The Spider Monkeys played softball again tonight. The game was on the verge of a blow out with the Spider Monkeys leading 14 -5 in the fourth inning, but then an unfortunate event turned the game against them. Their leader Brandon was thrown out sliding into third. He severely injured his thumb and was forced to seek immediate medical attention.
After Brandon left the game, his team struggled to score runs and the opposition made the most of the opportunity. Back to back big innings by the Mafia made it a one run game as time was expiring. In the bottom of the sixth with the bases loaded and two outs the Mafia made their final stand. It was only after a heroic play by Kristen (playing 3rd base tonight), tagging out the hard charging runner from second, were the Spider Monkeys able to claim this exciting victory.
I have not been this excited at a baseball/softball game in a long time, but that's because I'm a Royals fan. I will include an update Brandon's injury as soon as I learn some new information.
