Funny little softball story

[Bulldog]

Co-ed work slow-pitch softball league, pretty casual but a little competitive. Opponent at the plate (I'm at SS), 3-2 count, 2 out, two on. He is a lefty and they have the third-base side bench. Our pitcher throws a pitch headed at least a foot outside. A walk is a run here, because men get two bases on a walk in co-ed slow-pitch (discourage walking men to pitch to women).

Anyway, batter sees ball headed way outside, and takes off for first while tossing his bat toward bench. Pitch hits bat, foul ball, batter out, inning over. The look on his face was priceless! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

We lost anyway.
