Baseball Tournament

Yesterday, my beep baseball team went to play against a team a few hours from here in Albany Georgia. For those who are unfamiliar with the game, beep baseball is a modified version of baseball for the blind. In the game, the pitcher is sighted, and there is no catcher. The ball beeps so the batter and fielders can hear it at all times. The whole pitcher pitching the ball and batter swinging is the same, accept there are 4 strikes instead of 23. However, there is only 1 base, which means that you are either out or score a home run when you run for it. Also, the base makes a buzzing sound so we can know where to run too. The fielders are not what you would tipically see on a ball field. Because of the size of the ball and the lack of sight, they don't have to catch it in mid air with a glove. Instead, they wait for the ball to hit the ground and find it. Instead of positions, each fielder has a number. When the ball hits the ground, the number it is closest too is called, and that person along with the two people on either side go for the ball while the member of the opposing team runs for the base. Obviously, all the players are blind folded. That's basically how the game works.
Anyway, since my team was playing there yesterday, and I have a friend who lives there, I decided to make a weekend out of it. My friend, Sean, and I went to a few different stores Friday night after he got home from work just to have something to do. Yesterday, we went to the ball field, where I met up with the rest of the team. We didnt winn the game, but I did get the first run for my team, which is what mattered most to me. After the game, I rode back with my dad, (and Mason of course) back to Atlanta. Not a bad way to spend a weekend if I do say so myself. My only regret is that it had to end so soon.
