So today is Friday which means that most of the girls on my softball team don't come to practice. That's exactly why I like Fridays. I love the girls on my team but when more guys show up than girls it means that when we scrimmage, we play baseball instead of softball. I took infield practice at 3rd and managed to throw a few guys out as well as hit a double with runners on 1st and 2nd with two outs! The not so fun part is that many of the guys on the team think that if they try to throw me the ball normally, a hole will magically appear in my glove and the ball will go right through it and hit me in the face. At least the coach always hits me the ball just as hard as he does for the guys. The only down side is that with his Cuban accent and slang, I have a hard time understanding him. Normally he tells me the play, then hits me the ball, then I field it but have no idea where to throw it . . . then he explains the play again (which doesn't help me any) and repeat. Good thing the practices each day are 3 hours long so we have enough time for dialect barriers.
We have our next softball game on Sunday. I convinced the coach that if we win he should take the whole team out for pizza! Plus he told me that the field we're playing on has a very shallow right field so I'm aiming for a homerun this weekend :)
