Getting down to business

Tonight marks the first game of the second half for my softball team. We're playing the team we opened the season against 5 weeks ago. We got off on the wrong foot in the first half, losing 14-7. Hopefully, we can turn this around; with a strong second half run, we have a legitimate shot at the playoffs. UPDATE - 5/28/04: We wound up losing 3-2 last night, and looked a lot like the Phillies doing it. We had runners on base every inning, but just couldn't get that one hit to bring them home. Scattering 12 hits over seven innings, we stranded a total of 10 runners. This drops our record to 4-6 and give us an uphill battle towards the playoffs.
