Softball Game
Last Friday, I went to cheer on Erica and History's Mysteries during one of their softball games. It was beautiful afternoon. The sun was in my eyes. The cicadas were buzzing. Summery, even though I'm ready for fall. I was all set to cheer for Erica, like any good friend, but when she first got up to bat, I have to admit I was a little doubtful about Erica's talent.
Luckily, she proved me wrong, and I was able to cheer for her in full confidence.
She was even a fantastic third base-person and caught a line drive! (I didn't get a picture of that, though, because it happened so fantastically easily and quite unexpectedly.)
Sometimes there wasn't a lot going on at third base, though, so Erica passed the time doing a little dance and sending me signals.
The History Department played a pretty good game, but it wasn't enough to beat whatever other department they were playing (no one really knew who they were). The agony of defeat was written all over Erica's face.
Maybe next time.
