"The Miracle on Dirt" - Al

Yep it happened, yesterday, the unthinkable. The Thursday 16" softball team that I am on, The Little Joe O'Connors, with a not so stellar record of 1 and 4 beat the undefeated 16" of Fury. It was one of the greatest softball games ever, great defense good hitting and all around heads up ball. The Little Joes took an early lead of 2-0 and held it till the top of the fourth., but then the bad guys scored three quick runs putting us down by 1. The team though immediately bounced back scoring 2 more. Going into the top of the 7 and final inning the fury scored 2 more runs and with what could have been a devastating blow to the little Joes the team took it in stride knowing they had the last at bat and a chance to steal one from a great team. Asak lead of in the bottom of the ninth and with a ground ball back to the pitcher it seamed like we were off to a bad start, but for some reason, even though Asak had been doing all game, the team didn't hustle and Asak was for sure going to beat out the hit. The other team then scrambled and through the ball away so Asak kept running and didn't stop till he slid into third on a close play. HOLY CRAP it was getting intense now, the tying run at third and no outs. Colleen came up next and hit a grounder to the short stop, but they were so concered with holding Asak at third they let her have the base. Finn came up next and squeezed one through. Al then hit a rip and got on base scoring Asak, TIE GAME. The winning run was now on base and Mcginty came up to bat a SMASH, and Colleen easily scored, The Little Joe O'connors pull the upset. That was truly an amazing game.

I am sure I might not have that story perfect, but it was going by so quickly and intensly my brain couldn't keep up with it all, so if i made a mistake, sorry, but the end result is the same...the 1-4 team beat the 5-0 team
