Day 170: Blue Skies, Black Jerseys

(Nikon D90, Sigma 70-200 II @ ~105mm, f/4, 1/2000, ISO 200)

Much to my surprise and to everyone else's, the weather held out.  If anything we got the exact opposite of thunderstorms - clear skies and bright sunlight.  That's all well and good unless you're out there with a black Ekklesia uniform or me with a dark navy blue T-shirt.  In my defence, I thought it was going to rain and opted to not wear a lighter colour shirt.  Heat issues aside, at least it was a nice day for some good ol' softball.  Some photos from the game, below:

The game went well, with both teams making smart plays all around and fighting for every run.  No quarter was given by either side, with the score see-sawing back and forth during the early half of the game.  Even towards the latter end, Ekklesia didn't maintain a massive lead and the game remained intense right up until the last out.  By far the most enjoyable game I have watched this season.

Not a bad way to kick off a mid-season break.  Next games are on July 4th.
