Commute June 24, 2004 - revised (none)

Here's our softball game. We played the astrophysics department. That's one of our players crossing the "runner's plate" while the astro players wait for the ball to come in. He got a good roll! The fellow in the red shirt is one of our players who was acting as umpire. It's a pretty low key softball league. It's slow pitch with a lot of strange rules. For example we play with a runner's plate and a batter/catcher's plate. Once the runner coming for home passes the orange cone, he is committed. So then a play at the plate is a force play. If the catcher has the ball and touches the catcher's plate before the runner touches the runner's plate, the runner is out. This is to keep the catcher from getting killed! Just so you know, we won 20-6!
