Lots of spirit at the Diamond Reddies game against OBU

Sorry it’s up so late.

The Diamond Reddies played OBU at OBU on Saturday March 6.

Now softball is a sport that I don’t watch all the time, but when I do get to watch it I really enjoy it. The atmosphere at the game a great, it was a beautiful day, it wasn’t too hot or too cold, it was the kind of day that you just want to be outside doing something. What better way to spend an afternoon than to watch some Diamond Reddie softball.

I showed up a little late to the first game, the Diamond Reddies were tied 1-1 with OBU when I got there. This would be the score it would stay until the very last play of the game when OBU scored the winning run, ending the game at 2-1. This was a heart-breaker for the Diamond Reddies losing in the last inning, but they would have their chance to retaliate in the second game. The first run scored in the second game came from a thunderous home-run by freshman, Julia Schulz.  From there the Lady Reddies never looked back.  They would finish the game, scoring 4 more runs, with a final score 5-0.

I watched a lot of back when I was in high school because a few of my friends played, so I would go watch them play.  I loved going to the games, they are a lot fun.  The one thing you can say about softball players, is that they are spirited and that is really fun to watch.  The game of softball moves much faster than baseball.  In high school the softball game would be over, just as the 4th inning in the baseball game was beginning.  What does that mean? It means the games are faster and more exciting to watch.  Now I don’t mind baseball, but it is really slow.  This is someone I think should change, baseball games need to be played faster.  A faster game would more fans into the game, which in-part makes it a more exciting game and a better game.

As for the Diamond Reddies, they played a great second game against OBU, and they are fun to watch.  If you haven’t seen them play, then you should.
