Play ball!

One day at church, Haley and I were sitting and reading the bulletin before the service started. We read an announcement about a church slow pitch softball league and decided it was something we NEEDED to be a part of! As I sat and thought, I knew of one person who needed to be our fearless leader, organizer, manager, and coach. Trent. I spent many summer nights in Pella watching Trent and the other guys play for the Pella Pets in the men's slow pitch league. He's awesome. We got some people rounded up and our team was born!
There was much debate on a team name. I'm not sure where this one came from, perhaps Kelli, but we thought it was brilliant: "We got the runs!" Trent disagreed and said it wasn't mean enough. Did I mention Trent is also super competitive? I'm not even 100% sure but I think we are "The Green Machine." Works for me!
Here are some pictures from our first game last week. We beat the Jordan Park team 7-2. I believe my current batting average is .667.

Hoping our game today is still on, despite the rainy weather!
