I had the mother of Coed teams last night! This team comes out and says none of them had ever played softball before.
They had no clue there was supposed to be 5 guys and 5 gals playing defense, didn't realize that you can strike out on the 2nd strike (this was USSSA by the way!), didn't know it was suppose to alternate male/female/etc. in the batting order, didn't know the guy automatically gets 2nd when he walks, etc. They even had their outfield playing so shallow even a double could turn into a homerun!
The other team (home team by the way) was loaded with a kid who was an all-state baseball pitcher (who ended up hitting for a triple and a homerun in the park), his dad who was a pretty good ball player back in his younger days and still is, and some gals who can hit screamers that scared the **** out of my partner. Game was over in 2 1/2 innings 16 to 0. Pathetic!
