16-9, Five Star Auto over Champs

Had a softball game at 8am this morning. I didn't get much sleep last night but I didn't feel too tired this morning, and my sore throat felt a bit better. We won, 16-9, against a good team. I had a good game, at least at the plate. While in the field, there was a long fly ball that I may have been able to catch had I taken off in the correct direction immediately but it went well over center fielder's head and I was playing left. I should have dove for it but I can't seem to dive backwards, or away from home plate. I need to work on it. I did stab one looping line drive in the 5th or 6th inning.
I went 3-3 at the plate with three doubles. I didn't hit the ball particularly hard, I just tried to hit it where they ain't, or weren't. I also used a new bat for the first time today. I ditched the green Easton and tried the blue Cyclone. I only did it because Joe always bats before or after me and we both liked having the bat in hand while we were on deck. The Cyclone weighs the same and it's the same length, so it's pretty much the same bat. It felt lighter though.
I only remember recording that one put out in the field, which was odd considering we were playing one girl short, thus three outfielders instead of four. As an outfield battery we didn't play too well today, but the infield was great. Gannon made several great plays at shortstop.
