2nd Place

Useless Softball News:
The CMC Strike Fighters continued playing in the softball tournament this weekend.  We made it all the way to the C Division Finals on Saturday.

On Friday night, we played Rockwell Collins (C Division).  It was an even match-up and we just beat them 17-16.  We won the game on the final at-bat.  We had the winning run at 3rd with 2 out.  Mark grounded the ball to the pitcher and it should have been and easy out.  When the pitcher went to throw the ball to 1st base, he threw the ball straight into the ground!!!  The runner on 3rd scored and we won on that error.

The 1st Saturday game was the Quarter-Finals vs Masterbatters (C Division).  We won 14-3.

The next game was the Semi-Finals vs Don Cherry's (B Division). Won 15-14 in a game where the Umpire made some erroneous calls.  The umpire's call is final and he explained his calls.  The other team was extremely unhappy and some of them were poor sports about it at the end.

In the Finals we played Risktakers (B Division).  We lost 20-8.  I think we could have beaten them, but our team looked really tired.  We were playing our 5th game in 3 days and our 3rd that day.  The player I was talking to on Risktakers told me it was their 2nd game that day since 12:30.

We finished in 2nd place.  I can't believe we made it to the finals.  We are a C division team and we faced 2 C teams and 3 B teams to get there.  We got there with only half the core players too.  If we had our standard roster, we could have taken it.

Food this weekend ->
Made spaghetti Saturday night after the games.  It was late and I was tempted to go to Rideau or Kanata Noodle House, but I didn't.

On Sunday I scrambled 5 eggs and added a can of tuna.  I was tired and my legs were too sore to stand and cook.
