What a way to kick off the season!!!
First game of the IPI Ballahs softball league; early game time, crisp Spring air, sun shining, slight breeze, clean diamond, rested players—doesn't get much better than that when setting a scenario leading up to victory!
As with previous seasons, while well intentioned, we didn’t ever manage to pull out any team practices before the season opener (shocking). However, watching the game last night you may have assumed differently.
We rocked it!
Team Deloitte came out and began to warm up. But even with the extensive, interesting, and even slightly arousing stretching techniques going on at one side of the field and the number of ‘leggy’ chicks making up their female players, they were no match for the hard hitting, fast running, big playing Ballahs.
Jon Wright set the tone early by smacking a ball straight outta the ball park! The entire game had double-play precision scattered throughout each inning coupled with some pretty sweet slides and bullet fast runs to safety. We had our mini Vance lucky charms, some fans we know and love, and a surprise new mega fan that jumped on the IPI Ballah Fan Club Train with some serious vigor, (loudly) cheering on our every move into a victorious ending.
IPI: 9 —- Deloitte: 3
WooHoo!
If last night’s game is any indication of what the season will be like (or could be like with some continued sobriety during play)—then everyone is in for a real treat!
Gear up for our next game: Thursday, April 22nd @ 8:30 pm
Hope to see you all there!
