The ORCC All-Star softball game

Sunday afternoon, the ORCC All-Star softball game was held at the VA Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe.  Team 2 was made up of players from the OU branches (Chillicothe, Lancaster, and Zanesville) and team 1 was made up of players from OSU-Newark, Miami University-Middletown, and UC-Clermont.  Erin got to play in the game and played well.  She entered the game batting in the top of the 3rd(4th?) inning and doubled in the first two (tying) runs for the OU team, but got stranded at 3rd base.  She then played the rest of the game in right field where she ended up making 2 plays.  The first one was chasing a ball that got by the first baseman and skidded on the artificial turf off the wall and back toward the corner.  She picked it up and threw to third to hold the runner.  The other play was a fly ball after the other team had retaken the lead, where she didn't get a good break and made it look like she was going to miss it, but she did catch the ball to end the inning and kept the lead from getting any larger.  In her final at-bat, Erin was called out on a pitch that was about at her ankles.  Sigh... Team 1 beat team 2 by a score of 4-3.  Still, the girls had fun.
