FAPC Softball 2008: Game 6 (June 1, 2008)

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:
