It Was A Good Effort, But In The End We Just Weren’t Good Enough

BHI Bat Asses LogoIf you read my first post on the B/HI Bat Asses, you probably thought our season was coming to a fast close.  Well, you thought wrong.  In a stroke of luck (or a clerical error), our softball team made it to the Culver City Adult Softball League playoffs!

The game took place at Veterans Field in Culver City, Calif. at 7:45 p.m. on Friday, December 4.  While the team had a rocky season, we were all excited to get in the game and see what would happen! We had a great 
line-up including Bender/Helper Impact Partner Dean Bender as pitcher, Account Coordinator Whitney Champion at second, Account Executive Frances Kregel, Senior Account Executive Gabriel Del Rio and Director of Social Media Matt Meeks in the outfield, VP of Digital Entertainment 
Melisa Rodriguez at third, myself (Account Executive Miranda Gooding) as catcher and numerous friends and family playing various positions on the field. 

The game started strong with the Bat Asses leading 10-2 against the highest ranked team in the league! For most of the game we held on to our high score, but as the game wore on it became apparent the opposing team wanted to go all the way. While we made it difficult for them to score runs and get us out, in the end the better team took home the W. They did, however, acknowledge that we had given them a run for their money (which was an amazing compliment after the season we had).

We finished the night with a team trip to Shakey’s Pizza where we relived some of the amazing, hysterical and downright ridiculous highlights of the past three months.  And by ridiculous, I mean players falling all over each other in the outfield and swan dives over the catcher at home plate. While we may not have taken home a trophy, we all really enjoyed our time together.  As we joked around about what a difficult season this was for our new team, our fearless leader really summed it up by stating the obvious, “It was a good effort, but in the end we just weren’t good enough.” Spoken like  a true champ!
