Howdy Folks,
Just got back from a weekend playing softball on the Geileskirchen NATO Airbase. Thanks first off to the guys from the E-3A AWACS unit for playing host, organizing the beers and burgers and making sure everybody had a great time.
As for the Black Sheep War Machine (my team) we had something of a lackluster performance. We lost 2 of three on the first day. The first loss was to the eventual champions, although it was the most annoying game of all time- people yelling at umps, and it turned into a circus. Second loss was a nail biter. We went ahead from down 2 in the top of the 7th, and lost it in the bottom. (Softball here has 7 innings, is that normal?)
I was personally happy after getting out of a hitting slump. I was able to take home a triple, a few doubles, singles and a successful clutch bunt as well as a handful of stolen bases. I also made a diving grab in out last game but it was meaningless as we won out at the tournament with ease.
Today is a national holiday in Germany because of Pfingsten (Pentecost) and nobody's working. I'm personally using the opportunity to lick my wounds and get it together.
Looking forward to a busy but good week coming up.
