run in the extra frame (thanks to my throwing error) but they made some bad plays of their own when we got to the plate. I knocked in the tying run and put the winning run on 3rd base with a hit down the line. The next player up – a guy that I had moved from 7th to 5th in the order because I had a good feeling about him – lined the next pitch over the shortstop’s head to win the game.
Hell of a game. I will be smiling the rest of the day.
