Softball
Today Noé and I played our first game in the Rota community co-ed softball tournament. Rota High has organized an adult team, including teachers, spouses, and a couple other players.
Most teams just have 2 females on their team, which is the minimum. Our team is mostly women! There is a rule that if you have 2 outs, and the next batter is a woman, she can choose to either walk or go ahead and bat. Our team had a batting lineup with about 4 woman in a row, so whenever we were 2 outs, we would start walking our female players, which ended up filling up all the bases, and in one case got us a run! The other team just stood sheepishly and watched as we walked from base to base until a male batter got up to bat.
Anyway, we ended up loosing, since we never practice and some have never played before, but it was really fun. It was Noé's first time ever playing softball/baseball, but he did good anyway.
Here is a picture of Noé up to bat:
