FAPC's Next Ministries puts together a softball team every summer to play against other Presbyterian churches. Sometimes things get a bit heated, but game 6 was pretty civilized. I think we made a good showing in this game.
Bryan at bat, with (from left to right in the background) Max and Abby in the bleachers, Dan about to send off a practice throw, and coach Kevin overseeing the process:

Bryan rounds the corner, headed to home base, as Steve (background center left) gives guidance at third base:

Bryan speeds up on the straightaway:

Abby at bat, focused on the pitch:

Good eye! Ball one.

Abby follows through on a powerful swing as Pablo and Matt look on:

Dan meditates as he prepares for the first pitch:

Starting to swing:

Head down, Dan sprints for home plate (he's in mid-stride, both feet off the ground here):

Jonathan hits:

Scoring another point for the good guys!

Another hit -- the bases may be loaded since Bryan, Matt and Abby are keeping their eyes on second or third:

Jacki hits (and it looks like Julius in the background keeping the dugout in good order):

And she's off!

Kevin swings:

Running for home:

Up at bat again:

And another hit under Bryan's watchful eye:

Matt at bat:

... and casually nabbing home plate.

Laura at the ready...

...bat back...

...and good follow-through:

Max at bat:

And on his way home:

Pablo is calm and confident:

Starting for first:

Safe!

Margaret does some fancy footwork:

At bat again:

Put away that glove, catcher, she totally nailed this one:

Margaret safe at first:

Steve at bat:

Nope, not in my strike zone:

Bryan sprints to first:

Matt seems to find that softball is thirsty work as he rounds to home plate (Julius and Steve in the background):

Max sprints out of the frame:
