Personal Narrative Essay On Softball

We were all separated into groups of four and groups of three. There were five groups of kids all waiting and ready to hit. I was in the first group with two other teammates from last year. I was up second to bat, I went to first base and began my lead of first base. I could hear the “ting” of the bat hitting the ball sending it out to where the rest of my team was fielding the balls.

Ever since I learned the ropes, I wanted to play because it has always been my dream to play softball. My mom told me I could try out for Lakeshore Playground that got anyone involved in any sport. There was no such thing as tryouts for this playground. During some of the games, I had my good days and my bad days at either hitting or catching. I loved being on that field. I felt that it was just only my teammates and me on the field waiting for our rivals to hit the ball. That season was a good one, and I will never forget it. This is what started my dreams from just playing on a playground field to being on an actual team. To everyone else it may be just a field with red dirt, but to me it is more than that. It is everything I could dream of because the game is about my teammates and me. I loved my passion, and will continue it later on in my

In the bottom of the inning, with the chance to win, I would make the first plate appearance of the inning with hopes to start it off with a hit. Before our at-bats, Coach Sullivan talked to the team saying, “This is the moment you have all worked for. This is where all that extra work will finally pay off. This is a moment you will remember for the rest of your lives. Now GO GET ‘EM!” So I ran in the dugout, grabbed my helmet and bat, and began getting ready for my at-bat. As I was preparing Coach Sullivan came over and gathered up the next few batters, including myself, and said, “Right now! This is your time! Go do your best and good things will happen!” I was as prepared as ever when I finally stepped up to the plate to start the inning. As the pitch came towards me I swung the bat and felt a POP. I looked up to see the ball soar into the outfield and land as a base hit. The next batter was Ben Beis who, on the first pitch, watched a ball in the dirt which got past the catcher allowing me to advance to second base. Ben then did a sacrifice bunt moving me from second base to third

It was the late in the fourth quarter and the Broncs were about to win another state championship making it two years in a row. There was 20 seconds on the clock and the Broncs were up 49-28 on the Natrona County Mustangs. All we needed to do was take a knee, and sheridan would take home their 25th football state title. The ball was snapped and instead of taking a knee, they ran it with running back Kyle Kustis for another bronc touchdown to make the win 56-28. The block that opened up the hole was offensive tackle and my brother, Blayne Baker. After that night we all went home to celebrate the state championship. The next morning I could barely talk. My throat was throbbing from cheering so loud. “Do you want some pancakes?” my sister, Baylee,

It was my turn up at bat. Even though I had weeks of practice I still couldn’t make contact with the ball. So I picked up my bat and helmet and said to my bat, “Bat, don’t fail me now.” Then I trotted to the plate. “Swoosh!” went the first ball.

It was 7:00 in the morning when we arrived at the Johnston City High School. Once everyone arrived at the high school, we got on the bus and headed off to Benton. As we stepped foot on the bus, we all sat there quietly, nervous about the results of this game. This was the game that determined whether or not we went on to state. Coach Simon and Coach Shane gave us one of their what we like to call "before the game warm-up talks". We were all nervous of course, but we were all determined to win this game. We had been looking forwards to winning regionals and going to state the whole season and that day was the day that we gave us the opportunity to go to state. After the thirty minute bus ride, we finally got to Benton and once we got there,

Nate had threw the first pitch. Wackk. They had hit the ball right back to me and I ran touched first base. I threw the ball back to Nate to pitch it again and Crack They had hit a sky rocket and it can soring down like and eagle. Let me be honest I was actually kind of scared to catch that pop fly. 2 outs we just need one more to go hit and nate pitched it he hit it right to wyatt and he fielded it and threw it to me all I feltwas the dirt come off my glove and hit me in the face.

Someone was pulling me through the house, those things were around every corner. We ran out and the morning sun woke me up, I finally saw who was pulling me, it was Joelle. Melanie and Jack were already in the car ready to go. We jumped in and Melanie stomped on the gas pedal so hard it had a dent.”What happened?” I said as we drove away at full speed. After we get away Joelle screams to Melanie “OK YOU CAN SLOW THE F* DOWN NOW”. Melanie then says “Sorry it was instinct.” Then I said “Wait you team Instinct!?!?!”. “What???” she said, then I said “like in Pokemon Go”. “WHAT THE HECK NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT POKEMON GO! I’M SO SICK OF THAT GAME!”. Joelle gets mad then says “Let’s do our team saying guys”. Then Joelle,Jack and I say “When snow

When we pull up to the diamonds there are games being played. I get out of the car and meet up with the team. We start warming up and getting ready for our first game. Once the game is over we get in our dugout and get pumped. Me and carter play catch while the captains are flipping the coin. We lost the coin toss and we are away. I’m first batter so I start swinging the bat while the pitcher is warming up. After about 5 pitches the umpire tells me batter up. I walk up to the plate, and get ready to swing. The first pitch I hit to third. I run as fast as I can and get to first before the ball can get to the first baseman. The coach gives me the sign to steal. Right when the ball leaves his hand I start running. I run and slide into second

“Batter up,” the umpire hollered. I took a deep breath and walked up to the batter’s box. I placed my hand in the air towards the umpire, indicating time, so that I could get myself into the correct position. I took one last look at home plate and took another deep breath. This was it; my time to shine.

Under the lights, the dirt in my cleats, on my pants and in my glove. Feeling nervous in the box of my first at bat of the game, are the feelings that I long for. Since I was ten the bruises, scars and the raspberries on my legs gave me character. They gave me stories to tell, like how I dove for a ball made a fantastic play and got the girl out at first or how I slid in at home to score the winning run of the game. Softball is my passion, my main talent my pride and joy. Softball is my happiness, I am at peace when I am on the field.

We were going to gospel, and shortly after there was still time to do one last thing, go sledding again. This time Sofie tagged along. Since Lexi had already been sledding she knew a few things about the slopes. Kamron and Lexi wanted to try something a little different. Remember how earlier Lexi had broken the rules, well she did it again. Kamron and Lexi wanted to go three at a time with Sofie as a new addition. It took a few minutes, but Sofie figured out a way so all of them could fit. Waiting for the sled to drop Sofie was already, practically screaming. They were off, down the hill Lexi was starting to slip, Sofie’s hat fell onto her face, Kamron was the only one who could see what was happening. Lexi, screaming for dear life, finally fell off mid way. The good thing was she fell off laughing. All Lexi could see was her friends quickly sliding down the rest of the slope. When Lexi got to the bottom, her friends were both laughing out of control because they had realized that Lexi wasn’t there. And Sofie had informed them that her hat had fallen and couldn’t see the whole time. After that of course the team of goofs went over and over again, and almost the same thing happened every

The bus made two more stops until Hannah was at school. She could smell the sewage today. She tried to think of today as friday but no matter how hard she tried it was still a thursday. On her way to the pit now Hannah saw best friend Laurel. “Laurel!” shouted Hannah. “Wait up” she caught up to Laurel and they sat down in the pit with Madison, Athena, Sophia, McKenna, and Becca. Hannah remembered her candy and thought of a game to play with Laurel and some other friends. As soon as Becca saw the candy she wanted in. She asked to play and Hannah made the mistake of saying yes. Becca was drooling and it made Laural feel like she was sitting next to a weirdo. “Becca are you ok?” asked Hannah. “GREEN” shouted becca. Hannah slowly pulled out a green jolly rancher. Becca sat still and waited. Hannah gave Becca the jolly rancher but Becca was not to eat it. “Now becca” said Hannah, “you can't eat it” right at that moment becca shoved the candy in her mouth without taking of the rapper and scampered away. Hannahs face turned blood red with anger. As soon as becca left Sophia came and joined the game. Once more the poor child had been robbed! This time she got so mad that
