Women’s Softball 2009

It’s bitter sweet really. The Adult Women’s league ended last night. The season seemed to fly by — I guess because there were only 4 teams in the league. We finished 4th in the season (that’s right 4th out of 4 teams) but that just so does not do our team justice. To look at our record of 4-9 does not tell of the heart that each lady played with every night. Several of the games we lost, we only lost by a few runs — and those all came down to one bad defensive inning.

The game I’ll remember is when we gave the undefeated 1st place team their first loss. Yes! That was awesome And we beat them in the first round of the tournament. Last night we played in the championship game. No one really expected us to be in that game. I know I didn’t. We lost 17-8 — just didn’t hit the ball. I’ll forever be focused on how bad I did though. Popped up to the pitcher with bases loaded, 2 outs. Unacceptable. So I’ll keep working out and practicing ball. There’s always co-ed this fall.

This was my first year coaching and a stressful one at that. I had just wanted to play but knew I couldn’t play without putting a team together. Well, that and if I had not put this team together, there might not have been a league at all. Although I’ve griped about coaching most of the year, I think I’ll be crazy enough to do it again next year

Way to go Luther’s Angels!
