Personal Narrative: My Favorite Day Of Playing Softball

My favorite day of playing softball was on March 19, 2016. We had a tournament and we were hosting it. There was six teams in the tournament including us. We had to be at the field by 7:00 in the morning to help get the field ready. Throughout the day we had pool play games, bracket play games, and the championship games.

Pool play games are just games to see where you will be at in the bracket play games. Our first game was against Woodland at 9:00 in morning. It was early and you could smell the grass where it had not to long ago been cut. When we started playing it was still morning so it was still a little chilly. I started to get chill bumps on my arms, so I had to put on my long sleeve undershirt. We got ahead of them early in the game and ended up winning it. Our next game wasn’t until 12:00 in the afternoon, so we had a one game break. Our second game was against Valley. It was in the afternoon, so the sun was really bright. It was in everybody’s eyes when they were out in the field. That is an advantage when you are hitting and a disadvantage when you are in the field. The sun was so bad that even my sunglasses wouldn’t help that much. This game was a good game and we stayed close in score throughout the game. Although, we eventually won the game.

This was a single elimination tournament, so once you lost you went home. We were the number one seed in our pool, so we got a one game break. Our next game wasn’t until 3:00 p.m. This game was gonna be against either Horseshoe Bend or Woodland, whoever won between them two. I knew some people from Horseshoe Bend, so this was a game I actually sat down and watched. Horseshoe Bend won the game and that meant we had to play them next. I felt weird playing against someone I played with all summer. We won the game, so we get to play in the championship
