| Softball 32 [5] | |
| Yes, that's 32 seconds. I decided that if Roger can log 1:34 of intensity 5 on a clown bike, then I can log my single and three triples. I can't think of an instance that is more intense than gunning for a triple. | ||
| Softball 2:29:28 [0] | |
| The rest of the two softball games that didn't involve running anywhere.
We won both games. One fairly easily and one that was close until we pummeled with six in the last inning. I batted 4-6 with three triples and one single. I scored three runs. In the field, I pitched for five innings, played 1st and 2nd base once each, and sat the remaining six innings. The one downside to playing with a large team is that I have to sit a lot and I only get a few at-bats. | ||

| Volleyball Tournament.
I'm logging this at a higher intensity level than normal, just because I was working harder because it was now-or-never time, plus I was *really* going after my serves. First Game: We were the #4 seed in an 8-team tournament. We played the #5 team, who we knew we could beat. We let them hang around until about 10-10, and then Jesus launched about 10 serves in a row. We got lazy and let them close it back to 5, but we won 25-18. Second Game: Against the #1 seed, who didn't have their awesome setter girl. However, they had another hitter, so all 4 of their players were awesome hitters (and decent setters). I perfected my jump serve to the point where I won 3 consecutive service points. That was pretty cool. We hung around and didn't embarrass ourselves. This team is just too good with those 4 hitters. We lost 25-19. Third Game: Into the losers bracket, where we had a rematch with our first round opponent. We were in a pretty good groove from the previous game, so we took it easy a little bit and won fairly easily, 25-16. Fourth Game: Played the #3 seed here, with a very solid hitter and a very solid setter. We were behind most of the way, but we overtook them at 17. We squandered 3 match points because we weren't aggressive enough, and then we pulled it out, 26-24. Fifth Game: Played the #2 seed in a game that would send us to the championship game. The other team was well rested, and we were getting tired. Plus, they had solid hitters. We hung around with them through about 14-15, but they pulled away with 4 straight points, and won 25-18. 3rd place! Now it's a month off. Hopefully, I don't get too rusty, because my jump serve can be lethal if I practice it just a bit more. | ||

| Softball 2:40:00 [1] | |
| Softball doubleheader.
We beat the defending champs for the first time ever in the first game, 7-6. We were the away team, so it was pretty nervewracking in the 7th inning, knowing they only had to score 2 runs to win. But, we held them scoreless over the last three innings and got just enough clutch hitting to win. Earlier in the game, I had another bases-loaded, two-out situation. I nailed an awesome line drive down the first-base line. It would have driven in 3 runs.... but the first baseman jumped up and robbed me with a sno-cone catch. UGGGGH! So frustrating. Good thing I had the game-tying RBI later in the game, but still, that's twice in the past two weeks that I've come up empty in a bases-loaded, two-out situation. We played one of the bad teams in the second game. We took it easy and won 20-5. I was a mediocre 4-9 at the plate over both games. I pitched the final three innings of the first game and played catcher, right field, and 1st base for the rest. | ||
