LBC (2-0) put 50 points in the first half en route to a 81-68 win over Zoom.
Our team looked strong for the second consecutive week, playing without Tom. Tom is too crazy. My little brother filled in for my older brother and we didn't skip a beat.
I had a solid game. Perfect from 3-land and shot over 70% for the game.

Dust Storm
October 14, 2008, 7:30 PM PST @ Pan Pacific Park
What a odd game.
The lights were out on the regular field so we had to play on the bottom field (which had no green grass). The dust was killer. I got home and my hair had a layer of brown dirt in it. I blew my nose and it came out black.
The umpire is one of the worst and slowest umpires I've ever encountered. He had a dog with him and took a break every half-inning to go say hello. The dog didn't have a leash.
It needed a leash.
That dog was all over our dugout but good thing it never went onto the field.
We should of lost this game. I was heated at the way we played defense. I haven't been that upset in awhile @ a softball game!

1-0
October 11th, 2008, 5:20 PM PST @ Banning HS
LBC 76, Sky Ballin 68.
Our first game had a good result (1-0).
Both teams ran with no bench. We were down 8 at halftime because we were getting zero calls. Killed them in the 3rd quarter. Up eight after three.

Softball Doubleheader
October 7, 2008, 6:30 PM PST @ Northrup Grunman in Woodland Hills
We lost big to the Diablos, dropping the Rockets to 1-2 on the season. I think the difference was 10 runs, 14-4.
The girls present at these games are 10 times better than our work league so these games are worth attending hah.
I played short and 3rd, zero errors. Batted 2 for 3. Made an out batting left-handed.

This was a bizarre game.
First, Benson, our catcher yesterday decided to bat left-handed for the first-time ever because he lost confidence with his right-bat. What a mistake. He takes the first pitch for a ball and then on the second pitch swings with full force. That wasn't the problem though. The problem was he didn't hold on to the bat and launched it at least 30 feet into the air and it went over the fence, our bench, and 2 people playing catch, heading for a occupied, white van. Everyone held their breath as it appeared it was gonna smash that van's windows into pieces. There was a lady sitting in the van with the window down in the driver's seat. She had no idea a bat was coming. Fortunately, it landed a foot short of the van and bounced underneath the van. No injuries, no damages. He proceeded with the at-bat left-handed and grounded out to the pitcher.
Second, Dave, our first baseman for the last couple season tumbled and fell trying to score. He managed to score in turn for a broken finger and damaged tendons to his right hand. He's out 6-8 weeks. Sweet.
Third and finally, we committed at least 12 errors in this game and I was getting heated. Our defense was worst than the Angels' and Cubs' postseason combined. We choke. But luckily we were able to put together a nice 5th inning and escaped with a win. Somehow.
The one out was my first at-bat, batting left-handed hah. Last four at-bats were right-handed. Time to give up switch-hitting.

Rockets Debut
September 25, 2008, 6:30 PM PST @ Northrup Grunman in Woodland Hills
My first game for the Rockets' softball team was fairly decent. I made two errors at shortstop. One ball got by me (I blame it on the runner at 2nd for shielding the ball pretty well). The other one was a bad throw in which I threw the ball low to the first baseman. A good first baseman would of dug it out but it was my bad. The bases were loaded at the time and two runners scored hah.
It didn't matter because we lost by like 5 runs or something.
I was 2 for 2 with a walk. Only one of the hit was legit.
