SOFTBALL What does the Softball team remember most about this year? A few of the highlights in- clude: getting hit in the nose by a knee, play- ing 3 extra-inning games in a row, only 10 players at a game, playing home games at 4:00 (the park lights were broken), practicing for 2 hours before a game, playing a 9 inning game (3 1 2 hours), 11 games before a prac- tice, sliding down a hill sideways in the bus on a fresh oiled road, trying to hit the ball with your finger, and playing Audubon six times in Fall Softball.
