NW picks up wins 2 and 3

The softball team picked up wins 2 and 3 on the season yesterday at ECA.

They prevailed 4-0 against ECA in the first game while I was serving my one-game suspension on the bus. By the way, I have sent a letter to the commish of softball down in Indy documenting the umpire's lack of professionalism during the game in which I was tossed from. I'll let you know if I get a repsonse.

In the second game, we won 10-inning marathon against LaVille, 11-10. The game should've ended after the 7th though. We were ahead 10-8 in the top of seventh with 2 outs and runners on first and third. The third batter in my lineup drilled a home run over the left field fence giving us a 13-8 lead, or so I thought. After the play was over, the other coach appealed to the ump that the runner from second base didn't actually touch the plate until after the runner from first touched. The umpire proceeded to call the runner who was on second out, which was the third out of the inning. That meant that we got zero runs from a three run homer. LaVille scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game up and send it to extras.

We ended up winning so the mistake is something that we can laugh about now.
