If you haven’t been to a Fighting Apostles softball game this season you are missing a lot of fun.  Not only is it exciting to watch the guys play, it’s  fun to watch the fans.  It’s a great sense of community and a wonderful opportunity for some intergenerational fun. 

PS…They won the game last night:) 

These guys can hit:

    The Fighting Apostles used the entire field last Sunday to defeat Little Prairie 17-6.

    We hit them hard. We hit them soft. We hit the lines. We hit the gaps, and we even hit one off the fence, thanks to Doug Morris. But the point is we hit, and we hit, and we hit.

   In fact, three of our guys — Doug, Tristan Cox and Mike Schlottmann — each hit inside the park homeruns. Mike’s was notable not only for his well-stroked ball that rolled to the fence, but also for how artfully he tip-toed around the bases trying to avoid outrunning Dave Burton, the base-runner in front of him. It was like “me and my shadow” as they crossed home plate a split second apart.

    The defense was solid. Greg Muth turned in the play of the game. An outfielder who was asked to plug a hole at second base, Greg pounced on the first ball hit his way, scooped it up and came up throwing, delivering a strike to first base for the out.

   Those participating in the Church All-Star Game Challenge for the CAC will note the 17 runs scored. We’ve challenged folks to contribute one dollar for every run scored in last week’s game and in tonight’s contest against New Covenant. Check the website early next week to see how we did and let your conscience be your guide.
