Go Bayou!

Braving the grueling cold, blustery wind, grinding dirt in the air, a delay of game, a different field to play on and a sharp decline in helpful beverages, our women's Bayou team won the championship game last night, finally acquiring the ever-coveted long-sleeved t-shirt!

Our 9:00pm game did not start until well past 9:30, thanks in part to the 6:30 game running long, and the need to wait to see who won the 7:45 game to see who we then played at 9:00pm. Fighting conditions not meant to play softball in - dirt storms, winds that change the pitch flight of the ball, outfield gopher holes, and an umpire who doesn't always pay attention (not to mention a cranky team of ladies who would much rather be home in their jammies after 10:00) - our Bayou team came out the winner! Thanks to Fast Tina for bringing us all magic socks. We dazzled the other team with our navy blue socks with white stripes, orange solid, and orange socks with white stripes. We also got our shipment of new cleats in! Orange and white cleats here we come! It was a great ending to a tiring evening, but well worth it. Makes me look forward to next season even more!

I even wore my new t-shirt to work today, as well as the comfy orange socks with white stripes, just for fun. Congratulations ladies!
