Runner's Up
What happens in Fleming stays in Fleming. Haha just kidding. Let me fill you in.
How much fun was this weekend? Score a 10 on the play factor. Went up friday and did not play until 10:30 Saturday morning. Friday at the Country Squire Inn in Moosimin was a gong show. First of all they had buckets of beer. 5 beer for 11 bucks. Hello slopitch promotion. So no one ordered another drink just another bucket. That ended up with of course one guy named buckethead (and no it's not me), a congo line throught the bar, me doing the best matchbox twenty sing song and of course a dance off with me retaining the title. (they don't call me wiggles for nothing).
So ya a late night for sure and it showed in our first game as we lost to Rhien 5-4 after committing 4 errors. That sure woke us up. What a great diamond in Fleming. Kinda like a field of dreams thing with this diamond with dugouts, light and a great set up in a town of 35 people. Next game we crushed Whitewood 14-0 and i also took one out of the park. Too bad it was straight away centre field which is 255 feet. So that lead to the beer gardens and lots of fun. I did talk to this one girl who i met friday who was a wealth of knowledge. To bad she has 18 holes in her ears. Yikes!
So our victory meant a 9:00 am game. Back to the hotel and then to a BBQ at a teammates sister. Great and it so hit the spot. Back to the hotel again and we went for a night cap right. Wrong that lead to a late night and all kinds of conversation with all kinds of people. Who new a red bikini could be such a conversation piece?
So sunday was a tough game against Atwater. We pulled it off 4-1 and i hit clean-up. Yup me. Now our regular clean-up hitter went to a family thing so everyone moved up. That was a switch as i'm no power hitter but a great contact hitter. It paid off as I had a huge double to score our runs and we cruised after that. That meant we played Rhien again and no way were we losing. A big 5-2 victory. That meant the final against us and the host Fleming. Both teams are called the Jets and we both have black top. What a feeling to switch to our second white uniform. A class act all the way. Well 4 hours of ball in 30 degrees kinda wore us out. (well maybe a late night too had something to do with it. So we lost 5-2 in the final and Fleming hired gun pitcher was effective enough. We never quit but they got key hits when the need more then us. Best finish every by the Mortlach Jets. 2nd place
This weekend is exactly why sports are the best thing for you. So much fun, competition and begin part of a team.
Can you tell we had fun?
