Texas Softball Tournament

So last weekend I participated in a nationwide SigEp softball tournament in Arlington, Texas. It was an amazing time. We rented an RV to ride down in and rolled into parking lot like big ballers. We were the talk of the tournament, we were 1st place out of the undergrad teams and placed 4th overall. We lost to an Alumni team from Louisiana, who had been playing together for over 30 years 7-4 and we lost 6-5 to a different alumni team from Arlington. Both games we should have won due to bad calls by the umpires. The first game we were up 3-4 going into the bottom of the 7th, which was the last inning, we had 2 outs, they grounded to short, the throw was off but I was able to make the grab. They ump said I pulled my foot, even the other team said they got lucky on that call. Anyways, our pitcher, who was a last second replacement because our normal one had something come up, walks the next three batters and then one guy hits a grand slam. We got sent to the losers bracket, won the next game, then played the Alumni team from the Arlington Chapter. We were down 3-4 going into the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs, the batter before me, pops up to the left fielder. We had the tying run on third. The left fielder drops the ball but the ump didnt see it. We got screwed over twice in the last inning which cost us the games. O well, we did good and we will come back next year for the trophy. I am tired the weekend wore me out, I will put up pictures soon. Later
