Last Thursday my team lost, 8-3, to the worst team in the league. It was their first victory and they were very happy. We played terribly. No one was hitting. Scoring just 3 runs in 7 innings of slow-pitch softball is just pathetic.
Today we beat a better team, 20-13. I cannot explain how a team can hit so poorly one day and hit so well a few days later. Everyone was hitting. Just inexplicable.
I played an early game as a pool player, then played my team’s game. Two games, 8 at-bats, one walk, three singles, two triples and two home runs. I can’t recall the last time I hit a home run. Two in one day? Inexplicable. And 7-for-7? As Vizzini says in The Princess Bride, inconceivable.
A good day of softball. But can I hit that well consistently? Not a chance. Inconsistency is the name of this particular game.
