What a GAME!!!!

Last night was a the final game of the Fall 2008 Season for the SNOWFLAKES, yes I said the Snowflakes. The Snowflake is the logo for my company C.H. Robinson Worldwide. A select few individuals play in a softball league on thursday evenings. Last night was a game for the books. We went into the game in 2nd place with a record of 5-2. We played the Hidden Lakers which were currently in 3rd place so we had to get a "W" to lock up 2nd place.

We decided to go with a different line up then normal since it was our last game and we quickly found that this was not a good decision. Chad has been banned from pitching ever again, CJ is not allowed in the outfield again and I am not a 3rd basemen (normally play left field). After a very rocky start and giving up 11 runs in the first inning we dug a hole that would be tough to get out of.

After 2 solid innings and David Craig coming out of Retirement and hitting a clutch 2 out shot scoring 2 RBI's we tied the ball game up at 13-13 after the top of the 4th. After Another solid defense in the bottom of the 4th inning, we had a chance to take the lead in the top of the 5th and we came through scoring 7 runs to make the game 20-13. we got a little shaky and let them score 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th to make the score 20-15.

There was 1 minute left on the clock so we had to start another inning since we were visitors and we had a chance to put the nail in the coffin with more runs, but we went 3 up and 3 down so the Hidden lakers had there shot to get back in the game in the bottom of the 6th. 3 outs and 2nd place was in the bag. Noble pitched a great inning in the 6th and finished it off by catching a line driver right back at him to end the game!! It was one for the books....
