This game was whack.
Not only did I have to check weather.com all day long to make sure the game wasn't canceled, I was worried that the other team might not show up. I finally got an email from Ryan (team captain from the other team - Watchmen) around 4pm.
As for the game, it was raining on-and-off, and the lights actually went out after the top of the 5th inning. Apparently the whole block was without light due to a blackout in the area. So then we had to go down the hill and kick off these soccer players playing on the other field (this other field, for some reason didn't get hit by the blackout). Those soccer players weren't very compliant nor were they very happy when 25 guys came rolling down the hill with their softball gear in-hand.
Fortunately, after about 5 minutes of deliberation they agreed to let us use the field for 10 minutes hah. They were actually hanging around in right center field while we played the bottom of the 5th inning which luckily finished in about 4 minutes. Watchmen only managed one hit: a flyout, single, popout, and a groundout. Ball game.
I yell thank you to the soccer fellas in right center as we walked off but they didn't even bother to look hah. I don't think I would of gotten off the field to let someone play softball so my props go out to those soccer guys.
Random note: This black dude named Dana (who plays basketball @ lunchtime @ LA Fitness) was randomly there with some chick that he said invited him. And that chick, Jenny, apparently, are good friends with Kendy and his boys. Weird day.
Here is the boxscore to the game (I struck out for the first time ever in this league; I was caught looking batting left-handed):
