.500
Yesterday, I played in my first ever game of softball. And what fun it was.
I played for four innings, got a bit sun burnt, and, well... I did okay.
Firstly, the opposition never hit any balls into left field, where I was playing, so I didn't have to catch anything, which, conveniently meant I made no errors.
I had two at-bats. First one, I hit a single. I was so shocked that I managed to hit the ball, that I just stood there and watched it before a teammate shouted at me to remind me that I needed to run to first base. A couple more batters along, and I got to run from second base all the way home to score a run. My oh my, that was good.
Second at-bat was not so good; I stuck out swinging.
So, for probably the last time in my softball life, I've got a .500 batting average.
We won 14-3, and I can't wait for the next game in two weeks. Although I must remember to wear suncream next time; my arms and neck are burning like hell today.

I'm playing this Thursday, for the first time. Any tips?
Erm, sun cream... And as you're walking up to the plate, hum 50 Cent's "In Da Club" to yourself; it makes you feel tough!
Man I think softball is the American equivalent of darts. Wouldn't go near the game, myself.
But your timing is excellent:
