The game was more than just the staff members playing, as high school and elementary students got involved by playing quick games in between every other inning. The students had to spin around with a bat to their forehead and then run and tag their partner. The partner followed by doing the exact same thing. A couple innings later another group of students had to throw a ball and hit a bucket off a chair. They had 3 attempts. The students seemed to enjoy getting involved.
As the teams battled to the death, the high school pulled out a win of 9 to 3. Mr. Penrod was the only staff member to hit a homerun. Some slides and dives were attempted. Catches were made, people were walked, balls were dropped, and outs were completed. None of the staff walked away with any life threatening injuries, only minor sore muscles, scraps, and bruises.
The rumor has it, that the softball was a big hit. Parents look forward to more staff softball games in the future.
