Softball is dangerous!

Yes, this is my face - no, I don't usually look like I have a beard, its the shadows.


Today was just not my day! In the first inning, I strained an inner thigh muscle, and when I went up to bat I got a hit, and running made it worse. I pulled up lame - they had to get someone to run for me.
I sat the second inning - and then in the third inning is when it happened. Shortstop gunned a ball right to me, and it spun UP at the last second and hit me in the face. Yep right in the chin. I grabbed my face and walked away. I was trying to walk in the dugout, but somehow I ended up by the bleachers. One guy was standing there, and I remember thinking that I hoped blood wasn't pouring out of my mouth. I took my hands away and there was no blood.

Call me stupid, but I picked up my glove and took my place back at 1st base.

When the half inning was over, Hongo came up to me and wanted to see. I have a cut lip, bruised chin, and my gums are bruised. I finished the game (I got one more hit!) and the last play of the game was a grounder to the second base and she BARELY got it to me in time. I stretched for it and I felt the ball hit my glove RIGHT before I felt the runners foot hit the base.

We lost by one. Hongo hurt his arm throwing, so between his arm, my thigh, and my lovely face, we called it a day. We were going to go watch my coach's softball game, and his daughter had asked me to work with her. But i just couldn't do it.

It hurts to talk - I go in spurts where I say a bunch of stuff, but then my mouth HURTS.


I told LegoQueen that I never wanted to hear her complain that she got hit by a ball, LOL!!!!
