In their first three showings on the diamond, the Alpha Vet Clinic softball team suffered three devastating losses. Bested by teams with bigger players who had more practice, the little yellow team struggled with to keep hope alive. In game one, the team racked up more walks than anything else, allowing their opponents to score 29 runs in a three inning game before the game was called off. In the two following games, the little Alpha team managed to knock in a couple runs and make a few plays, which surprised the players most of all.
One highlight of the Alpha team's opening performances has been young pitching phenom Maddie "Wild Pitch" Pfirrman. Much like Eddie from Bull Durham, Pfirrman has a mean (underhand) fastball that is as wild as her crazy long hair. Batters quaked at the plate with Pfirrman on the mound - not so much fearing a strikeout as a wild pitch. At each showing on the mound, little Pfirrman managed to hit several batters - two right in the head.
Will the Alpha team manage to pull it together for at least one win this season? Will the wild arm of Maddie Pfirrman be tamed?
Stay tuned for season updates.
