268-opening night

after 3 weeks of trying the duck snorts finally got their first game in of the season, and it typical ducksnort fashion it was a 'W'.

it wasn't pretty, but since it was the first game in abour 8 months for most of us we'll take it. the final score 29-21. although, it looked like a offensive slugfest, the high score was also due to some sloppy defense. personally, i made a throwing error and a fielding error, but it was nice to get the rust off and i expect a much more polished defense on the field soon.

the other team had some problems on defense too, but 29 runs is 29 runs and with only 2 walks in the game you know we had to be banging the ball around pretty good. my swing is definitely not there yet, but i think a lot had to do with just being nervous. (i know i shouldn't be nervous for a softball game, but i was) i barely got a piece of the ball on a couple swings, but i was able to go 4-for-5 (or 3-for-4, i can't remember). so, at least i got lucky in the average department. i was so far ahead on everything and only hit one ball solid. the other ones were bloops that were perfectly place over the 3rd baseman in between the shortstop and left fielder.

the league looks interesting this year. i watched the game before us and they looked about the same skill level as us (although we should definitely be able to take them). but, the guys that played after us looked like they were professionals. i'm not scared, though, as the snorts always find a way to win against teams like that.

look for a duck snorts webpage in the future. i thought i had a photgrapher to take pictures, but she (missy) forgot the camera!

we are now one game over .500 which is about 11 games better than the cubs.
