Almost Champions
The long, strange ride is over for the CS softball team. We won our semifinal game in typical fashion yesterday, 17-4 or thereabouts, but in the championship we were pitted against an unholy alliance of Beta Theta Pi and Delta Gamma. Even though there is a special competitive intramural league for fraternities and sororities, Beta decided to uphold their reputation as the lamest of frats and enter the open league.
Despite their arrogance, loudness, and general annoying tendencies (like a pitcher that took 2 minutes between pitches to adjust his grip on the ball and stroll around the mound), we still had a decent shot of winning, but our defense, which had been one of our strong suits, started to fall apart and our offense couldn't compensate. We ended up losing 11-8, but the fact that we lost to a fraternity, the greatest of all my archnemeses, makes this loss that much harder to take.
Time for an off-season of hard work and training in the event that we meet the same enemy next year. Either that or continue in my master plan to take down the entire Greek system...
