No Softball Game Tonight!

I play on First Central Baptist Church's slow pitch softball team and we usually play doubleheaders every Tuesday night--except for the 9 or so nights we got rained out this season!  Now that the playoff's are behind us and the season is over, I am really enjoying this first free Tuesday night off. My usual summer's evening schedule is softball on Tuesday night, visitation on Wednesday night, and Celebrate Recovery on Thursday nights.  Looking forward to not having three nights in a row committed for a brief time.  Especially on such a hot and humid day as today!

While we are talking about softball, I might as well tell you that we came in second place in our division!  I would like to especially thank several of the young guys who rounded out our team this year: Austin, Josh, Jose, and Jason.  Also would like to thank all the fielders who made our next to last game look easy.  In slow pitch softball, players are going to hit the ball so it is very gratifying to a pitcher to have the backing of good defensive players.  Thank you all.

Here is a picture of the team with some of the above mentioned young guys missing.  I don't know the average age of our team but I can tell you the combined age of two of the pitchers is 137 years!

Austin at bat.

Speaking of "wisdom", here are the two "mature" pitchers.  I think Danny    was blessing the ball in the middle of the second playoff game. Apparently someone had blessed the other team's bats first!  We only lost 17-9 (I think) so that was not too bad.  The other team was good.

"Blessing" of the ball?

No backspin, must be a knuckler.

Austin is one of the young guys who has been a great addition to our team.  Great year Austin!

One last thing, First Central's team is known for its good sportsmanship and Christian conduct.  That's the most important thing of all.  May our conduct always be exemplary and honoring to God.
