City Rec Softball

I play city rec softball on Monday nights. I played for years from my late teens until my mid 20’s. Then I moved away from my town and quit playing because I didn’t know of any leagues. After moving back to Ottawa last year, I started playing again, and it has felt great. My wife and daughter come to the games, as well as my parents.

Tonight, I hit my very first triple! Not just of the season, but of my entire city rec softball life! I roped the ball really well between left and center, easily made the double and while about half way to second decided to stretch it out and see if I could make it. I should have been nailed. The throw beat me there, just like every other time I tried to stretch it out. But I had a really good slide, and the 3rd baseman tagged me on the chest while my leg was sitting on the bag. I was so pumped!

I followed that up a couple bats later with a double. Two extra base hits in one night! Last year I hit about .650, and every single hit was a single. We won pretty big, but I’m not sure what the score was… somewhere around 16 - 5.
